GHETTO EDEN featuring MALICK
WAR SIGNALS VOL1
Alternative content
Ghetto Eden
represent a pure musical energy explosion. The crew from Lecce has
three members: Marco a.k.a. Dj Zinfo, Flavio, and Khadim a.k.a. Afro
Bamba. Marco is the dj of the group: in '05 and '06 he produced 2
mix-cds, Killamixtape vol.1 and vol.2, in which he shows up his
ability at the turntables and a large special collection; culture
and roots lover, he attends the administration and promotion of the
crew. Flavio, mc and singer, takes his first steps in raggamuffin
music in the beginning of 1998. His lyrics grow up from positive and
negative aspects of the street, his style is rooted to the sound of
Salento in his particular powerful vocal technique. The point is to
let the audience get closer to important social themes through a
music made of reality melted up with entertainment. Khadim is a boy from Senegal grown up in Lecce since he was a child,
this city gave him hospitality and gave him the opportunity to sing
in dialect and also in his own wolof language; he took part as main
figure in a video by Africa Unite, he appeared in videos by
SudSoundSystem and Thug Team, and in the '04 '05 '06 editions of the
Italian Dancehall Queen Contest.
The Ghetto Eden crew is considered as one of the most important
musical realities in that reggae ground called "Salento". They
started taking their steps in music seeking an artistical answer to
youth estrangement and violence typical of too many youths all over
Italy. Thanks to the help from the famous veterans SudSoundSystem
and Dj War, they grew and became mature during the well known summer
dancehalls on the beaches of Salento, always promoting other events
by themselves with other local, national and international artists.
From the beginning they let people appreciate their shows in the
main yards of Italy such as Pergola, Acqua Potabile, Cantiere 21,
c.s.o. Orso (MIlano), Top a Top, Intifada (Roma), Livello, Link
(Bologna), c.s.a.Pedro (Padova), tnt (perugia), tnt (Napoli),
c.s.a.
Auro (Catania), New Demode (Bari) and took part in many festivals -
Rise, Heineken festival, Summer festival, Made in Salento, Da bass,
etc.
They recently appeared in the last tournee of SudSoundSystem with
who they also took part in The Salento Showcase project. They are
dancehall style lovers, but always want to give a 360° sound in
selections and live shows, speaking about messages of consciousness
and anger at the same time, with the will to fight for our ideals
and toughts. Through their path they took part, together with Shotta-p
and Thug Team, in a ragga-hip hop project called "Scumbenati".
Recently the family acquired a new member with the arrival of El Hàdji Malick
bringing some wind of Africa with himself. |
