A special hour on Editions Syliphone Conakry, the Guinean state-funded record label that ran from 1967 to 1986, across the tenure of President Sékou Touré. The purpose of the label was to support and promote Guinean traditional and national music, at home and abroad. Since its independence from France in 1958, Guinea's artists had been radicalised by an official cultural policy that sought to modernise the arts while still being faithful to the traditional roots. It was a policy called authenticité, and music was its prime focus. Under the policy each region in Guinea, some 34 in total, were represented by artistic troupes. These consisted of an orchestra, a traditional music ensemble, a choir, and a theatrical group. The government purchased new musical instruments for the orchestras, at a huge cost, and encouraged the groups to write songs about topics such as African nationalism, anti-colonialism, and anti-imperialism. The Syliphone label thus captured a moment in African history when a new nation asserted its voice and placed music at the forefront of its cultural identity. Their’s is a story that is intertwined with the political struggle for independence in Africa.

Clandestine record label, The Trilogy Tapes, tear up the NTS studios once a month, ripping through the grittiest and muddiest tracks. No words on this one, just tunes.

Mauro

Mauro

Mauro has been played on NTS shows including SKYAPNEA, with Spinal-Defense first played on 24 February 2020.

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Mauro is a Belgian musician. Mauro Pawlowski has played in groups like Evil Superstars (with Tim Vanhamel and Dave Schroyen from Millionaire), The Love Substitutes (on drums, with Rudy Trouvé, Craig Ward,..), Mauro & The Grooms and at the moment as guitarplayer with dEUS (with Tom Barman, Klaas Janszoons). Not only his 'guitar-arts' but also his voice brings you in an ecstasy from which it's really hard to be freed. For the record: this Mauro is the right one on the picture.

2) Mauro (born in Kitzingen am Main, Germany) comes from a musical family from Triest. His father Dario – a skilled cook – was an opera singer who presented his artistry even at the famous New York Metropolitan Opera.

Apart from his singing talent, Mauro also inheritated the art of cooking from his father. This was why he trained as a restaurant consultant in several companies; for many years now, Mauro has been managing his own restaurant.

But singing was, and still is, a great passion of Mauro. With the bands „Electric Sun“, „Harley“ and the disco formation „Mauro & Control Competition“ he did small time, took first credits and earned some pocket-money.

The acquaintance with Claus Matthias, the guitar-player from „Relax“ and solo artist who tailored the summer hit to fit Mauro and who – together with the sound talent Ferdinand Förster – also produced his song, was the reason why Mauro summoned up courage to make the decisive step towards a pop singer career.

Several chart hits and many appearances followed.

In the end of 2006, OTRE-MEDIA (Mauro´s present exclusive management in Cologne, Germany) rediscovered Mauro due to the enquiry of a Russian agency for 2 mega-events.

Having done these „magic“ appearances, Mauro realized that this is his comeback. Several CDs with his hits (Europe-wide), one DVD of the Russia events and numerous festivals prove this.

Current situation (as of May 2007): With the modern party version remake of his hit „Buona Sera – Ciao Ciao“ (beginning of April 2007), Mauro seems to have hit the right nerve again, because EMI will be publishing the hit on the double-CD Sampler „Goldstrand Hits 2007“ (d.o.p.: May 18th, 2007).
