A Different Drummer, Part 1: Mark Lomax II and Mauricio Takara
by Karl Ackermann
The drum is an instrument of power and presence. It is the heartbeat of music but with uncertain origins. In Africa, China, and Turkey, archeologists have found evidence to suggest that any of those regions may have been the forebearers of the beat, of the definitive expression of freedom. Data concludes that instrumental music is at ...
São Paulo Underground: Cantos Invisíveis
by Karl Ackermann
In the spring of 2015 Rob Mazurek's São Paulo Underground expanded their touring formation and added “Black Cube SP" to their name for a tour that briefly made stops in the U.S. The enlarged group featured the addition of Thomas Rohrer on rabeca, a Brazilian viola.

Sao Paulo Underground: Cantos Invisíveis
by Troy Collins
Democratically led by Chicago-based sound explorer Rob Mazurek, São Paulo Underground has been defying genre conventions and musical boundaries for almost a decade. Originally formed with percussionist Mauricio Takara and keyboardist Guilherme Granado during Mazurek's sojourn in Brazil (2000-2005), the ensemble's membership has undergone a subtle change on its fifth album with the addition of Swiss-born ...
Sao Paulo Underground: Cantos Invisíveis
by Mark Sullivan
Cantos Invisíveis translates from Portuguese as “invisible corners/songs" or “disappearing corners/songs:" a fitting title for trans-national music that often seems to come from everywhere at once. The international trio's electro-acoustic sound blends music from North and South America, Africa and Asia, including stylistic references from traditional folk, modern jazz, rock and electronica. It's a dense, communal ...
Sao Paulo Underground: Cantos Invisiveis
by Vincenzo Roggero
Suoni da galassie lontane, scie cosmiche che trasportano in altri mondi, sfrigolii di elettroni che invadono lo spazio fisico, riti sciamanici e nenie incantatorie, suggestioni tribali e distorsioni industriali. Una giungla intricata di sonorità acustiche ed elettroniche nella quale scrittura e improvvisazione sfumano i contorni per trasformarsi in visione. È il nuovo mondo creato da Rob ...
Rob Mazurek and Black Cube Sp al Torrione di Ferrara
by Luca Canini
Bologna Jazz Festival Torrione Jazz Club Ferrara 20.11.2015 Fissiamo una data: gennaio 2007. Non che Rob Mazurek fino ad allora si fosse risparmiato in quanto a dischi e collaborazioni (soprattutto sul fronte Chicago Underground), ma è innegabile che il debutto su Thrill Jockey dell'Exploding Star Orchestra, We Are ...
Rob Mazurek and Black Cube SP: Return the Tides: Ascension Suite and Holy Ghost
by Enrico Bettinello
La forte sincerità che si percepisce nella musica di Rob Mazurek (caratteristica che immagino anche chi non ama troppo il cornettista chicagoano faticherà a negargli) è qualcosa che va a volte oltre l'intenzione. È il caso ad esempio del flusso emozionale, catartico, densissimo, di Return the Tides: Ascension Suite and Holy Ghost, disco che ...
