Think he did L for "Louie Louie" in similar vein. He may even have suggested that it was the most attempted song of all time? New bands starting out with very limited repetoire etc. But that would involve pretending away "Yesterday" of course. Re that unattributed clip, is it one of Mr Sherratt's many side projects? I just thought I recognised in that building behind them the barbers where Tom Brosseau gets his hair cut. Do keep them coming in please. I will speak with some eloquence - not a lot - about the M and M and Ms next.Originally posted by johncorrigan View Post
(Thought I would do a "T" at this stage just for the hell of it)

New Orleans...or should that be New Orleans.
And on the N.O. topic, R.I.P. to Frankie Ford who's just joined the big sea cruise in the sky...he may only have been known for one song, but what a belter!

Really liked all those clips, especially the Quebecois - spectacular voices - and the fantastic Missa Luba. I do like a choir if it is distinctive. On the latter, I was immediately struck by how a parallel of sorts could be drawn with Ariel Ramirez's Misa Criolla. That is, without question, one of my very favourite pieces of classical music from South America. I know I have posted the following link a couple of times but one thing I have never pointed out is the key role of Monty Don. You can't say that the fella isn't versatile. To muse a little longer, the dates of the two pieces are fascinating. The Ramirez work is from 1964 and the Missa Luba is very slightly later - 1965? - but I believe the voices for the latter were recorded in the late 1950s. It is a chicken or an egg or a neither. Anyway, smashing are both. And remember people...to be uniform doesn't mean it has to be penguin suit formal!

L for Lo - Cheikh and Ismael. I very much like both. The latter appears to be loathed by certain purists. I like almost all of what I have heard by him. Along with Angelique Kidjo's "Agolo" and Cheb Mami's "Ana Oualache" I consider this a "world pop masterpiece" in case anyone wondered if there could be such a thing. And, yes, I wonder too until I hear this!

In fact, let's go for M for Mami. What a voice! What a song!:

nb I find these tracks so uplifting - the latter more than the first - it soars above any regional political connotations and utterly blasts through them all. Sheer, slightly tearful, joy!
Digging out my old favourites here and you have seen them all before but I am going to pre-empt "T" again with "Tizita". It's an acquired taste but once bitten. Almost in raptures:

Loved that one Lat - not aware of having heard that before and not sure I've heard Cheb Mami before. Got better and better as it went on.Originally posted by Lat-Literal View PostComment

Would love to hear that live. You should have seen me with the late Rev Solomon Burke and also the Unthanks on one of their better days.Originally posted by johncorrigan View Post
Tears and a lot of ecstatic smiles. And the performers notice not without disquiet 'cos I am generally at the front. Complete nutter basically.

Right then - it's time I think for N, O, P and any Qs we haven't had yet.
I note New Orleans, Nevilles etc.
N could also be Nueva Cancion:

If I can find any fault with it at all, there was no trumpet (not a big issue).
nb That might just be one of the best of this year - if it is from this year which I think it is!
O might be Orchestras - Barbes, Baobab etc:

Well it's 'Canada Now', Lat, so I assume 2015 - I love it - played it about 5 times today. The funny thing is there are 15 tracks on the CD, lots with Indian, Middle eastern, Moroccan influences as well as Inuit and Acadian and Quebecois - a nice surprise, but that's a topper. Glad you liked it as much as I did.Originally posted by Lat-Literal View PostWhoah.....if that was especially selected, you've got me right John.
