Why another record label?

 

 

My name is Marco Billi in jarguna art, perhaps some of you know me, I have been producing music for more than 25 years, experimenting and sculpting sounds especially with electronic instruments, but also searching during all my travels for ancient sounds, tribal, rituals, or simple field recording.
In this project the path is to bring to light the most ancestral sounds, remote in the history of the human being, pass me the term, primitive, that primitive that binds man to the earth, a deep rooting made of respect for the land in which we live. In fact, the name Mogoya soo comes from an ancient West African language, Dioula, a branch of Mandingo or Mandinka which means “The home of human beings”.
Why exactly the Dioula? because I’ve been working in Burkina Faso since 2006 and it’s thanks to this country that I want to start my project, where I met many artists and recorded several tracks.
In a world that is developing a lot at a technological level, often sterile, slaves of ourselves, my message is to listen to simplicity, the voices of not always confirmed artists but their purity evoke within us the vague memory of a freedom that we dare without understanding its foundations.
Peoples who live adrift in the eyes of Westerners, and instead are the few humans left free in this world chained and enchanted by our own vices and conditionings.
I want to give a voice to these people, simple instruments, not always perfectly tuned, on the contrary, we must remember that music all over the world has not developed in the same way, in a chromatic scale made up of 12 notes (intervals) tuned to 440 Hz or 432, but some cultures or civilizations have structured their sound imprint inspired by the sounds of nature, as all pre-Columbian civilizations did, or the overtone chants and hypnotic percussions of Tuva, some Indian practices use octaves with 22 intervals.
Furthermore, the contexts of music are not always just entertainment but often rituals, evocative (prayers and meditation), funerals.
Since I’ve been traveling and recording for almost 30 years, I’ve accumulated a decent sound archive that I’m now going to give them a new life with small releases.
