JOSE MARQUEZ
MALI BLUES
TRIBE129

Los Angeles DJ/Producer Jose Marquez’s sound is a result of being brought up around Afro-Latin, Caribbean and other World Music at a young age. Always intrigued by electronic sounds as well, Jose's mission has been to fuse his love of global rhythms with the dance floor. Jose indeed succeeded when he burst onto the scene in 2010 with memorable remixes & edits of artists such as Celia Cruz, Nina Simone, Oumou Sangare and many others.

In less than two years time, Jose was blessed with the opportunity to introduce his sound to the world by remixing for renowned Housemusic labels such as Tribe Records, Djoon Experience, Vega Records, Yoruba Records, Wonderwheel Recording and most recently, the iconic New York City label from the late 60s-70s responsible for the birth of Salsa music, Fania Records!
Since then, he continues to travel the globe uniting nations on the dance floor with his signature sound having performed at major events in cities such as Paris, Athens, Toronto, Los Angeles, NYC, Melbourne, Nairobi, Morocco, Singapore, Shanghai, Peru and Cuba. Mali Blues is not only the title of the track, but is a specific genre from this musically rich and diverse region of West Africa. Mali is credited with giving birth to American Blues, a vocal and rhythmic instrumental musical form of cultural struggle, work and love songs derived from the African-American population in the southern states. The roots of Blues can be traced back to the traditional rhythms and oral music of the
people of Mali.

The idea for Mali Blues was conceived in Paris when Tribe head honcho Zepherin Saint connected musicians from Mali and Jose Marquez who was
in town, and decided to capture their talents in the studio. Zepherin knew this would be a good fit as Jose Marquez is known for working with various styles of traditional African and Latin music and producing heavy percussive driven dance tracks that
speak to today's clubs.

Included here are the vocal track and also the instrumental.
