zulya and the children of the underground

The waltz of emptiness (UAR)

Hailing from the Volga River region of the former USSR she brings elements of Russian music and that of her Tatar heritage and weds it to an expansive world consciousness. The timbre and control of subtle inflections in her voice are immediately identifiable and unforgettable. In addition to having received numerous awards for her music in Australia, recognition of her talent in the international arena has led to the inclusion of her music on the Putumayo collections Dreamland and Music From The Coffee Lands.

She is one of a select couple of artists residing in Australia to follow a successful international career in culturally based music. On her previous three releases she performed music that was not only inspired by the music of her Tatar heritage but also many different cultures from Africa to South America and the Middle East. Released in Nov 2004, The Waltz Of Emptiness is Zulya’s first album sung exclusively in Russian and was inspired by the vast Moscow underground.

	Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen


	victor martinez & the martinez brothers The Martinez family have played with Concrete Blonde, Diana Krall, Machine Gun Fellatio, Ozomatli and George and Andy Summers. 'New Timba' is a culmination of the traditional and the new. It is father against son and classical versus contemporary, but it is also the embrace of musical generations. Calm then chaotic, beautiful the forceful. The interplay and understanding that flows through Martinez is inspiring, endearing and infectious.


	monsieur camembert - self titled This 'unreleased retrospective' features 20 rarities from the Camembert archives, including live & demo recordings that span six years and 15 musicians. Includes favorites such as Bohemian Rhapsody and Money Money Money..."Gypsy melodies unexpectedly fling themselves into full-tilt sambas, and traditional tangos are interrupted with flashes of pop songs & disco rhythms... a brazen and intoxicating blend of jazz, gypsy swing, Latin & East European influences...!" (The Age, 2004)

	Joe Camilleri - Volume III (Jazzhead records) I can't believe 8 months have passed and I'm doing a post mortem on yet another Bakelite Radio disc. This one is called Volume lll. For the record, there was never another disc meant for this line up. I caused so much grief calling the first disc Bakelite Radio Volume ll, well I figured this one just had to be Volume lll." Joe Camilleri. Here it is, 16 songs fresh and ready to go!
