Hello everybody and welcome back
Before anything, happy new year
May this one be better
May it provide for what the last one lacked
As we close another cycle
We ask the next one to bring us plenty
Plenty of tools to figure out whatever happened
In twenty twenty
So you see, we are back with poetry
At least rhymes
We do it gladly
Or we try
To pass the time
Anyhow
Let us begin
Open your eyes
Turn off your phones
Sit back now
Breath out, breath in
Then close your eyes
I’m just kidding
Here is the playlist
You should know our first guest
In here he flies first class
He sure is amongst the best
It is Majid Bekkas
With his Magic Spirit Quartet
They do us the honour
With a classic from the Gnaouas
We did hear once here before
Played by Maalem Mahmoud Guinia
Bania
With Majid, there is a twist
We are used to his jazz collaborations
We know them well
Regardless
It is always with the same fascination
That we press play
That we play press
Then comes a band
Whose beautiful story
I told times and times again
At the reception
Elia y Elizabeth
It was a succesful band
But very briefly
Between 1972 and 1973
Intense in passion
The band came to an end
Alledgedly
As I understand
For them to pursue their studies
A lesson
We go on with Sharpshooters
Discovered while watching The Wire
Still haven’t recovered
From such fire fired
Their album reminds of a song
Written by Claude MC
Talking about the fusion
That gave birth to such beauty
That is rap
Si le Jazz excèle
Le rap en est l’étincelle
Qui flambe les modes, qui sont toujours
À temps partiel
We enter the blurry zone
Of today’s playlist
Magic monsters and furry bones
In a foggy mist
That is how I see Blake Leyh’s Dreadfish
I have no clue what it refers to
It’s like a reggae song that never begins
Like a hairy snake that never ends
With no head and to tail too
On its back we travel
For around eight minutes
Towards the next musical panel
That nothing could disrupt
They are more than two tousands and I only see these two
The rain merged them, it seems
One another
While one of the best rappers
Reminds us that even the deads once were toddlers
What a gem
A few drops suffice
Of Lino’s rhymes
And we are twenty again
J’ai fait un cauchemar j’ai dû rêver que j’avais du taf
Is what you could hear if you could
dig the underground of a painting
Under the ground under the building
Under the castle of the King
Hence its follower
A song from Le Roi et L’oiseau
Mellow rêveur but bitter
Mains vers le bas, yeux vers le haut
Walking in circles
In his hand a flower
In his mind a struggle
In her arms a mumble
On their heads a bird
On the bird a castle
One tousand and one rumors
As many are possible
Sang beautifully by Peggy Seeger
What a timber!
In one the the first posts here
I said about Bill Withers
His voice is like honey to the ears
And so is hers
A very good friend of mine
Introduced me to Vincent Dumestre
And not a day goes by
Without my being thankful
It is beautiful
Though a vast repertoire
Brings joy at first
Excitement then, then désespoir
The opposite of unsatisfied thirst
How long will it take
To listen to it all? To have a complete view?
But you can’t have your cake
And it eat too
And that’s the truth
The last bit of our journey is folk
And like some folk that be
It has its own mouth to talk
Mine is not necessary
But please, before closing
Look up the story
Of The Shoals of Herring
You might even find a old show by the BBC
About it
Another cycle is closed
Time to release the tension
Time to sort out the last details
And close the reception
Not indefinitely
I will see you again for another playlist
Check out time is still 10h30
