OOJAMI
Mi nuevo descubrimiento
Oojami is the brainchild of Necmi Cavli, originally a native of Bodrum - a popular Turkish holiday resort nestling on the banks of Aegean Sea. He moved to London in the nineties and started DJ'ing his own music in a small basement club in the Turkish quarter of North London. At the time nobody, including himself, predicted the exciting journey that he has was about to undertake. Over the last 6 years Oojami has produced 3 albums (internationally released on Miles Copland's (ex-manager of Sting and the Police) label), played hundreds of gigs in over 15 countries, including a tour of the US/Canada, and featured on more than 30 compilations around the world. Recently he's begun writing soundtracks for major Hollywood movies, and his music has been licensed to EMI Arabia - the biggest label in the Middle East.
El éxito del Album de Oojami "Bellydance Breakbeats", le hizo afianzarse en este estilo de baile, especialmente en Estados Unidos. Ha contribuido a un nuevo estilo para las bailarinas de danza oriental, como por ejemplo a las Bellydance Superstars.
Calvi always wanted to write songs that weren't just fashionable, or faceless, pieces of background music. "Even though some of them work, at least commercially, I find it difficult to relate to that approach. If it is not evolving from and reflecting my personal experience, then I am not learning and growing as an artist."
"La música de Oojami es un estilo groove, moderno, pero me gusta utilizar partes melódicas para hacerla diferente"- nos cuenta. "Aunque el elemento principal es el Turco - porque es con lo que estoy más familiarizado - pretendo ser más global. Un grupo abierto pero con influencias turcas, en vez de ser un grupo "turco" o "anglo-turco". De todas formas no es facil identificar qué es música turca. Es realmente dificil decir cuales son sus orígenes, si de Oriente Medio, norte de África. Por ejemplo, la mayoría de las canciones más famosas en Turquía son de orígen árabe."
