Flamingods - Rhama
1351 votes
The concept for the Rhama music video revolves around a mysterious society of Pakistani wrestlers that are present in Dubai. Dedicating their lives to a traditional form of wrestling called Kushti, their matches take place every Friday during sunset in a sandy lot of land in old Dubai. Over the past few months we have attended these matches, and got to know the wrestlers with the help of our Urdu translator. In making this video, the Barbu TV guys were invited to live in their rural Al Ain apartment for a few days. The video shows the culture surrounding the wrestling, and the symbolism and ritual behind it; as well as flashes of everyday Pakistani life in the UAE – perhaps a surprising visual given the country’s notoriety for being a glossy metropolis.

COLECTIVA and Maria Grapsa present: Under The
The debut single from COLECTIVA 'Under The', out now on Movimientos. Tormented melodies, jagged horn hits, and a rhythm section bristling with energy open the song, evoking sounds of struggle. Harmonies stack, as the musicians reach a triumphant yet vulnerable precipice. The arrival of a montuno transports them towards a utopia, and launching into a timba-inflected breakdown, COLECTIVA take us home, above the trees, within the earth, where we are one, the big cats chasing snakes while deer run free. Their first single, Under The came to life when jazz pianist Maria Grapsa brought an early arrangement of the tune to the collective. Working together over a series of collaborative sessions typical of their creative process, they crafted the song you hear today. COLECTIVA is: Trombone: Viva Msimang Trumpet: Deanna Wilhelm Trumpet: Poppy Daniels Flute: Sarah Wackett Violin: Nadine Nagen Keys: Luisa Santiago Bass: Alley Lloyd Percussion: Lilli Elina Drums: Lya Reis Guerrero Label: Movimientos London Recording + Mixing: Giles Barrett at Soup Studios Mastering: Juan Carlos Arévalo Live Action Director: Natalja Safronova Animation Director: Balbina Bochuzynska Art Direction / Set Design: Juliana Caviedes Art Department Assistant: Christine Cave
