His averagely-sized parents are astounded, and he may be the heaviest Chinese baby on record. A 15 and a half pound baby boy was born in central China on Saturday, with state media reporting the birth could be breaking a new record for the country's heaviest baby. [Shang Lili, Xinxiang Maternity & Childcare Service Center]: "A normal baby should weigh about six to eight pounds. This baby is twice as heavy as a normal one." The mother and her large son were both in good condition in a local hospital in Xinxiang City, Henan Province. The boy, named Chun Chun, was born just after the start of the Lunar New Year, with the Year of the Dragon considered a particularly auspicious time to have a child. [Han Jingang, Chun Chun's Father]: "My wife was no different from other pregnant women. She ate and drank normally as she should. But she's given birth to such a big, fat son. Today is the first day of spring in the Chinese calendar and he's a 'dragon baby'. I feel very happy." His mother had sensed something special. [Wang Yujuan, Chun Chun's Mother]: "I clearly felt that my body was more clumsy than when I had been pregnant with my daughter. My belly was bigger than it was then. I guessed the baby would be between 10 and 11 pounds. I never expected to hear that he weighs 15 and a half pounds." China's state ...

Lazee - "Beast Mode (Remix)": SXSW 2012 Showcasing Artist
4 time Grammy nominated Lazee from Sweden is about to take the world by storm. He is unique as an artist. With an international class, attitude and widely genre sound makes Lazee different from most urban international artist. Lazee\'s musical style is a mesh of synthpop, electronica, dubstep, R%B, hiphop & dirty drum beats. Tracks are sung and rapped, yrics contain themes of love, heartbreak & introspection. His talent & gentlemanly style have cemented his reputation as a Swedish bastion of sophistication & flair. Mawuli Kulego, aka Lazee, is a hard working young man who's been brought up in the knowledge that nothing comes for free. He was born in 1985 in Scandinavia's southernmost providence, Malmo/Sweden, where he was brought up with his mother and two sisters. In 1998, his mother however decided that Malm%ouml didn't provide the right environment for her son. She therefore sent Lazee to London where he could "become something". Six years later, Lazee moves back to Sweden with the ambition of finishing his first Hip-Hop album. His first Mixtape "It Is What It Is" was hosted by the no 1 Urban Dj KaySlay (NY) and was a huge success. This was also the start of a new collaboration with super producer Ishi. Both of them started working on a new and fresh sound. The sound that they came up with is best described as a hybrid of Hip-Hop, House, Grime and Drum%Bass -- with a dash of R%B. And all this topped with Lazee's lyrical rhymes constantly delivered with high energy. It was ... From: sxsw Views: 164 6 ratings Time: 02:09 More in Entertainment

Big Deal - "Talk": SXSW 2012 Showcasing Artist
Using only two voices and two guitars, Alice Costelloe and Kacey Underwood create music that's unfettered by the constraints of a traditional band. Their sound is gauzy but spartan; his vocal, dusky, hers crystalline, twinned in a spectral haze. From the first song they ever wrote together, the distractedly sweet 'Homework', to the celestial drift of 'Pi' Big Deal's music is unflinchingly honest, powerful in its intimacy and quivering with the intensity of a first crush. They come from two different worlds -- Costelloe from an artistic London household, while Underwood was born into a strict religious family in the desert between Joshua Tree and the Yucca Valley. When Costelloe was 14 she played guitar in her first band; when Underwood was the same age, he found escape in music. Records were his key to freedom from the rules that surrounded him. He immersed himself in Metallica, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Depeche Mode and taught himself to play on a guitar he found under his brother's bed. At 19 after a stint as a guitar tech for surf legend Dick Dale, Underwood swapped California for Cambridge, leaving his old life behind and throwing himself into a Social and Political Science degree. But it was not to be; he left uni, eventually ending up in London fronting the band Little Death. By contrast, Costelloe's fascination with music was kick-started at six-years-old when her grandmother presented her with a guitar. "I still write on it now even though it's tiny". She credits ...

