More...Legend of the world music scene Baaba Maal released his new album ‘Television’ this summer.
To celebrate the release, Palm Pictures and Giant Step are launching a competition to find a new, fresh remix of the album’s high-energy track ‘International’.
Baaba sees language as an instrument and he searches for different ways to diversify his music- this newest album ‘Television’ is a collaboration with New York’s Brazilian Girls, who helped him blend West African musical traditions with electronic dance music – so the challenge is to keep the spirit of experimentation and fusion alive to create an innovative remix.
The winning entry will be selected by Baaba Maal himself and the remix will be released on his official website.
Other prizes include:
1st Place:
• $300
• 8 week electronic music production course
• Palm Pictures CD/DVD bundle
2nd Place:
• 6 week introductory DJ course
• Palm Pictures CD/DVD bundle
3rd Place:
• An online DJ/Production class of your choice
• Baaba Maal CD and DVD set
So if you’ve got creativity flowing through your veins, and a love of moulding music to make your own, this is it the competition for you.
All remixes should be sent as an MP3 to johan@baabamaal.tv before 12:00 EST on October 22nd 2009. The winner will need to provide Palm Pictures with the aiff/master of the file once selected.
