Marie Daulne

Zap Mama is a Belgian musical group founded and led by Marie Daulne. Daulne says her mission is to be a bridge between the European and the African and bring the two cultures together with her music.^[1] "What I would like to do is bring sounds from Africa and bring it to the Western world, because I know that through sound and through beats, that people discover a new culture, a new people, a new world."^[2] Zap Mama specializes in polyphonic, harmonic music with a mixture of heavily infused African instruments, R&B, and Hip-hop and emphasizes voice in all their music.^[1] "The voice is an instrument itself," says Daulne.^[1] "It's the original instrument. The primary instrument. The most soulful instrument, the human voice."^[3] They sing in French and English with deep African roots.

Sources of Zap Mama's music[link]

Sources of Zap Mama's music include Daulne's roots in the Democratic Republic of Congo, her upbringing in Belgium, and her return to Africa to rediscover her musical roots.

Democratic Republic of Congo[link]

Marie Daulne, the founder and leader of Zap Mama, was born in Isiro, one of the largest cities in the north of the Orientale Province of Democratic Republic of the Congo (also known as Congo-Kinshasa after its capital to distinguish it from the Republic of the Congo, or Congo-Brazzaville).^[4] She is the fourth child of Cyrille Daulne, a Walloon (a French-speaking Belgian), and Bernadette Aningi, a Bantu woman from Kisangani, formerly Stanleyville, the third largest city in Congo-Kinshasa.^[1] When Marie was only a week old, her father was attacked and killed by Simba rebels, who were opposed to mixed-race relationships.^[1] "He did not have a chance to come with us because he was captured," Daulne says.^[5] "He was a prisoner of the rebels for a while, then they killed him."^[5] Her mother escaped into the jungle with Marie and was arrested by the rebels but was later set free because she spoke their language.^[1] Daulne pays tribute to those pygmies who rescued her family in the song "Gati" from Supermoon.^[6] "They saved my family and many others during the Congolese rebellion," Daulne says, "and they deserve recognition for that."^[6]

Marie and her sisters were eventually airlifted out to Kinshasa with their mother and flown to Belgium because their father had been a Belgian citizen.^[1] "I think the experience of the political situation is more my mother, who had to survive. I was a baby, and I just was protected by my mother. What I know that I learned from my mother is to be strong and to stay positive in any kind of situation; that's the best weapon to survive. That's what I learned, and this is the main message I pass into my music," says Daulne.^[2]

Belgium[link]

Growing up in Belgium was hard for Daulne.^[7] "It was hard as a kid, you want to look like everybody else, and there aren’t many black people in Belgium – compared to England, or America or France. It became easier as I grew older. There were more black role models about – musicians and sports stars. At school I started to see my mixed heritage as a bonus – I could be part of both the African and Belgian communities."^[7]

Although Daulne remembers that her mother sang some songs from Congo Kinshasa around the house, her mother did not teach them to the children, stressing mastery of French instead.^[4] Daulne listened to European music as she grew up.^[8] "We had the radio when I was growing up in Belgium, so we heard a lot of French music. And of course, American music was also very popular all over Europe. Since our mother did not want us to watch TV in our home, we entertained ourselves by creating our own music. We were very musical."^[9] Daulne was introduced to black music watching television.^[8] "When I was growing up, there weren't many black people in Europe -- my family was alone. Then I saw an American musical comedy with black people on TV. And I couldn't believe it. I said, "That's us!" My whole fantasy life was based on that movie."^[8] Daulne felt a special connection to blues songs like Damn your eyes by Etta James.^[10] "When I was a teenager I listened to a lot of American blues," she says.^[10] "That song brought me happiness while I was going through the pain of a broken love. It helped me to open the door and see the life in front of me. I sing it now and I hope, in my turn, that I can help another teenager to do the same if they are having pain from love."^[10]

When Daulne was 14 she went to England and first heard reggae.^[8] "I discovered Bob Marley -- my favorite album was Kaya. I know that whole album by heart."^[8] Then Daulne became interested in the rap music of Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys.^[8] "I was into breakdancing at the time. I formed a gang, and we would beatbox like the Americans, like the Fat Boys."^[8]

