Relaxed session down in Lucky Loser Bar Madrid

Waltzing Matilda - Cathal O'Luanaigh (Cover)

Blazeon is a talented artist from Jinja. A self-taught guitarist and reggae lover, he cares for his two kids, sister and family through his art. He hopes to record an album and start to be taken more seriously on the music scene in Uganda bringing his live instrument and songs full of heart, soul and energy to the stage. There's something about the way he writes and plays that's unique & really worth stopping and listening to. All the tracks are his own and were recorded in Jinja in August 2011. 

Enjoy!

Cafe Madelon
Hernalsteenweg 68
1970 Wezembeek-Oppem
Belgique

PAROLES: 

J’vais raconter une histoire
D’un café, d’un patron et d’un bar
Au 1970 il se cache
Jean Claude, le roi dla moustache

A deux pas de l’avenue de Grunne
On deguste des blondes et des brunes
Suivi d'une pizza baguette 
Des chips ou meme des boulettes 

DEMI REFRAIN
Allons-y, venez, venez tous
Au Madelon boire une ptite mousse
JC le patron oh que est ce qu’il est bon
Dans notre Café Madelon

L’Alexandrie ils avaient le Phare, 
Wezembeek on a ce ptit bar
Viens une fois que jtexplique
Madlon, number one de Belgique

L’Ambiance de feu elle est bonne, 
Au Café en face d’In de Ton
Mais ca c’etait a l’epoque 
De Johnny, de Guy et du Rock

REFRAIN COMPLET
Allons-y, venez, venez tous
Au Madelon boire une ptite mousse
JC le patron oh que est ce qu’il est bon
Dans notre Café Madelon

Allons Hernalsteen 68
Se mettre une bonne grosse cuitte
Jaimerais y etre  de suite
Alors magne toi tes fesses vite vite

Yen a qui ont fait 24H
Dans notre belle deuxieme demeure
De 8h a 8h non-stop , cetait top
Qu’est ce qu’on en a bu des bonnes choppes !

Tick tack tack Tick tack tack TACK
MAIS DIS DONC C QUOI TOUT CE MICK MACK ? 
Aaaah c’est le son du kicker
Des flechettes, et le bruit du bumper

DEMI REFRAIN

Dans le couloir qui mene au pissoir
Ya plein belles photos a voir
Des souvenirs dfamille et d’amis
Chaque fois que jles vois, jdois bliiindé pipi

T’auras froid a la bite, 
S’il fait moins de 18
Les chiottes elle sont dehors
Dans ce petit cafe fait or

Kom je naar hernalsteen
Drink en bier of en wijn
Nacht of dag ga ‘t goed zijn
Madelon is mijn numer een

L’été il y a meme la foire
Encore excuse pour boire
Lendemain jnirai pas au taffe
Faute du DJ Spiritus Faf

Si tu aimes la fete, 
Pas besoin d’aller jusqu’en Crete
Et jamais rester chez sois
Wezembeekois savent pourquoi

REFRAIN

Merci Merci Jean Claude,
A plus Anna, Ben, Fred et Aude, 
Theo, Brendan et le reste
Madelon, ja zeker, het best !

Higher Man (Cathal O'Luanaigh - Live Mi7)

SHPOPS was created in 2009 in Brussels in order to get young musicians and artists connected under various different projects. The idea of SHPOPS Projects is to promote young artists whilst also developing social initiatives. The first project 'Foreign Exchange' was a compilation CD bringing together artists from across Europe in order to show people what they were all up to and to raise money for a Youth Empowerment and HIV Awareness programme which I was involved in in Uganda. 

Whilst in Uganda I set up some small music projects with young people tackling issues that affecting the young in rural communities. I also had the opportunity to meet some great young up and coming hip hop artists in Kampala and artists across Uganda and am working on ways in which to expand the collaborations done with artists and to set up a more concrete music project focusing on educating young people and helping them engage with and tackle issues that they face in their communities which may be taboo or which other youths might benefit from learning about. This project will fall under SHPOPS's  'Conscious Youth' programme. 

Work in Uganda included:

-Working in both primary and secondary schools with a variety of different groups. Recording the primary school music groups' songs about issues affecting young Ugandans.
-Recording The AIDS Support Organization (TASO) Jinja Drama Group who are an HIV positive choir who use their experiences to sensitize rural communities through music, dance and drama.
-Recording & working with artists in the Jinja region
-Working with artists in rural communities who have little or no access to instruments, musical education or recording facilities. 

SHPOPS will aim to promote these artists and projects in our next project in a non-profit format with money both helping involved projects and the development of SHPOPS Projects.
