Thank you to the violin and cello players that sounded so great!

Fernando Furones - A Leap Into Eternity

This piece is funky and groovy and shaky, shaky. Good lord, I love these kind of big-bandish soul/jazz/funk/motown-stuff. The 70s were exeptinalfor this stuff.

The harmonic structure of this pices is very sophisticated so are it's rhythms (the placements of the kicks). But it really doesen't sound like that. It all gets carried away by the straight forward 16th note-funk feel.

I mentioned the 70s because of bands like 'chic' or 'the average white band' who both took that 'james brown-type' music  into more comercially arranged area. Hyms like 'le freak' or 'pick up the pieces' represent this partucular style until today. Not too many people know even the band or song names. but as soon as they listen they go: «of course...i know that.»

but also bands who - back then - delivered this type of sound to the more sophisticated listerners, are classics in their own fields: the brecker brothers, the jaco partorius big band,  thower of power, etc.

The Eagles of Armenelos

"When a lion does something unusual, there is always a question of whether it is a normal lion, or a spirit lion, a mhondoro. In the Shona language a biological lion is called shumba. A mhondoro is something altogether different. Mhondoro often becomes active and disturbed, when something in the relationship between the people and the land is not right. They may show their displeasure by killing those who have not behaved properly and respectfully.”
