After the real savage compilations of Cazumbi and Zulu Stomp, Nosmoke Records attacks again. Now looking back to the Indonesian legacy of garage and rock'n'roll. Those bands wrote some history by themselves during the '60s and confronted the Indonesian regim12/28/2010e with music. Some of these bands migrated to Europe, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong and helped out creating a new musical movement called Indo-Rock. Bands like The Peels, Swallows, Tielmann Brothers or Rolling Beats have been part of that movement. Lots of fuzz and rock'n'roll, making their own revolution trough the fuzz pedal. Among these, other bands confronted the regime inside Indonesia, like Dara Puspita or Koes, among others. Don't look for protest ballads or even traditional songs here, there's only room for garage, raw beat and Indo-rock at its best.

Jan Johansson (1988) -Folkvisor

Size: 147 MB

Jan Johansson (16 September 1931 – 9 November 1968) was a Swedish jazz pianist. He is little known outside Scandinavia, and his records are not widely available, though Jazz på svenska (Jazz in Swedish) has sold more than a quarter of a million copies, and is the best selling jazz release ever in Sweden.
Johansson was a native of Söderhamn, in the Hälsingland province of Sweden. Studying classical piano as a child, he would also go on to master the guitar, organ and accordion, before turning on to swing and bebop as a teenager. He met saxophonist Stan Getz while at university. He abandoned his studies to play jazz full time, and worked with many American jazz musicians, becoming the first European to be invited to join the Jazz at the Philharmonic package.
In November 1968 Jan Johansson died in a car crash on his way to a concert in a church in Jönköping, Sweden. His sons, Anders Johansson and Jens Johansson, run Heptagon Records which keeps their father's recordings available.

João Paulo, Peter Epstein, Ricardo Dias (2001) -Nascer

Artist: João Paulo, Peter Epstein, Ricardo Dias
Albums: Nascer

Nascer is a collection of free and personal performances of folk melodies, taken from both the Portuguese and Sefardic traditions.
The absolute origin of the music, as far as places and authors are concerned, will have to remain in question.
References to Portuguese and Sefardic roots only name, "thank" and pay tribute to the people who have been preserving the melodies' memories through time.
All melodies are born in certain places, within certain borders, but like human beings, melodies are also very apt to cross borders and travel though countries and centuries, in a non-ending voyage.
With this in mind, one can perhaps grasp the poetical aimings of the title, Nascer (the Portuguese "to be born") as a sign pointing to both music and life:
An active passion and a personal variation of silence. ~ Berlin, April 14, 2001 João Paulo Esteves da Silva
