DANCEHALL IS THE NEW DANCEHALL

by Rupture. August 13th, 2009

cooler than a Quebois maple leaf in autumn? hotter than [insert soca/Trini image here]? Ghislain Poirier shares with us a sweet new Busy Signal remix.

I’m into the idea of using dancehall to make more dancehall, the concept is very dancehall.

GHISLAIN POIRIER SPEAKS

by Lamin. April 15th, 2009


An Interview with Ghislain Poirier from Maga Bo on Vimeo.

Another installation in his excellent and informative mini-doc series, musician and documentarian Maga Bo interviews Ghislain Poirier – he talks about his background, making collaborations and building bridges, exoticism and problems with authenticity, and a lot more.

Bo sez -

With this series of mini-docs, I want to demystify the music production process a bit and bring out the humanity of it.  After all, music is a manifestation of history.  of choices and relationships.  This is common to any art, discipline, individual, group or society.  Through communication, real and imaginary differences and similarities become clearer.  Separatist ghetto exoticism cannot exist in this space.  Tamu juntos e misturados.

You can check the rest of the mini-docs (DJ/rupture, Daniel Haaksman, MC Gringo, Diplo, Fletcher from African Dope, Eritbu Agegnehu Askenaw, Xuman and Keyti) here on Vimeo (better quality) and here on Youtube.