Sorie Kondi - "Thogolobea": SXSW 2012 Showcasing Artist
Sorie Kondi was born in the village of Mangiloko, near the city of Makeni in Sierra Leone, West Africa around the year 1968. His actual birthdate is not certain because there is no official record of his birth. His country ranks as one of the three poorest countries in the world in terms of infant mortality, life expectancy, per capita income, health care, and infrastructure. He never went to school but began to play the kondi, a traditional instrument of Sierra Leone as a teenager. It was apparent early on that he had a special talent for music, and by 1984 he started earning some small money by playing at ceremonies and travelling to nearby villages. Being born blind in such a poor country and never receiving any formal education would seem like enough hardship by itself. But then his life was uprooted in 1996 when civil war forced him to leave his home and seek refuge in Freetown. Despite the ongoing war, he began recording his first album there in 1998, and finished it after 4 months. But on January 6, 1999, the rebels staged a brutal assault on Freetown called Operation No Living Thing. Almost all the city's residents fled to the bush. Sorie was abandoned, forced to hide inside his house for 5 days while much of the city was looted and burned down. When the dust settled, the master tapes had been lost and his career plans derailed. He decided to remain in the capital city, in a neighborhood called Fourah Bay, renting a one-room shack perched on a dangerously steep ...

Mirel Wagner - "No Death": SXSW 2012 Showcasing Artist
The great Townes Van Zandt once said there are two kinds of music: "The blues and zip-a-dee-doo-dah." According to this, Mirel Wagner's self-titled debut falls solidly into the blues category. "Songwriting can hardly be more minimalistic, no-frills, more strict as Mirel Wagner's sparse music," according to German magazine Spex; we agree. Mirel Wagner was born in Ethiopia, and grew up in peaceful conditions in Espoo, the second-largest city in Finland. At age 7 she was given violin lessons, at 13 she switched to guitar and at 16 she wrote her first songs ("To The Bone", the opening song from her album, is one of those early tunes). Jean Ramsay, an American music journalist living in Finland, came across Mirel at an open mic session in Helsinki. He was particularly convinced of her talent, raved about her in an early article and recommended her to others. So, without producing a demo or contacting any record labels, Mirel found herself sitting in a real recording studio. Over two days she recorded 12 songs straight. Nine of them can be found on her debut, which was first released in Finland through the indie label Kioski Recs and mainland Europe through Bone Voyage, and is now seeing a wider release across North America through Friendly Fire Recordings. Whether in Finland, France or Germany, journalists who have listened closely are full of praise for this unique young talent who has appeared, seemingly out of the blue, with her otherworldly gloomy folk.

MAKU SoundSystem - "Canto Negro": SXSW 2012 Showcasing Artist
Individually and collectively, MAKU SoundSystem (MAKU) has been searching for a musical voice, experimenting in jazz, rock, hip-hop, and folklore. After a year of trying to build MAKU and delving into individual and cultural past, members simply came to accept themselves. MAKU is an immigrant experience, a life style, the musical expression of who and what already exists. MAKU was born between the years 2009 and 2010. Most of its band members are Colombian immigrants who live in New York City. MAKU is an extension of a strong movement of musicians in Colombia and the diaspora that are exploring the textures of traditional music, native instruments and fitting them into a diverse urban landscape. MAKU live presents an 8-musician ensemble in a show full of pure energy, digital imagery and explosive drumming taking the audience to far away gypsy lands, underground punk shows, and the Carribbean coast, "starting somewhere in the afro-colombian and ending in the jazz-punk stratosphere". In the short time span that MAKU has been together the band has independently produced two albums: Vamos Bien(2010) and MAKUMBALA (2011). . Vamos Bien(2010), MAKU's first album, fuses modern and traditional sounds and captures MAKU's original search and experimental core. Quickly following Vamos Bien (2010), MAKUMBALA (2011) was recorded over bleeding mics and rolling tapes and released on 7'' vinyl.
