James Stewart - Cotonou EP

James Stewart is the host, resident DJ and co-promoter of monthly night “Black Atlantic Club” at Le Sucre in Lyon. Borrowing the term “Black Atlantic” from renowned scholar Paul Gilroy’s 1993 book, Stewart presents “black music” as a transnational, incredibly diverse cultural exchange. An avid lecturer on the subject and founder of the Blog Afrosouldescarga, he merges an intellectual approach with the musical and creative side of things: as an active conga player and percussionist, member of Voilaaa Sound System and showhost at Radio Nova. This EP is the work of of a mature and thoughtful musician, combining different musical influences at a high level of production. Alma Negra Records are proud to present James Stewart with his Cotonou EP!

"Cotonou’s 6/8 rhythm is inspired by the Chimurenga Music of Zimbabwe. Thomas Mapfumo is one of the musicians who popularized this music in the early 80`s to the world. The lyrics are from a poem I wrote during my first trip to Bénin, a land full of music, poetry & theatre. A land where I’ve travelled a lot. My friend Basile Olatunde gave me a great interpretation on this song, which I chose to be the title of my first EP. In memory of the great times I’ve spent in this country and the very important face-to-face encounter with my Brother Gauthier Marchais."

Credits : Cotonou : written & composed by James Stewart.
Basile Olatunde: Lead Vocal, chorus & 2nd guitar, guitar solo
