COLORS MUSIC
MUSIC FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD
The fifth CD due for release is dedicated to Central Asian new republics
INNER ASIAN POP presents the best in pop music from Central Asian new republics of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan.
After just a decade from their independence of the Soviet Union (USSR), the record industry of all this new dubious democracies is inexistent, with only a pirate market populated by western popular music and “Estrada”, their incarnation of pop music developing a mix of western and autochthonous traditional compositions, that mainly fall under the spell of the western repetitive pop formula.
In this context traditional music is struggling to survive, sometimes only through foreign funding for concert tours abroad, or through NGO organizations, that try to preserve it in its most traditional incarnation. But unfortunately Central Asian music remains still unknown for the western public.
This compilation features for the first time in the west, the most interesting and innovative musicians that still keeping a good knowledge of traditions maintain them alive through a right mix of contemporary influences and traditional modes.
Some of the artists featured are well known in their countries other are less, some are self produced, others are produced in the west, but the selection certainly represents the best in Central Asian pop productions.
Colors Music represents the musical extension of Colors Magazine. Founded ten years ago on the idea that difference is a positive thing but that all cultures have the same value, Colors is a quarterly magazine “about the rest of the world”. Sold in 60 countries and published in three editions and four languages, the magazine is part of the editorial activities of Fabrica and uses a network of external correspondents from the four corners of the world.
Produced under agreement with Irma Records, an international label distributed by Sony Music, founded in Bologna in 1988 and with branches in London and New York, are distributed both in big chains and specialized stores. Colors Inner Asian Pop is coming out in April 2006 in Italy and May 2006 in the rest of the world.
