Better get your skates on, Lat...don't think we saw this one coming.

I thought you might post Tenpole Tudor's follow up to Swords of a Thousand Men.........

Well, I did say that only the countries with the best music would go through. This could be a challenge........anyone fancy 10 tracks by the 17 Hippies?

This thread has turned lively and I'm falling behind a bit but I hope to catch up.

The Argies scraped through with presumably just one point more than the possible minimum for qualification. I might as well keep with them as my prediction.

Amon Düül II anyone?
Think I'd rather a few more by Marlene, Lotte and the Comedian Harmonists anyday, Lat.

Well, I fail on world music knowledge, but a few of our German friends will be coming out in hives tonight.


But the Swedes are happy enough
Hate to say I told you so.

I loved Swords of a Thousand Men, especially that TOTP performance. You will surely realise that most people who have tattoos are the ones who are unable to have that hair. The song you are referring to is Wunderbar. The original Wunderbar by Zarah Leander - Hitler's favourite singer - had been featured in Kenny Everett's classic World's Worst Wireless Programme.

Our posts crossed. Luckily, I didn't do Amon Duul 1 or 2 - or Tangerine Dream - on this occasion but I got in a bit of Popol Vuh and Faust, along with Can under another name, Krafwerk but not as we know them, Neu! who were fabulous and in Einsturzende Neubauten the band which made Joy Division sound like the Dooleys. And it was quite enjoyable to do actually.

Two of the World Music World Cup big hitters face off against each other - Senegal v Colombia. If results are favourable both could still go through, though Poland need to turn up at the tournament v the Japanese which they have failed to do so far. Anyway here's a lecture about Senegal from Baaba Maal featuring Jamaican actor Carl Bradshaw...Yela!

...and from Colombia a spot more Cumbia, from Los Corraleros del Majagual.

Still hoping my two quid resting on Colombia is active at the end of the day, but Senegal are the last African hope...COME ON POLAND! (No offence Japan)!

[johncorrigan]

And for all our departing North African friends what about a spot of the Magnificent Orchestra National de Barbes! See you next time.
