Good Morning

Jazzy's Friday Choice

First a powerful singer of traditional music -

Yanka Rupkina - Alten Mara

Kate Bush and Trio Bulgarka - Rocket's Tail

A great song from her 1989 album "The Sensual World". The song features The Trio Bulgarka on backing vocals and David Gilmour on guitar. It's named after Kate's cat Rocket.Yanka is one-third of Trio Bulgarka.

Trio Bulgarka - Raditze Le

Lisa Gerrard - Violina

Sainkho Namtchylak - Tanola Nomads

Enjoy.

Sainkho

I have mentioned this Tuvan singer in the past and once in Brighton many years ago.  So here is some more Sainkho.

Sainkho Namtchylak - Bail-Laa Taigam

Sainkho Namtchylak - Dance of Eagle

Sainkho Namtchylak - Tuva Blues

Sainkho Namtchylak - Ritual Virtuality

Today's Finds

This is more than a coincidence. In the post today I received a book I bought for two quid at Amazon Marketplace called The Rough Guide To Latin Music, 100 Essential CD's which was once reviewed by Wire magazine.



I am in town, in Faversham, posting off an item I sold online, and getting some food items, and then going around the charity shops. Guess what I find for fifty pence and which is reviewed on page 99 of the above book - this very CD from 1994.




This will be my fourth album by this Brazilain singer.

Sue Steward in the book says it is her best album, and I think I concur. The highlight features the Bahian Berimbau (fiddle) of a Carlinhos Brown song.

Marisa Monte - Segue o Seco

The other Cd that I found that I did not expect to get, as it was two CD's for a quid, was the Kronos Quartet CD "Nuevo" where this classical outfit does Latin music including one by loungecore maestro, Esquivel.

Kronos Quartet - Mini Skirt (Esquivel)

Enjoy.

Music For The Night People

Something smoother perhaps -

Cassandra Wilson - Fragile

Silje Nergaard - Be Still My Heart

Nina Simone (Joe Claussell Remix) - Feeling Good

Enjoy

Good Night
