groovalizacion dj�s

The Groovalizacion Project:

Multicultural vibes, peripheral music, suburban grooves, nomadic sounds, tribal and regional blends… These are the soundtrack of migrations and cultural fusions, the voices of ethnic groups that stir our cities. A new urban musical shock wave electrifies the turntables of GROOVALIZACION, the high-spirited team of DJs, globe-trotters, producers, video directors; a musical and multimedia network rooted all over the world producing musical events, podcasts, remixes, video documentaries....and who's just given birth to the first global urban radio: www.groovalizacion.com

ARTISTS AVAILABLE_

DJ iZem (DJ sets/Beats/Remixes) – – Dublin, Ireland

DJ, journalist, musician and producer born in France of Celtic and Moroccan origins, his adventures led him to play and live in various music hotspots such as Recife (br), Casablanca (ma), Valencia (es), Paris (fr), Dublin (ie) and Buenos-Aires (ar). An itinerary which brought its share of meetings with various major artists from the global scene: Gilberto Gil, Balkan Beat Box, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Gnawa Diffusion... From the hip-hop of his childhood to Buenos Aires cumbia, Morrocan underground or Afrobrazilian rythms, DJ Izem weaves his musical web: the Groovalizacion.

DJ Cucurucho (DJ sets/radio shows/filmmaker) – – Bamako, Mali

He speaks many languages, all of them badly to tell the truth. He’s still traumatized from having had to ride his sister’s pink bicycle as a child. He supports a football team but not always the same one. He’s not too good at dancing with someone but he’d like to learn. His mum still buys his clothes and underwear. He never forgets to switch off the light when he comes out of the toilets. He prefers dark-haired women even though he always goes out with blondes. He started saving money 2 weeks ago to buy a house on the coast of Senegal. He loves both radio and music. He’s convinced that what’s said to be pure is always the result of a mix.
