184: Saba

Saba is a young rapper and producer from the West Side of Chicago who has been making a huge impact with his latest album, Bucket List Project. He got his start at open mics around Chicago thrown by Young Chicago Authors and YOUmedia, a scene that also produced talents like Mick Jenkins, Vic Mensa, Noname, and Chance the Rapper.

Saba really came into his own with his 2014 album ComfortZONE, a project that saw him get away from standard brags and boasts and develop a more personal and intimate style. Bucket List Project finds that style fully developed, and people have noticed. Rolling Stone even chose the record as one of its top rap albums of the year.

Концертное видео SABATON

"The Attack Of The Dead Men", новое концертное видео группы SABATON, доступно для просмотра ниже. Эта песня взята со свежего альбома группы «The Great War». Материал был записан в ходе концерта группы в Москве, который состоялся 13 марта. Во время шоу на сцену неожиданно поднялся RADIO TAPOK и исполнил эту песню вместе с группой.

RADIO TAPOK – российский музыкант, получивший известность благодаря исполнению множества рок и метал кавер-версий на русском языке. Музыкант ранее уже выпускал свою кавер-версию «The Attack Of The Dead Men» по-русски.

Басист и мастермайнд SABATON Pär Sundström:

«Наша совместная работа с Radio Tapok - это особая честь для нас. Это очень талантливый музыкант, и его кавер на нашу песню «Attack Of The Dead Men» был принят так тепло, что мы не раздумывая решили пригласить его на сцену, чтобы вместе с нами исполнить эту песню на концертах в Москве и Санкт-Петербурге. А выступление получилось таким хорошим, что у нас не осталось другого выбора, кроме как выпустить нашу совместную работу в виде сингла!»

Песня «The Attack Of The Dead Men» посвящена событиям, связанным с крепостью Осовец во время Первой мировой войны, и знаменитой битве, где немецкие войска применили химическое оружие на основе хлора против российских защитников крепости, у которых не было средств от газовой атаки: они были вынуждены от отчаяния закрывать лица мокрой одеждой. Нападающие не ожидали, что кто-либо в крепости останется в живых, поэтому ответная атака стала абсолютно неожиданной и успешной. Кашляющие кровью защитники с лицами, обмотанными окровавленными тряпками, пошли вперед и обратили противника в бегство – так родилась знаменитая легенда об «атаке мертвецов».

Сейчас сингл доступен на цифровых платформах, а 10 июля 2020 будет выпущено специальное лимитированное издание на 12”-дюймовом виниле «The Attack Of The Dead Men' (Live in Moscow feat. RADIO TAPOK)». Планируется три вида: желто-зеленый винил с «брызгами» (специальное российское издание, подробнее по ссылке), цветной винил, пикчер диск. Все издания выходят ограниченным тиражом 666 шт.

Трек-лист:

Сторона А

'The Attack Of The Dead Men' (Live in Moscow feat. RADIO TAPOK)

Сторона B

Последний на сегодняшний день альбом SABATON «The Great War» был выпущен в 2019 году. Он занял первые места в чартах разных стран, включая Германию, Швейцарию и Швецию. Диск был прекрасно принят как поклонниками, так и критикой. Работа содержит ряд песен, которые стали выдающимися и хитовыми синглами: «Great War», «82nd All The Way», «The Red Baron» и «Fields of Verdun».

Недавно SABATON были вынуждены отложить часть концертов своего тура по России из-за пандемии коронавируса. Сейчас стали известны новые даты, в графике появились новые города.

"Мы успели отыграть девять концертов из 18-ти, пока этот чертов вирус не вынудил нас отменить все остальные. С тех самых пор мы работали днем и ночью, чтобы найти возможность вернуться в Россию и Беларусь и закончить начатое. Тур проходил фантастически до того момента, когда нам пришлось прервать его, и мы с нетерпением ждем своего возвращения" – говорит Pär Sundström.

Новые даты тура SABATON в России:

07.11.2020 Челябинск – Галактика Развлечений

Liberal designers Masaba Gupta and Kallol Datta choose symbols of conservatism


One of the images in Masaba Gupta’s Insta-only campaign features model TJ Banu in a chiffon saree, the pallu draped around her head like a hijab

In a world divided by political agendas and religious regulation, women's clothing is defined through moral dress codes. "Do we have the freedom to wear whatever we want, when there are no dress codes for men?" asks young Mumbai designer Masaba Gupta, through her "Can't" series of T-shirts and caps launched as part of Tiger Lily, Spring/Summer 2018 line. One of the images in her Insta-only campaign is of model TJ Banu in a chiffon saree, the pallu draped around her head like a hijab (left in pic).


Kallol Datta introduced a range of hijabs, as part of his runway collection in 2015, with pattern cutting experiments of 3D inserts, embellished in tassels and foil print

In January 2016, Dolce & Gabbana released a "modest-wear" range, joining the likes of Oscar de la Renta and Tommy Hilfiger. H&M released a first advert featuring a Muslim woman in a hijab in 2015, and House of Fraser now stocks athleisure hijabs, designed for Muslim women to wear while exercising and swimming. But the rebellious interpretation of a conservative style has seen both criticism and cheer. Veteran designer James Ferreira welcomes the newfound reverence. "We've endured the West's interpretation of fashion for far too long... open any magazine, and there are tits all over," he says. Ferreira first designed and retailed a range of hijabs with badla work (intricate Indian embroidery in metal thread) as long as 30 years ago.

Kolkata-based Kallol Datta's emancipated designs occupy a middle ground between the genders. That he is inspired by the Islamic style of cloaking is a result of having spent his early years in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Kuwait. He began designing abayas and kaftans in 2008, and called his version "sleeping bags". It's only as recently as 2015 (right in pic), when he introduced a range of hijabs with pattern cutting experiments of 3D inserts, embellished in tassels and foil print, and sold them at stores in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.


