Weekend Soul

Great concert last Wednesday at the Bierhübeli Bern venue. Ghost-Note rocked the house!

Weekend Soul will be back this Sunday morning from 11 AM (CET) on Radio RaBe with another two hour-session of quality music. And the opener will be this gorgeous tune from British vocalist Georgia Cécile: “In New York” sounds very classy and succeeds so well in capturing the energy of big-city life. Georgia Cécile said about this song: “The air of possibility, the freedom of expression, the chance encounters and bold characters – these are what have inspired this new sound.”😊

This Sunday from 11 AM (CET) we will be listening to new music from Washington DC-based vocalist and songwriter Cecily Alexa Bumbray.

So, if you want to know more about this talented artist with this mellow and sultry soprano, tune in on Radio RaBe and check out this video. 😊

This Sunday from 11 AM (CET) Weekend Soul has two hours of great music to offer for all listeners of the station Radio RaBe. Tune in and discover brand-new sounds from Acantha Lang, Ezra Collective, Jimetta Rose Music, Kelli Sae, Lalah Hathaway, Resolution 88, or Thee Sacred Souls. We will also put on the turntables a great track from the new project “The Modern Jazz & Folk Ensemble” from British saxophonist Sean Khan. Our album-highlight this time is “Find Your Flame” from UK’s afrobeat, jazz and funk nine-piece group Nubiyan Twist, with the guest appearance of guitarist Nile Rodgers. Our real gem from the rare groove spectrum is dedicated to a gorgeous song from Eramus Hall, a fabulous eighties soul & funk band from Detroit. And we will also listen to a yet unreleased disco masterpiece from the late seventies, a collaboration between Brazilian bossa nova-legend Marcos Valle and the pivotal soul producer and composer Leon Ware (see press picture below). And finally, we will make a short musical preview of the 58th Montreux Jazz Festival which will open its doors at the shores of Lake Geneva on July 5th. Pump up the volume of your radio and enjoy the music! 😃

Nubiyan Twist played last Thursday at MoodsClub in Zurich. It has been one of the first concerts of their European Tour. It was more than worth it to see them live. What a powerful and groovy performance! 😃
