That\u2019s a stage that\u2019ll turn up the heat. Remaining seated will be a challenge for the spectators in the hall, taunted by the roaring bass of the duo&#8217;s flagship title, \u201cWasa Bibi\u201d, and by the solar energy of the two companions, accompanied by VJ Danica Olders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Longtime friends Boogieman and Samito hadn&#8217;t planned to work together. Things happened naturally. The former brings energetic analog compositions, the latter, lyrics sung in Portuguese, the official language of his native Mozambique. A unique blend, explained in detail during a videoconference meeting (a first for all three of us).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360: <\/strong>&#8220;Kussom&#8221; is the name you give to the musical genre you\u2019ve created, can you tell me more about its meaning?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Samito:<\/strong> Basically, it&#8217;s a mix of genres of music and the word <em>som<\/em>, which is \u201csound\u201d in Portuguese. What happened was that when we started working on the second song with James [Benjamin, aka Boogieman], I realized that some of the beats he had created made me think about batida<em>,<\/em> which is a sound from Angola. It then became closer to kuduro, and so the first syllable was the <em>ku<\/em> and then I put <em>som<\/em> after it, which is a ku-som, so meaning the \u201csound of the ku\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Boogieman: <\/strong>Calling it a name gives us the possibility of having a grasp on what we\u2019re doing, which is to create a new sound. Exploring something new in a world such as music where there&#8217;s so much thought given to the analytical aspect of music and where you fit, what it is, what genres are combined\u2026 I found it harder to classify, especially with us working together, so by classifying ourselves we can kind of preempt a little bit of that conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Boogieman &amp; SAMITO - Wasa Bibi (Official Lyric Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-qLsKhMgFIg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360: <\/strong>There are also Japanese cultural elements in your \u201cWasa Bibi\u201d video, are there other important influences that feed into the project?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Samito:<\/strong> The breeding ground of all sound is Montreal. When we worked on that video \u2013 actually <em>we<\/em> didn&#8217;t do it, it was a 17-year-old who\u2019s now 18 \u2013 we wanted to open the platform for him to create and explore different directions, just as we were. His generation compared to mine is more into Japanese anime, and he wanted to go there. I think we live in a city where we can experiment with many things and there are many growing influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360: <\/strong>You are not just creative collaborators but close friends, how do you work together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Boogieman and Samito: <\/strong>Really, there&#8217;s no process. We spend a lot of time together. When we\u2019re at the studio and we start playing something, if we find it interesting, we jump into it, and then suddenly it starts gaining life. It\u2019s more a jam in the process. If we can talk about \u201cWasa Bibi\u201d, it was really joking around, like singing Danica Olders\u2019 artist name, \u201cWasa Bibi, Wasa Bibi\u201d&#8230; and it made it all the way to the final thing, we weren&#8217;t really able to replace it. You can&#8217;t fake that kind of feeling or recreate it, it\u2019s spontaneous and authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/samito-mutek-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27911\"\/><figcaption><em>Samito<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360: <\/strong>Samito, you\u2019re a musician trained in music school. Boogieman, your learning comes from outside the institutions. How did you manage to combine your approaches?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Samito:<\/strong> I think for me, it was very easy because if you look at things that I did before, I&#8217;ve always been more interested in exploring certain possibilities of sounds, or getting a different rhythm from somewhere else, and then put it in a context that is completely opposite, to see what comes out. I think the first time when Boogieman called me, he was like, \u201cI have this modular synth, I want you to come see it.\u201d I went to his place, I was like, \u201cI think there&#8217;s so much that can happen if we open our minds and just dive into it&nbsp;.\u201d And we did.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360:<\/strong> Your visual signature is as colourful as your music, it \u2019s the result of a collaboration with Danica Olders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Boogieman: <\/strong>The whole visual aesthetic of Boogieman is pretty deeply ingrained in collaboration with Danica; her vision, her aesthetics often go against the grain. I think the sound of the project is so open that it actually allows place for someone who can take it even further. She&#8217;s really a multidisciplinary artist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/boogieman-mutek.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27907\"\/><figcaption><em>Boogieman<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360: <\/strong>How\u2019s this visual dimension going to be expressed during your performance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Boogieman:<\/strong> We have the intention of taking people on a bit of a trip! Like the fact that you might see nothing at times\u2026 Not to give away too much, but it is just as impactful as all those things you see. I think that&#8217;s cool because it leaves room for the sound to be experienced, and then at times, the sound can be very minimal and the visuals can take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360: <\/strong>You\u2019re performing dance music, music for the body, how do you feel about playing in front of a very small, seated crowd?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Samito:<\/strong> I don&#8217;t know, what I&#8217;m telling myself is, whatever\u2019s going to happen is a challenge in a new way of making music. I don&#8217;t know if jumping around and dancing for me will make sense, I don&#8217;t know how people are going to react. It&#8217;s almost like we have to re-learn how to play a show, and also learn how people will fit in.
