MUTEK 2024 | Glowzicombo, The Start of An Exciting Adventure

by Alain Brunet

Producer G L O W Z I, trumpeter Chudyanna Bazile and bassist Amaëlle Beuze make up Glowzicombo. This, we observed on Friday at the SAT, is yet another remarkable emergence of Montreal Afro culture in the summer of 2024, beyond the brilliant recruits Club Sagacité and Moonshine whose inspiration we savored in July.

Multidisciplinary, the soon-to-be-famous G L O W Z I repurposes sound and visual archives, creating a universe where the progressive values of black feminism and feminine creation are unabashedly asserted in the immersive environment they’ve created for the Nocturne 4 night owls.

A sensual flow of neo-soul, hip-hop, ambient, dub, house, jazz, konpa, zouk, afrobeats and amapiano vibes. These grooves are the basis of a trio performance, with bass and trumpet as organic complements to these electronic proposals. Selected images, aesthetic and ethical questions and reflections are projected on the walls. By the way!

The instrumental execution is rather perfunctory, the trumpet having to stick to simple lines given the performer’s intermediate level, while the electric bass applies itself to reinforcing the groove developed by Glowzi. But the performers’ limitations don’t hold them back, and the strength of the ideas and emotions they convey outweigh these technical considerations in this case. Super vibe!

These young women are bright, inspired and brilliant, and they’re still in the early stages of a project that could make a real impact. If, of course, we make every effort to bring it to full maturity over the coming years.
