Kinah Hamilton and The True Believers - M.T.A.G. vol. II (AG 001.1)

Kinah Hamilton and the True Believers marks the second narrative proposed by Autogenesis, midway between label and publisher. Hailing from Brazil, if the group is somewhat mysterious about their identities (who is Kinah actually? one wonders), they are nothing but open and generous about their research on rhythms and sonorities. Idealized and produced by Bruno Abdala, Kinah displays an inquisitive use of sampling and demonstrates acute historical awareness. By twisting borders and pushing the very notion of collectivity to its limits, the group reconceives the very idea of nation, accusing the failure of borders, both institutional and imaginary ones, to entirely grasp the human.

This time not the regular magazine, but still our stubbornness to contextualize culturally relevant music and to align it with extra-musical universes, that nonetheless coordinate the force and urgency of the artists.

J. Pattio writes about the potential of liminal states such as trance and frenzy and the role of music and the collective therein. His text also contemplates how performances from oppressed margins make use of a transcript of protest and resistance, one that cannot be properly read by outsiders, who in turn rush to stereotype and categorize it as an easy and recognizable other.

Anwar D. Uhuru's text focuses on a more mainstream music release, without losing in analysis and method. His text examines strategies used in order to convey essential elements of African mythology into a Westernised discourse, it goes into the negotiations implicit in such movement.
