Lounge way executed by the American group Pink Martini  on his first album, sympathique, in 1997, "Amado Mio" was created in 1946 for the movie Gilda. It is mimed by actress Rita Hayworth and sung by Anita Kert Elis. Aida KALY revels in this kitsch Latin theme wish she deals with strength and emotion. "Amado Mio" allows to locate immediately the particular universe of Pink Martini.

Pink Martini - Ninna Nanna

This beautiful song which has been churning around in my head on and off for decades was composed by Philippe Sarde (with lyrics by Jean-Loup Dabadie) in 1970 along with the rest of his score for Claude Sautet's "Les choses de la vie". Romy Schneider and Michel Piccoli who starred in the film also lent their voices to this song, which I believe was the first and last time the former ever did so. Some might argue that it was a wise decision :-/  

I was delighted that Anne agreed to take on the role of Romy in order to sing on my instrumental cover of "La chanson d'Hélène" whilst I filled in for Michel :-) As luck would have it she shares a similar subtle German accent and airiness in the voice, but with the added bonus of being simply incapable of singing flat :-) I think she did a brilliant job ...

I've added a link to some footage of the original live recording for the nostalgic at heart (that's my middle name) :

Lyrics : 

Ce soir nous sommes septembre 
Et j'ai fermé ma chambre 
Le soleil n'y entrera plus 
Tu ne m'aimes plus 

Là-haut un oiseau passe
Comme une dédicace 
Dans le ciel 

Je t'aimais tant Hélène 
Il faut se quitter 
Les avions partiront sans nous 
Je ne sais plus t'aimer Hélène 

Avant dans la maison j'aimais quand nous vivions 
Comme dans un dessin d'enfant 
Tu ne m'aimes plus 

Je regarde le soir tomber dans les miroirs 
C'est ma vie 

C'est mieux ainsi Hélène 
C'était l'amour sans amitié
Il va falloir changer de mémoire 
Je ne t'écrirai plus Hélène
 
L'histoire n'est plus à suivre et j'ai fermé le livre 
Le soleil n'y entrera plus 
Tu ne m'aimes plus

Zorita is the band formed around the songs of Belgian/Spanish singer and songwriter Carlos Zorita Diaz. At the core of their music lies a deep sense of longing, attraction and warmth submerged in a sonic bath of sensuality, melancholy and mystery with a dark edge. With their latest release ‘Don’t You Lie’ the band brings these qualities to life with a modern and dreamlike sound that hints towards Cigarettes After Sex, Arctic Monkeys and Balthazar.
 
Based in Amsterdam since 2010, Zorita used to blend their songs with influences from all over the world into catchy pop music. Some of those influences are still latently present in their new work. Their songs bring to mind the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the lake near your grandmother's house and other places that appeal to their imagination. Some people compared Zorita’s sound to Calexico, Lhasa de Sela and Manu Chao. Others typed them as the Quentin Tarantino house band.
 
Zorita’s music carries some form of melancholy, and whenever possible they like to put that to a nice rhythm. Because if you are going to be melancholic, you might as well be shaking your hips.
