Bio
SPACEWALK an international band, changing in time staying faithfully real!
Spacewalk moves to different countries and continents... to implement the project "Transculturation", where music and ideas of one culture (or mix of culture) influences and become incorporated into the music and ideas of another culture...Transculturation is musical expression of Spacewalk's anthropological research!
Spacewalk is produced by "roadmusic productions ". Founded by Marco Romano between Scotland and Switzerland in 1997; based in Italy, Switzerand, Ghana and since 2008 Bamako, Mali / Westafrika .
The Story of Spacewalk began in Switzerland 1997 with the release of the first album "Figure it out":
From a dirty bass line to an emotive soul vocal, Spacewalk demonstrate a nice line in catchy funk with a disciplenesque twist. Sun (Happy Birthday Chuck) goes to prove that these guys are not merely one trick ponies as they verge towards a poppier territory. Spacewalk have a really 'up' vibe and would definitely benefit from some top-notch production.
2000/2001 Spacewalk evolved on the road to Scotland / Glasgow to a harder rock style... follow the story on the second Spacewalk Album "Salmon Crackhead"! The Scottish mystic culture with his great Music and Musicians catapulted Spacewalk in a project which was called "GlasgoTogo". The Idea to drive from Glasgow to Togo by road and reloading the travel by music and rhythms was getting real in the following years...
From the year 2002 till 2008 SPACEWALK is developping the anthropological World music project "Transculturation" , which can be heard in the following productions on the road to Westafrica "Malibalebow" and "United Spacewalk Arrows".
In 2009 SPACEWALK will be releasing The 5th Album "Evolutionroad". Different Artists from CUBA, MALI, BURKINA FASO and EUROPE coming together on this Album to give some results and explanations to the "Transculturation-Process" in the world society through the universal language "Music".
Transculturation and cross-cultural development is a phenomenum which is happening now and is influencing everybody on the whole planet. It will evolve in the future with enhancing velocity:
People, Cultures and Traditions will come and melt together...it can be good or bad. It only depends on ourself and unfortunately also by the world-leaders...are they able to give the right directions...new adapted goals. Are they able to stop this old economical system (which doesn't work anymore) and create a new one. Are we able to share and love?!
