Embryo - Live In Berlin - U1CD-2015-2 Something for everyone - every fan will be satisfied with what they are getting. The band is totally in their element, totally crazed to play, and offers the quintessence of their history. (Artos 09/98) Thirty years ago, thirty long plays, one TV-film, and five thousand concerts in four continents; with over three hundred and fifty musicians in addition to the drummer, vibraphonplayer, percussionist, composer, producer, hobby-musical ethnologist and bandleader Christian Burchard: all of these elements and people built the project Embryo in Munich. Today, Embryo is an institution in Worldmusic. Musicians like Trilok Gurtu, Ramesh Shotam, Mal Waldron, Roman Bunka, Siggi Schwab, Charlie Mariano, the Dissidenten...all refer to their successful co-operation with Burchard.
At the end of the 80's, Embryo gave concerts with the Yoruba Dun Dun Orchestra (Nigeria) and El Hussaine Kili (Morocco) throughout Europe. Besides Christian Burchard, Chris Karrer (sax, g, vio, perc / Ex-Amon Düül II), Michael Wehmeyer (keyb, perc / now Rahala) and Dieter Serfas (dr, perc), were the live-line up of Embryo. In June 1989, a short time before the Berlin Wall Crash, the Rundfunk der DDR recorded a concert of Embryo at the Friedrichstadtpalast, Berlin. One year later, the East-German record-company, AMIGA, released a record with parts of that concert. Although the record was only on the market a short time, it recieved very good reviews. E.g. the Jazzthetik called the record "the best Embryo-LP till now" (10/90). Consequently, the LP is very much in demand. By courtesy of BMG Musik Berlin GmbH, we released this record as a CD. The concert was divided into three parts: a Moroccan session with El Hussaine Kili, a ritual-music session of the Yoruba with the Yoruba Dun Dun Orchestra, and an inter-cultural session. The CD has samples from all three diverse sessions of music. Tracklisting: Maroccaine Wind / Knaur Power / Quarter Note Jazz / Shogun, Oriki / Masc Dance Music / Imelaku I. / Obatala / Imelaku II. / Sawaba Personell: El Hussaine Kili (gembri, Voc), Christian Buchard (vib, hackbrett, dr, pilala), Chris Karrer (sax, v, oud, g), Michael Wehmeier (p, org, el-p), Dieter Serfas (dr, shäkere), Lamidi Ayankule (dun dun, bata), Rabiu Ayandokun (gudu gudu, imelaku, gangan), Ojetunde Ajayi (voc, dance) Recorded: live 1989 at Friedrichsstadtpalast, Berlin Compiled by Jimi Wunderlich and Michael Wehmeyer |
