Music on Easter Sunday
I tried to cater for my French friends last week, but came up with a bit of an oddball selection. Lambada (1989) by Kaoma was indeed by a French group, but the lyrics are Portuguese. (Use the media player bottom left to listen again - music for Sunday 5th April). From what I know the band set out to produce an eclectic, generic, world music bestseller, and they succeeded, topping the charts around the world. It is a curious piece though, and difficult to place culturally - everyone I ask comes up with a different idea. Greek? Israeli? Turkish? Some Portuguese - like a cheery fado. Mostly Mediterranean.
This week, here's a picture from Easter Sunday morning.
And some music - should be liturgical I suppose, but it isn't - it's French

Last week nobody dared to guess... So, it's my role then again! I don't know. Debussy?

Despoiled daffodil juxtaposed with discarded Red Bull can. The first a symbol of purity, simplicty and regeneration; the second of over-stimulation and unnatural partying. You should turn it into an installation.

M-C - thank goodness, someone noticed the pathos in this poor couple!

Notice how that fallen daffodil is patheticaly snuggling up to the can even though he's putting on a show of indifference.