After Daulne left home she remembered the African songs her mother sang to her as a child.^[11] "When I left home, I missed those songs, and in the school choir, I wondered why we didn't use African harmonising. So my sister and I started to sing African melodies, and Zap Mama was born. I wrote my first song at 15, and my artist friend Nina said that what we were doing was amazing. She helped me to find a gig, and from that day, it has been non-stop."^[11] But Daulne didn't really get interested in singing until an accident left her unable to participate in athletics.^[8] "I wanted to be a runner, but then I broke my leg and I was finished with sports. I stayed at home, listening to music. I was recording sounds all the time -- I would listen to sounds repeating for hours. But there was something that I needed still, and that's when I decided to go to Africa, to the forest."^[8]

Return to Africa[link]

In the documentary film Mizike Mama, Daulne and her family recall a reverse cultural tug-of-war for her allegiance during her childhood.^[12] Her mother feared that Daulne would grow up too African and so did not teach her tribal songs.^[12] However the Belgian side of her family encouraged Daulne to explore her African heritage.^[12] Daulne first heard a recording of traditional pygmy music when she was 20.^[13] She decided to return Congo-Kinshasa in 1984^[4] to learn about her heritage and train in pygmy onomatopoeic vocal techniques.^[13] "When I went to the Congo, I hadn’t thought of being a musician. Not at all. But I was there, and I was standing in the middle of the forest, hearing the music that had been a part of my earliest memories, and it was like an illumination, like a light," Daulne said.^[9] Daulne made further trips to Africa.^[4] "I go all around Africa. I started where I was born, in the forest of Zaire. After that I branched out to West Africa, South Africa, East Africa. It [is] very easy for me to learn because all African cultures seem to have something in common the music and the voices," Daulne says.^[4] Although Daulne draws inspiration from Africa, she does not call Africa home.^[5] "You know when I went back to Congo, I thought I would have a welcome like I was part of the family, part of the country, but that was not the case," Daulne said.^[5] "They treated me like a Belgian come to visit as a tourist. I saw that that is not especially a place to call home."^[5]

Zap Mama[link]

Marie Daulne, the founder and leader of Zap Mama, says her mission is to be a bridge between the European and the African and bring the two cultures together with her music. Daulne specializes in polyphonic, harmonic music with a mixture of heavily infused African instruments, R&B, and Hip-hop. Daulne emphasizes voice in all her music, as she says "the voice is an instrument itself."^[1]

Daulne's music has evolved over the years from an a cappella quintet to a lead voice accompanied by instruments.^[14] "I’m a nomad. I like to discover my sound with different instruments, different genres. For me it’s normal. My name is Zap Mama...it’s easy for me to zap in from one instrument to another, a culture, a style. I’m more a citizen of the world, not an American or Belgian." ^[14] Zap Mama has released seven full-length albums: Adventures in Afropea 1 (1993), Sabsylma (1994), Seven (1997), A Ma Zone (1999), Ancestry in Progress (2004), Supermoon (2007), and ReCreation (2009) that fall into four cycles.^[9]

First Cycle: Adventures in Afropea 1 and Sabsylma[link]

When Daulne returned to Belgium, she spent several years singing in Brussels in jazz cafes. In 1989, she founded the group Zap Mama to merge the African and European aspects of her identity.^[15] Daulne auditioned scores of female singers looking for the right combination of voices for an a cappella ensemble.^[16] "When I did my first album, I was looking for girls that were the same mix as me--African and European," she says.^[10] "I wanted to put these two sounds together to prove that to have blood from white and black was perfect harmony on the inside."^[10] The five vocalists—Daulne, Sylvie Nawasadio, Sabine Kabongo, Marie Alonso, and Sally Nyolo--combined the sounds of Congolese Pygmies with vocal styles of European choral traditions.^[15] The original idea of Zap Mama was "five singers who would be one," Daulne said.^[17] "There is no chief."^[17] "The power of voices was my thing," Daulne said.^[16] "I wanted to show the world the capacity of five women exploring...our voices and our minds, nothing else."^[16]

Zap Mama performed their first concert in 1989.^[15] In 1991, the group recorded their first record, Zap Mama, at Studio Daylight in Brussels, Belgium.^[18] The album was released by Crammed Discs, the Belgian record label of Marc Hollander and Vincent Kenis (who produced the album).^[3] In 1992, Zap Mama came to the United States for the first time to perform at New Music Seminar in New York. There, they met David Byrne and agreed to let him reissue Zap Mama's first recordings as Adventures in Afropea 1 ^[9] on Luaka Bop Records.^[17] By the end of the year, Billboard announced it was the top seller for "world music."^[17] Zap Mama went on tour, playing New York's Central Park, Paris' Olympia, the Jazz-festival of Montreux.^[3] After the success of Adventures in Afropea 1, Zap Mama split from Luaka Bop Records over artistic difference. According to Daulne, the record company "wanted to mold us into a poppy girl band, but I said, 'No, you'll kill me', and I stopped. Everyone was asking why I wanted to stop when we'd finally arrived at the top. But I felt that it was completely wrong. I wasn't ready. I wasn't strong enough. The manager said that if I stopped then, I'd be killing my career, but it was my decision."^[11]