Masaba Gupta

"It's a cool move," Ferreira says of Gupta and Datta's new designs. "Masaba and Kallol are mending broken ties between communities; it's like what the beard did post 9/11. At a time when the world began associating the beard with a political event, men from across cultures and countries embraced the beard. Solidarity is always heartening," feels Ferreira.


Kallol Datta

How do you explain using femininity as a tool of empowerment or rebellion?
Masaba Gupta: We create clothes on steroids, what we call churning out "maal". While Tiger Lily, our S/S 2018 collection, has a lot of new prints, the colour palette of knockout pinks and bottle greens stays true to my brand's aesthetic. It's an elevated, easy-to-wear collection inspired by the modern-day woman. So it's online campaigns that allow me a creative release, a platform to have an opinion. I was empowered rather than fearful when shooting the campaign. There's always the fear of being trolled on social media, but then that happens anyway.

Kallol Datta: It's not so much about being rebellious as it is about asking, how do you shroud yourself in fabric? As a designer, I pay attention to the fabric's form rather than the human form, hence layering and shaping remain at the core of my designs. It's also a familiar space [hijab] since I spent most of my early life in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Bahrain.

Why pick a symbol of conservatism?
Masaba Gupta: The starting point of the idea was to talk about our best-seller sarees. And the saree has been constantly debated... in relation to how it should be worn by a specific type of woman to why the youth are apprehensive about embracing it. That's why the decision to showcase the saree worn by real women, as opposed to models, in the campaign shoot. Middle Eastern women think that a saree is intrinsically Indian, hence the idea of styling this drape like a hijab.

Kallol Datta: I enjoy working with native wear clothing in a template form to realise silhouettes, which keep changing as layers are added or subtracted. The chador, manteau, abaya, kaftan or hijab become great building blocks for me to work with. At the same time, clothes-making for me is rooted in anthropology.

When a politically engaging idea occurs to you, how long before you wonder if controversy will follow?
Masaba Gupta: I don't want to unnecessarily stir up a controversy, and have people protesting outside my home. My brand's business head doesn't always agree with my social media posts (laughs). But I also believe that there's a difference between being brave, creative and downright foolish. That's why I put a caption to the image: 'This is celebratory and not a gimmick. I want women to wear a saree the way they feel best, in keeping with their traditions and their comfort. Most importantly, for them to not justify, why they chose to wear it the way they do'.

Kallol Datta: It never crosses my mind. I've been mindful about not using symbols, or portraying national icons in my designs.

How does fashion become political?
Masaba Gupta: I find fashion a departure from controversy or politics. After India, my biggest business comes from Dubai and Kuwait. My job as a designer is done when my clothes inspire freedom in Muslim women to adopt fashion the way they desire.

Kallol Datta: When Eastern concepts move to the West, they often get lost in translation. A woman wearing a hijab, a man in a kaftan - they become visible markers of their communities. The lack of representation [of these markers] in editorials and fashion journalism means that you're telling them, 'we choose not to see you'. Although Indian designers cater to Islamic countries, it's rare to see indigenous cultural markers in their clothes. Indian designers haven't moved beyond lehengas and sarees; it's their bread and butter. They are ignoring a thriving demographic. It's heartening to see 'modest fashion' come into its own.

Irrfan Khan's Hindi Medium co-star Saba Qamar: I really am at a loss for words

Pakistani actor Saba Qamar, who starred opposite Irrfan Khan in 2017's "Hindi Medium", said she is at loss of words with the untimely demise of her co-star. The 53-year-old actor lost his battle with a rare form of cancer and died in a Mumbai hospital on Wednesday.

He was buried at the Versova graveyard in the afternoon. Saba said she does hope things were better between India and Pakistan as she wants to meet Irrfan's wife Sutapa and their two sons Babil and Ayaan. "I'm numb today. I still cannot accept the loss of a brilliant co-actor Irrfan. I really am at a loss for words. It's very heart wrenching for me to say rest in peace Irrfan. "I really hope things were better between our countries and I could go see his family but my heartfelt condolences to his family," Saba told PTI.

She said Irrfan's death is a huge loss to world cinema. "We lost a gem today. It's a huge loss to the cinema world and I hope we become able to bear that," she said. "Hindi Medium"', directed by Saket Chaudhary, marked Saba's debut in Bollywood. She received critical acclaim for her portrayal of a nouveau riche in the 2017 comedy drama. The actor had also paid tribute to Irrfan on Twitter. "Deeply disturbed to hear about the passing of Irrfan Khan. It feels like yesterday coming back from the sets of 'Hindi Medium'. You taught me a lot as an actor and a mentor. Such a brilliant actor gone too soon. I'm at a loss for words. RIP Raj Yours Only, Meeta #IrrfanKhan" she had posted.

Meanwhile, many other actors from Pakistan have also condoled Irrfan's sudden demise. Pakistani actor Imran? Abbas, who was seen in a cameo appearance in Karan Johar's "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil:, said art has no boundaries and he can feel the pain of his sudden demise. "Rest in peace the legend Irfan Khan!! You will surely be missed forever¿Since art has no boundaries, we can feel the pain and are equally grieved by your sudden demise...May Allah bless the departed soul. Undoubtedly, we all belong to Allah all mighty and have to return to HIM," he tweeted. Pakistani singer and actor Ali Zafar, who has acted in quite a few Bollywood films such as "Tere Bin Laden", "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" and "Dear Zindagi", posted, "RIP #IrrfanKhan. You were inspirational and unparalleled." Pakistani actor Sajal Ali wrote, "Shocked and sad. What a brilliant actor he was! Rest In Peace #IrrfanKhan."
