On his debut Soundway Records release, Story distils his diverse background in soul, funk, jazz and folk idioms into his own unique and worldly voice. Borrowing from Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia, and Kenya, this collection of East African-influenced music is a testament to Story’s decades of dedication to artistic excellence.

“Wondem is a unique collection of songs inspired by my passion for and immersion into African music and culture over my career” says Story. “This body of work came about as I began to compose and arrange for Todd Simon’s Ethio Cali, an emerging ethio-jazz ensemble in Los Angeles. Wondem means brother in Amharic and I felt a strong brotherly connection to Ethiopia during the process.”

‘Wondem’ was written and recorded in Story’s personal studio in downtown Los Angeles and one of his closest associates, producer, composer and musician, Carlos Niño co-produced the record. It was mixed at Niño’s home studio.

In addition Story worked with an array of collaborators on the record. Renowned multi-instrumentalist Miguel Atwood-Ferguson featured on the percussive track ‘Mowa’ and international producer and artist Mark de Clive-Lowe plays piano and synthesizer on a number of songs, in particular on ‘Yene Konjo’, where his acoustic piano playing there was originally inside of the main section of the song but Story felt it was so beautiful that he moved it to its own highlighted place.

Story also worked with Alsarah Elgadi and Yared Teshale on ‘Wondem’: “I felt that the record needed indigenous language on it and Yared delivered the beautiful ‘Sidet Eskemeche’, which means “we will remember” or “it will never be forgotten”. Alsarah sung in beautiful Arabic for ‘Without An Address’, which addresses the refugee concerns in her native Sudan.”

Outside of ‘Wondem’ Story has used his many talents in a supportive role serving a who’s who of iconic artists throughout his career. From tenures as Snoop Dogg’s product manager and Meshell Ndegeocello’s day-to-day representative to performing with post-millennial luminaries like Dwight Trible, Quadron, Sa-Ra Creative Partners and Gaslamp Killer, Los Angeles-based Story has a proven track record of lending the assist to established and emerging artistry.

izštekanih 10, JURE LONGYKA, kino šiška, val202

Tudi letos bodo 8. decembra 2015 ob 20h v ljubljanskem Kinu Šiška nastopili vsi izvajalci, ki so med letom gostovali v oddaji IZŠTEKANI na Valu 202. Pridružili se jim bodo posebni gostje MI2. V domala festivalskem večeru, ki je vselej tudi prijetno druženje glasbenikov in občinstva ter priložnost za dobro zabavo, bodo postregli z najboljšim, kar so pripravili za Izštekane. Mnogi pa bodo šli še dlje! Skoraj polovica jih bo nastopila z godalnim kvartetom, ki ga sestavljajo člani SIMBOLIČNEGA ORKESTRA, skladbe bodo aranžirane posebej za to priložnost. Predvsem raperji pa pripravljajo popolne novitete! MURAT & JOSE bosta prvič izvedla novo skladbo, ki bo izšla ob koncu leta. SMAAL TOKK pa bo prav na ta dan izdal – in seveda v Kinu Šiška tudi izvedel – novi singel.

Organizatorji napovedujejo, da se bo koncert začel točno ob 20h.

Gotovo še pomnite, da so Valovci soroden koncert Izštekanih 20 pripravili že decembra 2013 ob dvajsetletnici oddaje. Plejadi velikih izštekanih imen so se takrat pridružili člani Simfoničnega orkestra RTV Slovenija. Ker je bilo imenitno in dvorana nabito polna, so lani nadaljevali s sorodnim konceptom, ki so ga naslovili Izštekanih 10. Med letom namreč v studiu Vala 202 uprizorijo deset izštekanih oddaj in čudovito jih je bilo predstaviti vse hkrati, na prazničen način, pred občinstvom. Za dodatne zvočne presežke je lani poskrbel Big Band RTV Slovenija. In tudi letos je več kot deset dobrih razlogov za vnovično izštekano druženje na odru in pod njim!
