Embee+Esmeralda+Embee’s Dad

Posted on

On November 10th I’m utmostly proud to present the release of the album Skuggpoeten. A constellation consisting of my dad, writer Roger Bergkvist and singer/componist Esmeralda Moberg.

It’s been  over two years since I got a mail from Esmeralda inquiring me for a collaboration with her as folk singer. I sent one of my dad’s poems from his book “Dikter från världens mitt med omnejd” and got a quick response in the shape of a noisy Garage Band MP3-demo of the first melody sketch of Stilla Landskap. I started writing music for the acapella the same night. And the result blew us away. Ten demos later we finally met and started recording sessions in Svenska Grammofonstudion. When we had ten tracks done I finally presented the project to Roger.

The music takes off within traditional swedish folk music’s bittersweet melodyline and blends with big city beats, jazz, soul and electronica. A genre we describe as Urban Folk.

Ge Oss Sverige Tillbaka

Posted on

Nu på söndag den 7e juni är det val till Europaparlamentet 2009.

Timbuktu & Promoe vill att du ska ut och rösta!

Ännu en gång fick vi brev från Sverigedemokraterna. Ge oss Sverige tillbaka säger dom.

Vi tycker inte att Sverigedemokraterna har ensamrätt till Sverige.

Nu vill Timbuktu & Promoe ge er denna låt, “Ge Oss Sverige Tillbaka”, i hopp om att ni alla går ut och röstar.

Promoe:

“Sverigedemokraterna försöker ta patent på vad svenskhet är. Dom gör det på ologiska grunder, och dom kan knappast själva veta vilka och vad som omfattas av deras defintion av svenskhet. Jag, likt många andra, kan inte identifiera oss med den.”

Timbuktu:

“Dagens Sverige består av människor från alla delar av världen människor som kommer från olika kulturella och religiösa bakgrunder. Jag tror att detta berikar Sverige enormt och det är detta Sverige jag är en del av.”

Rösta på vem ni vill. Men inte på Sverigedemokraterna.

Denna låt är gratis. Lägg upp den på din hemsida, din blogg, ditt forum, din Twitter, din Facebook, din MySpace, sprid den till alla du känner. Media får jättegärna lägga upp den på sina hemsidor.

Hjälp oss sprida den till allt och alla!
