JakoJako – ‘Lì xì’, taken from her album Tết 41. Order here: https://mute.ffm.to/jakojako-tet41
‘Lì xì’ – Vietnamese translation: “Lucky money” (usually referring to the red envelopes gifted at Lunar New Year).
The album, recorded in Vietnam during the Tết Lunar New Year celebrations is, in many ways, a distillation of ideas Koçer has been exploring for many years. Tapping into a deep understanding of machine-based music and illuminated by references to her heritage, Tết 41 reflects on notions of rebirth, and the pursuit of a sonic core.
“I wanted to collect the atmospheres of Vietnam, and strip it back to my language – electronic music. I don’t have huge ties to the traditions of my Vietnamese family, so being able to experience them with my mother, and then bring the Lunar Celebration – the colourful flowers, food and customs – back to Europe through music has helped me realise how important this side of my heritage is.” – JakoJako (aka Sibel Koçer)
