Re_Con BA$$

by Telefunksoul & Felipe Pomar

RE_CON_BA$$ – (RE_CON = Recôncavo da Bahia / BA$$ = Bass Music)

The production partnership between producers Felipe Pomar (TrapFunk & Alivio) and Telefunksoul (Bahia Bass/ Pragatecno), began in January 2017 during the production of a remix for the album “Outras Cidades” by BaianaSystem. The experience inspired them to collaborate on a new EP exploring the rhythms of the Recôncavo region of Bahia. With the objective of exploring Afrobeat in its widest possible sense of interpretation, they researched and experimented with how the incredibly diverse foundation of Bahian music can be transmuted and combined with Bass Music – Rap, Trap, Future House, Deep House, etc. The focus of this EP is to show how regional rhythms of the Bahian Recôncavo can be adapted to Bass music as well as its inverse, how Bass music can adapt and integrate into local traditions. Transforming but maintaining and respecting the original rhythmic cells, the result is an organically manifested avant-garde sound. This is the rescue and re-interpretation of Bahian regional musical culture.

The album counts on the participation of MC Fabio Lima, an Angolan DJ/MC based in Salvador; Cecilia Stalin, a singer of Swedish jazz based in London; Mr Armeng and MC Sagat, residents of Northeast Amaralina in Salvador, MCs representing hip hop and funk respectively; and finally, the great Nikima, former vocalist of the famed Lampirônicos, currently dedicated to his own project, Auss & Auss.

This EP Blends the Afro-Brazilian Rhythms of Bahia With Bass Music Get into Telefunksoul and Felipe Pomar's Ré_Con Ba$$ EP. Brazilian producers Felipe Pomar (of TrapFunk & Alivio) and Telefunksoul come through with a dizzyingly energetic EP in the form of Ré_Con Ba$$. Telefunksoul, who happens to be one of the main promoters of Bahia Bass music, came up with the concept of exploring the rhythms coming out of Recôncavo of Bahia and showing how they can fit into bass music. Through the 7-track Ré_Con Ba$$ EP, him and Pomar mold and transform the diverse music of Bahia, fusing its rhythms with afrobeat, future house, deep house and much more. "Ré_Con_Ba$$ EP indirectly travels in the universe of the 'musical diaspora'," Felipe Pomar writes to OkayAfrica. "The region of the Recôncavo of Bahia has strong rhythmically influence of Angola [and] Congo. The Bahia Bass is a tool of the electronic music strand that within the contxet of the EP connects the regional with the Global Bass." The EP features additional collaborations with Nikima, Mr. Armeng, Cecilia Stalin, Mc Fabio Lima and Mc Sagat
