about

This is Pingipung 067.

ODD OKODDO is a Kenyan/German duo formed by Olith Ratego and Sven Kacirek. This vinyl single marks their first outing, announcing the album "Auma" which will be ripe and ready in autumn 2019.

Olith Ratego performs his immaculate vocals in the musical style called "dodo", which originates from the shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya, high in pitch and soulfully expressive. He himself refers to his music as "dodo blues". As a skilled luthier, Olith Ratego designs and builds his string instruments himself, first of all the five-stringed Okodo which lends its name to the project.

Sven Kacirek is a multi-instrumentalist commuting between Germany and Kenya for many years now. He plays the marimba, percussions and piano, next to producing this project. He has closely collaborated with various international musicians, among them Nils Frahm, Shabaka Hutchings, F.S. Blumm and Marc Ribot.

"Okitwoye" is one song of the first ODD OKODDO album "Auma“, it comes in a multi-layered, ambiguous rhythm between three and four.

The remix on the B side amplifies the essence of the song. Peter Power is a part of the Voodoohop collective from Brazil and his releases on Multi Culti or Polychrome Sounds fuel the rather slow, organically hypnotic dancefloors. He premiered this remix at the Heliodora festival in Brazil, at sunrise next to a giant waterfall, and it was just perfect.

1曲目雨を思わせる背景音がムードを形成いいねっ。一番最初に聞いたときがまさに雨の夜に外に出ようというタイミングだった。あとでよく晴れた昼に聞いたとき、その雨の夜を思い出し、二重状態に…。シンプルに音楽の魔法を感じる。 8曲目歪んだサウンドとトボけたフレーズがゆるやかにpanしてディレイが昼でも夜でも酩酊千鳥足でいいねっ。 9曲目 yolatengoを思わせるトーンがいいねっ。yolatengo大好きなもんで…。 iwamoog
