Bebo Best & The Super Lounge Orchestra ChinChin Records
A wonderful and fun mix of ancient and modern styles, from the Rio Psychedelica of the 1960s to European versions of what the liner notes fancifully but captivatingly call "the Bossa-Bombay atmosphere". The history of Brazilian and Indian musicians blending their music together is long and remains one of the most exciting musical journeys. Brazil and India share a love for acoustic stringed instruments and percussion. And you know what? Somehow mysterious, down an unfamiliar road, everything ends up sounding great, as it's done with care, love and good humor. This unique album features a celebration of the musical mix between these two rich cultures. From Brazilian Bollywood-inspired songs to Bossa-led sitar funk; from melodious downtempo sitar to deep batucada and tabletop rhythms: Indian summer has arrived in Copacabana.

RUPA MU Concert of May 1st (RAI Themes: Adolescence, Youth, Leisure, Interculturality, Music Tantra RUPA MU (2002) Transensuality, The new album by "Tantra Tribe Unltd.", Is a disc dedicated to the most beautiful voices in the world, which hosts wonderful Indian, Arabic and lyric melodies, combined with pulsating African rhythms, Radiohead guitars, to sounds heirs of Bill Laswell, Bjork, Gabriel and Massive Attack, to the most sought-after influences of the new electronic drum'n bass, trip-hop sounds. An ambitious design, which marks the return to the scene of the Alchemist known throughout the world for his evocative musical productions published together with characters such as Jon Hassel, Brian Eno, Roger Eno, Steven Brown, Steve Reich, Michael Nyman, Wim Mertens, Bill Laswell, Paul Bowles. B.B. he edited this production for three years, looking in the four corners of the planet for the voices suitable for his new opera: the Sufi singer Ghassan Mawlawi, the Jamaican Dub guru Mad Professor, the splendid Arabic voice of Bachir Charaf, the Indian voice of Narah, the Celtica by Romina Salvadori (Estasia) and the slam poetry of the American rapper Max m 'bass'adò. Continuing the happy debut of the previous "Life is here", the new album by Tantra Tribe Unltd. it is a project where a very new and potentially explosive osmosis takes shape and vigor between East and West. A sort of "World Pop", in which millennial vocal melodies from Arabia, India and Europe naturally blend with grooves, dub, metropolitan rhythm machines and instruments of the purest tradition - the sitar, the bouzouki, the tablas, bendir - in a sound worthy of the best trendy DJs across the Channel. Compared to this highly original métissage, which across the border already boasts legions of followers and promises to be the "must" par excellence for the months to come, the "Tantra Tribe Unltd." they prove to have wonderfully clear ideas. This new album pulsating with rhythmic vibrations, fascinatingly swaying around contamination, seems to be the essential figure of the new global music. > Interpreters: Tantra > Production: Marco Godano for Primo Maggio srl

March 2022 - MUSICTRAX Do you know and love Amy Winehouse? This reimagining of Magnetic4 / Duzzy, in the Lounge-Bossa-Club of Back to Black, is radio and commercial, an almost perfect job. A so beautiful and painstakingly cared for in every little sound detail that it deserves, like an instant classic, a timely release with Irma records, a sound firmly rooted in the fifties and sixties of that Stax Motown duo that doesn't seem to be touched in the least. from the shame of time. Duzzy deserves attention, he is a pure talent. Its discoverer, Bebo Best, knows it well, who after introducing it with the Super Lounge Orchestra in the latest album "Harake Bay" (his voice of Six feet under, by Billie Eilish) for the ChinChin rec label. from London. A clear, luminous and consoling voice like few others, which renews and pays homage to a glorious and transversal tradition (that of the various Dusty Springfield and Supremes).

"...By Bebo's own admission it's impossible to do a better job than Pink Floyd did, however this album is heartwarming and vibrant in the right way."" (www.gramophoniq.com) (ENG) 9/10 |Bob Einstein|Music Box "The world doesn't seem big enough to hold all the musical ideas of this genius who goes by the name of Bebo Baldan, also known as Bebo Best. The multi-instrumental composer has spanned all genres in his career from contemporary classical to trash metal, making soundtracks for TV movies and commercials and earning a place of honor internationally. His music is an almost permanent guest on some BBC radio programs, most notably the Craig Charles Show. It should therefore come as no surprise that this album is played entirely on the piano, in a reinterpretation of The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd which here becomes the WHITE Side of the Moon ... with a quote "Look up", from the film Don 't Look up. By Bebo's own admission it's impossible to do a better job than Pink Floyd did, however this album is heartwarming and vibrant in the right way." 9/10 Bob Einstein Music Box (ITA) Il mondo non sembra abbastanza grande per contenere tutte le idee musicali di questo genio che risponde al nome di Bebo Baldan, anche conosciuto come Bebo Best. Il compositore polistrumentista ha spaziato nella sua carriera tra tutti i generi dalla classica contemporanea al trash metal, e realizzando colonne sonore per film TV e spot pubblicitari e guadagnandosi un posto d'onore a livello internazionale. La sua musica è un ospite quasi permanente in alcuni programmi radiofonici della BBC, in particolare il programma di Craig Charles. Non deve quindi stupire se quest'album è interamente suonato al pianoforte, in una reinterpretazione di The Dark Side of the Moon dei Pink Floyd che qui diventa il WHITE Side of the Moon... con una citazione "Look up", dal film Don't Look up. Per stessa ammissione di Bebo è impossibile fare un lavoro migliore di quello che I Pink Floyd lo hanno fatto, tuttavia questo album è commovente e vibrante nel modo giusto 9/10 Bob Einstein Music Box MUSIC BY PINK FLOYD, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PIANO SOLO (AND MECHANICAL RIGHTS), BEBO BEST
