So wird Weihnachten in Russland gefeiert: Antje Hinz berichtet in einer kleinen Reportage über ihren Besuch im weihnachtlichen St. Petersburg bei Kolja und Svetlana. Ein Kleinod aus ihrem Radio-Archiv, das die Autoirn einst für (das leider nicht mehr existierende Kindermusikmagazin) Papageno auf WDR 3 produziert hat.

Weihnachten in St. Petersburg mit Familie, Musik, Essen, Kirche

Moontraxx is very exited to announce a new album currently being recorded by the Ipanema Lounge Project! It will be bursting with beautiful French chansons, Spanish, English and Portuguese jazz songs - a world jazz album in the true sense: These songs are a fusion of musical styles and and will transport you into different atmospheres of Southern Europe and Brazil!

Sway is the English version of the song ¿Quién será?, a 1953 mambo instrumental song by the Mexican composers Luis Demetrio and Pablo Beltran Ruiz. The most famous English version is that of Dean Martin recorded in 1954. English lyrics are by Norman Gimbel.

I believe this song, “Candy’s Caravan” to be like a blend of nu-jazz, electronica and pop. It is almost like a short Burlesque piece staged by David Lynch. The tempo is slow, but the electric bass provides a very rhythmic pattern that nicely compliments the vocal that moves between narrator and main character Candy. Additional colours are provided by the electric guitar and synthesizers.

I wrote about the creative process of writing this song in my blog post: www.franceslivings.com/candys-caravan/

This track is from the album The World I Am Livings In and is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/franceslivings13
