Casagemas - Tracking The Feathered Snake (2021)

"In 1982, New York trumpeter Jon Hassell released his innovative and unprecedented album “Fourth World Vol.1: Possible Musics,” giving form to a concept that he’d been working for more than a decade prior. In the words of the artist himself, in the past Fourth World is a musical aesthetic that unified primitive/futuristic sound combining features of world ethnic styles with advanced electronic techniques. Throughout the years it went far beyond, outgrowing its role as a mere musicality. Its mood is comprised by subtle exoticism, psycho-geography, eroticism, mystery and hazy surrealism".

Mexico may be the country that is commonly known to the world for its colourful culture and a desert landscape with flora used to produce unique beverages. Yet a far richer and authentic strata of history dwells in the heritage of its ancient times – especially of the great Tenochtitlan – which has left an everlasting impact on one of the largest and most crowded cities in the world, the capital of Mexico. Moreover, few know about Mexico’s 20th century vanguardist music catalogue.
