We were saddened to hear that the remarkable singer Lhasa de Sela succumbed to breast cancer at age 37. Her performance at Symphony Space in the Fall of 2005 truly embodied our eclectic spirit, taking cues from Gypsy music, French cabaret, Mexican rancheras, and American country ballads. Listen to the concert here and find out why this explosive artist will be so deeply missed. <a title="theglobeandmail.com" href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/lhasa-de-sela-her-songs-like-her-life-went-everywhere/article1420009/">Click here</a> to read an appreciation from Canda's Globe and Mail. The Boston Globe calls Lhasa "the ultimate global chanteuse" while the New York Daily News describes her music as combining "the lyricism of Tom Waits, the dark tones of Nick Cave and the sensuality of Kate Bush." Taking her cues from Gypsy music, French cabaret, Mexican rancheras and American country ballads, her music is explosive.
With violin, accordion, trumpet, tuba, sousaphone, theremin, bouzouki, piano and percussion backing the soaring and heartbreaking vocals of Nick Urata, DeVotchKa's sound is transcendent. For this special show, DeVotchKa play as a duo, spotlighting urgent and tragic vocals and classically trained violin.

René Aubry - La Grande Cascade (Max Bierwirth Remix)

Following the events that occurred in several countries and closer to us in Paris and in response to the media and community’s reactions, we have decided to gather around between friends and record a version of Los Hermanos, written by Atahualpa Yupanqui, to advocate the importance of being united. Hatred breeds hatred. War breeds war.

En reacción a los recientes acontecimientos sucecidos en en numerosos países  y más cerca de nosotros en las calles de París y a su eco en los medias y la sociedad civil, hemos decidido reunirnos, entre amigos para grabar una versión de Los Hermanos de Atahualpa Yupanqui, y demostrar lo importante de quedernos unidos. El odio engendra el odio. La guerra engendra la guerra.



A Collective Vision Of Peace

used songs:

Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt - Ganges Delta Blues
Dhafer Youssef - Blending Souls & Shades (to Shiraz)

Sounds start like a journey of the flesh walking on a desert, feeling a caustic desert soil on his feet, and purple energy of the earth follows him. Then, the purple energy of the earth appears and ask the reason of his journey. He talks about percussions of his brain orchestra, contrabass on his heart (8:59). He says that he want to find his unique and perfect love on this longest route. The energy lets him to go to find "unlimited tolerance, goodness, charity and awareness through love"(9:20). After the scream of truth(9.52), the flesh starts to purify from some of body pieces and continue to follow the unfinished route of mountain. Hence, this route hosts a white plume, heavy and viscous clouds, unexpected fire on tiny dessert sands, sand spout in daylight. Black and white together.

The "energy" whispers behind the passenger:
"I'm glad that God has chosen me to be your host,
I'm glad to see you again."

The passenger smiles and whisper by himself: "It's rude to whisper in front of others. You look behind my body, i'm in front of you. I will be quiet. It's early to talk like it's just last coincidence"

Pour ce deuxième album, BKO perpétue la rencontre, jusque là
inédite, entre la musique des griots et celle des chasseurs.
Ce nouveau projet, plus électrique, est l’aboutissement d’un
travail élaboré durant les nombreuses tournées du quintet, en
Europe, en Afrique et en Chine. Originalité, puissance,
virtuosité avec pour ingrédients guitare des griots, luth des
chasseurs, voix poignantes, entourés de maîtres
percussionnistes. A noter: la participation de Mathieu
Boogaerts sur le titre « Mon amour»
