Nouvelle Vague - Algo Familiar

Argentinian twin sisters Laura et Gianna Caronni were born in a family of Swiss, Italian, Russian and Spanish origins, where the music of Opera and Tango intertwined. They studied classical music, moved to France in 1998, where they played with Argentinian musicians (Juan Cedron, Juan Carlos Cáceres...). The sisters’ music reflects all these musical influences and something more, intimate and personal, that only belongs to them.

Gianna et Laura Caronni sont deux soeurs jumelles d'origine argentine nées sous le signe du tango, ascendants candombé,  chacarera, milonga et musique classique. Leurs chansons, c’est la synthèse de tout cela, et tout autre chose à la fois, une nostalgie aux sons chauds et caressants du violoncelle et de la clarinette, et deux voix en parfaite harmonie.

5 track tribute to the talented singer Lhasa De Sela:

1) Live recording of Lhasa Del Sela as she sings Fairuz's adaptation of the poem by Khalil Gibran 'The Nay/ A´tini  Al-nay /  اعطني الناي

أعطني الناي وغني, فالغنا سر الوجود وأنين الناي يبقى, بعد أن يفنى الوجود هل إتخذت الغاب مثلي, منـزلاً دون القصور فتتبعت السواقي, وتسلقت الصخور هل تحممت بعطره, وتنشفت بنور وشربت الفجر خمراً, من كؤوس من أثير هل جلست العصر مثلي, بين جفنات العنب والعناقيد تدلت, كثريات الذهب هل فرشت العشب ليلاً, وتلحفت الفضاء زاهداً في ما سيأتي, ناسياً ما قد مضى أعطني الناي وغني, وانسى داء ودواء إنما الناس سطورٌ, كتبت لكن بماء 

Give me the Nay and sing, /The secret song of eternity. /The laments of the Nay will linger /Beyond the decline of existence.

Have you, like me, /Chosen the forest dwelling /Rather than the castle? /Have you followed the stream /And climbed the rocks? /Have you anointed your body /With fragrance distilled in light? /Have you been drunk with dawn /In the goblets full of pure air?

Have you, like me,/ Sat down at dusk,/ Among the glowing languor/ Of vines laden with grapes? /Have you lain down on the grass at night /And covered yourself with heavens, /Opening your heart to the future, /Forgetful of the past?

Give me the Nay and sing, /The song in tune with hearts. /The laments of the Nay will linger  /Beyond the fading of sins. Give me the Nay and sing, /Unmindful of troubles and cures. /For each man /Is nothing more than a watercolor sketch.
