I believe there are a few Orkestars too which we could include.

Oh yes, please, Kocani Orkestra - one of my all time fave tracks:

Now sometimes they sing with Smadj - not on YouTube but here

Mi Bori Sar Korani - Smadj Remix

https://open.spotify.com/track/12kEU6pFplZu5Bdz1ef2e5

Kočani Orkestar, Smadj · Electric Gypsyland 2 · Song · 2006

or, just Smadj, with the confusingly titled "B of the Desert"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hFL5TJJXro

or, more typically,

Smadj -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSS8nbz4uZQ

Smadj - Sel que j'aime Album : Selin (2010)

Other S's, just checked my personal playlist and Salif Keita actually dominates...
T = Taraf de Haidouks, Tinariwen, Tony Allen, Tunng
early vote for V = Vinicio Capossela

retro vote for B = Blick Bassy

Wow - lot's of things here - thanks GT.

I am entering them into the processor as I write.

Hallowe'en approaches fast, Lat.

Under T, I reckon Hugh Tracey would make a nice addition.

I like the Hugh Tracey suggestion a lot.

You beat me to it.

I was a day or two away from posting that clip as I don't think I've posted any Bernstein and saw the BBC4 Bernstein thread.

Am not simply keen on Dudamel and the Venezuelans but ecstatically keen.

Hasn't he moved on now, though, to LA? Maybe he does both.

Thank you, for noticing and commenting.
Time for a change. Always time for a change. Someone else, somewhere else will also know who he is. Here's a wonderful clue:

Mack the Knife Sung by Lotte Lenya

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPG9GcykPIY

The song "Mack the Knife" was witten by Kurt Weill for his wife Lotte Lenya. Here Ms Lenya sings "Mack the Knife" in its original German.

and, incidentally (nothing to do with the avatar), don't forget she went on to feature in a JB film...

It isn't Brecht and it isn't Darin unless he changed a lot so I think it could be a McDonald but I'm not really sure.

I might need to see the colour of his boots.*

We will now sweep R and S forward into T, U and V, noting that there have already been a few suggestions.

So anything for those letters please and perhaps especially for U while a potentially less mild affair takes place elsewhere about whether there is a new definition of J-Pop:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU7ZCUGnROk

(*To be honest, I thought it was U)

**Globaltruth** · 09-10-15, 11:13

Very few pictures of his shoe exist.

Maybe I can get away with this feller for U

River song - U Srinivas - YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAQmeOaCo6o

Heavenly composition by U Srinivas from the album Samjanitha.

although I would also be happy with

in fact there's a certain contemplative commonality between the first 2 all don't you think?

Shoe?

I've been through Douglas Bader, Hopalong Cassidy and the members of Traffic as well as Neil and, earlier, Al Murray.

None of these even meet the criteria and all you have done is confirm that it isn't Sandie Shaw.

Those clips are excellent. I love the first one. Think I might be moving into an Indian etc phase. Label it post-Ethiopian.

Hmm, perhaps OTT but what the heck: U for Ute Lemper

Well, that is the Brecht link and it's a nice clip so thank you for it Pianorak.

Whatever is in Songlines and Joe Boyd, we do have to get this guy in somewhere.

S for Sufi or U for Urdu. Or U for Ustad.

How often do people say of hype that there isn't enough of it?

That was the case with Nusrat. Every single bit of it justified.

And, yes, he deserved more because he is one of the greatest ever music men.

Thanks.

Can a shoe be a red herring? some sort of herring anyway...

ok, here's another clue and an excuse to play something from the letter B for Blues or M

Muddy Waters - Mad Love - YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM3kHi4M5eo

Muddy Waters - Mad Love

Oh, M is another clue....drat.

Well, not me! But clutching at straws: Could it be Kurt Weill without his glasses?
