Born in the dark streets of Cairo, grown to the unforgettable forests of Santa Esmeralda, spending its teen years in Bombay and Tangier markets, mature into the deep spacey Jungle of Ghana we proudly present you a new label from the land of the pyramids: SHANGO RECORDS invites you to an unheard world music psychedelic trip: like through a colorful kaleidoscope we will melt down Indian and Pakistani Vibes, Arab-Tek and Oriental groovy vibes, Afro-Beat rhythms n' pieces, Cumbia Tropicana flavors and cosmic Ghetto-Latin vibes into forbidden sounds of frenzied electronic dancefloor rituals. Outside traditional paths these driving grooves and polyphonic structures take the adventure seeking dancer to Dionysian highs and places never been before.





In participating in the aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat in listening to the songs, in cupping hands over the flame, in following the movements of performers as they prostrate, kneel, raise and fold their hands, the sensations combine in creating a vivid immersive experience of being aware, feeling the performance in the moment, in present. Touch, hapticity, proprioception%u2014the proximate senses become as dominant as the distant%u2014hearing and seeing. Embodied perception is subjective, varying in its affective impact among individuals, but it rests upon the shared substratum consisting sensations experienced by the body. In (syn)aesthetic experience, %u201Ca felt appreciation of %u2018making sense%u2019 in a semantic and cerebral fashion and sense-making, understanding through somatic, embodied perception via feeling (both sensory and emotional) created in performance occur.%u201D The performers paying homage to Ganga in their stylized gestures and postures in synchronization with live music enact out bhakti bhav (devotion feeling) and a devotee is likely to share it. The crowd collectively feels the energy and even those unfamiliar with the tradition are mesmerized by the spectacle. Jack Essek is back on Shango Records with a fresh 4-tracks EP called %u201CInfusion EP%u201D, and this is an acoustic occasion to imagine, ponder, feel and construct your own meaning about the soundtrack for dancefloor meditation.
