SUMMARY:Scarecrow
DESCRIPTION:“Dark\, explosive and strangely coherent…Blues-Hiphop [may be the] protest music of the 21st century…” \n“…a fusion of genres which include a mix of lyrics delivered in French as well as English…” – myrandomjukebox.com \nScarecrow proposes an unlikely and extraordinary fusion – where Blues and Hip Hop are one. Groove is king – thorned from a dobro or scratched from old vinyl…. from working songs born in American cotton fields of the early 20th century\, to the urban sounds of big cities in the 1980s.  \nLeaded by the scarecrow\, who represents them\, they give an original tribute to the foundating movements in playing with the musical codes\, bringing back the blues to the harrassing sun\, and hip hop to its instrumental’s roots. On stage\, Slim Paul -the bluesman- and Antibiotik Daw -MC ‘n DJ- settle generations in a dangerous exercise: melt two languages\, two cultures and two instruments that nothing attract\, followed by the unbelievable groove of the bass/drums Jamo and le Pap’s. With its unique composition style and about 400 amazing shows in 10 countries\, the four guys from Toulouse continue to defend loud and clear the banner Blues Hip Hop!\nThis hard-touring French quartet have become one of France’s hardest working bands with over 500 gigs in 15 countries. \nIn 2011 they released the EP ‘This is Blues Hip Hop’ which then saw the impressive follow up album ‘Devil & Crossroads’ in 2013. Then in 2014 they released they released the songs ‘The Well’ and ‘Lonely Hope Blues’. What these releases give is a fusion of genres which include a mix of lyrics delivered in French as well as English. For me this gives the listener something refreshingly original. \nVocally\, Slim Paul gives us the old school blues (in English) which has this irresistible soul about it while Antibiotik Daw gives us the modern day sound with his French rap skills. This blend of different languages offers something different and even though I do not understand what Antibiotik is rapping (due to my poor French speaking/listening skills) his lyrical flow is infectious. The song ‘All Now’ is a great example of this bilingual talent that is crazy good with its foot stomping energy and killer blues riffs. Antibiotik adds more hip hop to the band with his awesome scratching techniques on the decks. Let’s not forget the cool groove from Jamo on the bass\, the infectious beats from Le Pap’s on the drums and you get this killer sound of Scarecrow. \n“Boy”:Live:\nhttps://youtu.be/JX-VM50YIAc \n“All\, Now”/Album “Devil & Crossroads”:\nhttps://youtu.be/-co9IfGNDjA \nWoodstock/Poland:\nhttps://youtu.be/iSBVbRerda4 \n
