2nd act:
BUSHWAC:(Steve Buchanan and Paed Conca)
Bushwac is the present manifestation of 28 year collaboration between Paed Conca and Steve Buchanan. In August 2007, they were able to record a long overdue cd, “The Road That White Men
Tread“. An intriguing mix of breakbeat, microtonal reeds and expressive text. The music of the cd delivers a clear message, both, aesthetically and politically. As well the music is quite representative
of the myriad influences which have inspired them. An important component is the use of dance as an integral part of the groups concept and sound. This happens via the dance instrument 2ND LINE, created by Steve Buchanan. Another important part of the groups music is the strong wish to avoid the cliche statis and ghettoizing tendency of much contemporary and improvised music. The cd is a fine use of many diverse elements, influences and genres which form an intelligent and cohesive whole. Round two from 2010 was „Fight! And if you can‘t fight, kick! If you can‘t kick, bite!“.
The tracks from this release musically linked to the first album, but they had a more minimal and direct concept. Continuing with the use, or let‘s say abuse, of literary and political texts, they create
a special and unique dance music. The musical and political citation bring them close to the original ideas of hip-hop, but in a more noisy and strange way.