The next album Sabsylma (Crammed Discs, 1994) featured Indian, Moroccan, and Australian influences^[15] and earned Zap Mama a Grammy nomination for Best World Music Album.^[9] Daulne explained that the sharper sound of Sabsylma was due to the increasing influence of American music, as a result of being on the road.^[3] "We've been touring so intensively. Adventures in Afropea 1 was a soft, African record with a natural, round sound. Sabsylma is hectic, sharper. Not on purpose, mind you. I can't help it. If you're driving in a van for months, and you constantly hear the sounds of traffic, TV, hard rock on the radio ... those sounds hook up in your ears, and come out if you start to sing."^[3]

In the studio, Daulne used an organic process of improvisation to create her music.^[3] "I'm always looking for sounds. Most of the time, I work with colors. Each sound needs different colors of voices. I dissect sounds, cut them in little pieces, order them, and reassemble them," says Daulne.^[3] "During the rehearsals, we light some candles, start a tape-recorder, close our eyes, and start making up a story. On that, we start adding sounds. We let ourselves go. We are carried away by the music."^[3]

While Zap Mama worked on Sabsylma in the studio, Director Violaine de Villers made a documentary, Mizike Mama (1993), presenting a portrait of the group.^[12] The film focuses on Daulne as the driving force behind the group and discusses the implications of membership in a racially mixed group that consciously fuses African rhythms and vocal tones with European polyphony.^[12]

Second Cycle: Seven and A Ma Zone[link]

After the success of the first two albums, Daulne put her career on hold for a few years to birth and mother her daughter Kesia. Upon returning to her music, Daulne moved in a new direction. She chose to record Seven as the sole remaining member of the original Zap Mama. Her music had evolved stylistically as well. Adventures in Afropea 1 and Sabsylma had both been largely a cappella,^[4] but Seven broke with the past by including male musicians and vocalists, an increased number of instruments, and more songs in English.^[4] "I'm looking for instruments that have vocal sounds, forgotten instruments like the guimbri... The first and second albums were about the voice, what came before. This album is about introducing those sounds into modern, Western life," says Daulne.^[15] The title of Seven (1997)^[9] refers to the seven senses of a human being.^[15] When Daulne traveled to Mali in 1996, she had learned the Malian belief that in addition to the five senses known in the West, some have a sixth sense of emotion.^[15] "But not everyone has the seventh. It is the power to heal with music, calm with color, to soothe the sick soul with harmony. [The man who taught me about this belief] told me that I have this gift, and I know what I have to do with it," Daulne says.^[3]

Daulne's next album was A Ma Zone (1999).^[9] The title is a wordplay meaning both "Amazone," the female warrior, and "A Ma Zone," (in my zone)^[3] which "means that I feel at ease wherever I am," Daulne says.^[9] "Naturally an Amazon is a rebel, a fighter who, once she has set her heart on something, pulls out all the stops to achieve her goal. I feel this way as well when I'm standing on the stage with the group-- as a team we share the same aim of winning over the audience with our music," Daulne says.^[9] That same year, Zap Mama made "Iko-Iko" for Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack, a cover of "Jock-A-Mo" by Sugar Boy & the Cane Cutters.

Third Cycle: Ancestry in Progress and Supermoon[link]

Daulne moved to New York in 2000.^[17] "I've never been welcome in any country as my own country," says Daulne.^[17] "In Europe, they talk to me as if I'm from Congo. In Congo, they act like I'm from Europe. The first time I felt at home was in New York. I said, ‘Here is my country. Everybody is from somewhere else. I feel so comfortable here.'"^[17]

Ancestry in Progress (2004) reflects Daulne's new life in the United States, as it synthesizes her traditional African and European influences with American musical styles like hip-hop and R&B.^[9] "The American beat is a revolution all over the world," Daulne says.^[9] "Everybody listens to it and everybody follows it. But the beat of the United States was inspired by the beat coming from Africa. Not just its structure, but the sound of it. This is the source of modern sounds, the history of the beat, starting from little pieces of wood banging against one another, and arriving on the big sound-systems today. It's genius. So I wanted to create an album about the evolution of old ancestral vocal sounds, how they traveled from Africa, mixing with European and Asian sounds, and were brought to America."^[9] Ancestry in Progress (2004) reached #1 on the Billboard World Music Album chart.^[19] A music video for the single "Bandy Bandy," featuring Erykah Badu, directed by Bill Fishman and produced by David Herrera (music video director), aired on VH1.

