mrbuzzardstubble Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) That was my worst Womad experience.Colin,who oversees the artists signings,told me Cesaria was in hospital in either Sydney or Melbourne due to a stroke.I was upset over this sad news.That news and the heatwave spoiled my Womad experience that year.Coincidentally,that's the only Womad I've been to (17 now) where all the weekend passes sold out.I'd like to think Cesaria was responsible. She underwent heart surgery in Paris the following May and I was hopeful she would return one day.I've wanted to see her live since '99. When she passed away,the President of the Cape Verde Islands declared 3 days of national mourning. A nice touch I thought. Edited June 26, 2014 by mrbuzzardstubble 1

ThirdDrawerDown Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Currently having a geography lesson. This place is somewhere in the world, must be world music. Mixed opinion on first listen.
progladyte Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Currently having a geography lesson. This place is somewhere in the world, must be world music. Mixed opinion on first listen. Sufjan Stevens takes a while to acclimatise TDD - give it a few more spins.
progladyte Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) You've inspired me to give this a spin Värttinä-Miero Interesting - I was giving this album a spin a few nights ago Edited June 26, 2014 by progladyte
ThirdDrawerDown Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 give it a few more spins. I'll be doing that. But you know how on first listen a record sounds like other bands? This comes across as music by someone who really likes the Reindeer Section. 1
Soundscape Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 you know how on first listen a record sounds like other bands? 99.99% of music sounds like that. The trick is to find the 0.01% that sound just like themselves. Tiny glittering needles in a very big stack of hay. Did I tell you that I like being pricked? Especially when I'm not ready for it. 2
Ian McP Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 ahah Justin Adams! I've had this release for many years, it's on rotation when we drive across to Womadelaide. Had the good fortune to chat to him at a cafe in Gouger St, Adelaide (when he appeared with Juldeh Camara) Even caught him years back at Womadelaide when Jah Wobble was there! Also with Robert Plant in Melbourne last year. Latest Songlines has a review of Imed Alibi with Justin backing on ever distinctive guitar http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/mar/06/imed-alibi-safar-review-arab-spring looks very promising, hard to keep up with Justin's many projects, know of any others?
Stump Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Sister Drum is an album by Chinese singer Dadawa which is heavily influenced by Tibetan folk music. Bombay Disco: Disco Hits from Hindi Films 1979-1985 13 dancefloor slammers from Bollywood soundtracks, from movies made in the aftermath of Saturday Night Fever's success. Stump (Lets Boogie!)
mrbuzzardstubble Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Hi Ian McP The only other project that Justin Adam's was involved in that I know of is the Les Triaboliques one.A nice album it is too.
Ian McP Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Yep, got that one too! Would you believe one of Les Triaboliques is Lu Edmonds, ex The Damned and world music pioneers 3 Mustaphas 3, caught him with John Lydon in Public Image at the Palace, Melbourne last year (another music venue sadly now recently closed, saw James Brown and Kraftwerk there, ah memories!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu_Edmonds Justin's also on an Israeli female singer's album, forgotten her name, I scored it as a subscription freebie with Songlines mag.

mrbuzzardstubble Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Bixiga 70 - Ocupai Just listened to a track from this album on Youtube,Dave.Has an Afro beat sound to it but the info is in Portuguese.Brazilian outfit? I like the cover art too.
Soundscape Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Just listened to a track from this album on Youtube,Dave.Has an Afro beat sound to it but the info is in Portuguese.Brazilian outfit? I like the cover art too. Yeah, from Brazil. In the end it was a bit too polished for my taste, but fun while it lasted. I like the cover too, that's what grabbed me. A cool idea to lay topographic lines over the primitive looking profiles. Last nights listens were selected from and inspired by the latest experimedia newsletter in my inbox. They have lots of fascinating stuff that I can't afford 2