After four years in the United States, Daulne moved back to Belgium^[20] and now calls Brussels home.^[7] "I lived in the United States from 2000 to 2004 and it is a place with so many stars. When I met a lot of big celebrities I realized I was not a big star and that I didn't want to be, because your life would be a habit, stuck in this and that. I prefer the singularity. I prefer to be me."^[16] Daule finds life easier in Belgium.^[7] "With my family...my children, the people I love — that is home."^[5] Daulne still draws inspiration from her travels.^[20] "Currently, I feel the need to go to England, because a lot of interesting things are happening over there. In my band, there are a lot of young musicians who teach me completely new things. They challenge me - and that is the way I like it," Daulne says.^[20]

In Supermoon (2007),^[9] Daulne's vocals take center stage.^[17] "When the audience appreciates the art of the artist, the audience becomes the sun and makes the artist shine as a full moon," says Daulne.^[17] Supermoon is also one of Daulne's most personal statements^[19] with songs like "Princess Kesia," an ode to her daughter and a reflection on her growth. "With Supermoon, I reveal the way I chose to live when I started my career,” says Daulne.^[19] “It’s very intimate…You’re seeing me very close up. I hope that’s a kind of intimacy that people will understand. I’m opening a door to who I am."^[19] "I always used to hide myself, and I'm not complaining about it, but now it is time to show my eyes and my femininity and my delicate side," said Daulne.^[16] "I am proud to be so feminine, because I have taken the time to develop...my femininity. Now that I have that, I can face anybody. And if anybody challenges me, there is no problem."^[16]

Fourth Cycle: ReCreation[link]

In 2009, Zap Mama released her latest album, ReCreation, which celebrates her tradition of world-wide influences and expresses her new attitude toward her life and music. Daulne describes the inspiration behind the album as her realization that she was learning and experiencing "something new all the time."^[21] The album's title refers to recreation in two senses of the world, both as a renewal of the self and as pleasurable relaxation and enjoyment. Almost every song on the album features a collaboration with another artist, including G. Love, Vincent Cassel, and Bilal. ReCreation was nominated by the NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding World Music Album.^[22]

Hideaki Ishi (石 英明, Ishi Hideaki^?) (born 1962, Tokyo, Japan), better known as DJ Krush, is a producer and DJ. He is known for his atmospheric instrumental production which incorporates sound elements from nature and extensive use of jazz and soul samples.

Biography[link]

Ishi was born in 1962 in Tokyo. Ishi dropped out of school at an early age and joined a local gang, and a few years later, the yakuza. Early into his career as a yakuza underling, Ishi discovered a severed finger wrapped in paper on his desk. Later, after discovering that it had belonged to his best friend, he decided to leave the yakuza and cut ties with the criminal underworld.^[1]

In the early 1980s, Ishi went to the movies with his girlfriend and saw the film Wild Style, the first hip hop motion picture directed by Charlie Ahearn. He was inspired to become a hip hop musician, and made the firm decision to become a DJ. The day after seeing this movie, he headed to instrument shops looking for equipment. At this time the term "mixer" was unknown to most of Tokyo's electronic store salesmen. After a hard time buying the things he needed, Ishi started his career as one of the first hip hop artists in Japan.

Aside from being considered one of the pioneers of Japanese hip hop,^[2] Ishi has established himself as one of the most respected artists and producers in the hip hop industry, both in Japan and abroad. Upon entering the industry, Ishi, with his experimental beats and instrumental sounds, changed the face of hip-hop at a time when it was dominated by the American rap scene.^[3] He is reluctant to identify his music with any particular genre, for it would place limits on his listeners and on his talents. He has been regarded as ambient, trip hop, some combination of the two, and hip hop. DJ Krush prefers to exercise an ideological distance from the genres he is usually grouped into, while maintaining a healthy appreciation for all music forms and styles.^[4] In 1996, DJ Krush contributed to the AIDS benefit album Offbeat: A Red Hot Soundtrip produced by the Red Hot Organization.
