Maurice Monthier e Sua Grande Orquestra Vol.3 (1970)

London/Odeon LLB 1058

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

If you wonder about the New Year's start on the 14th of January, the explanation is simple: That's the date according to the Serbian, Russian etc calendar.

If you wonder now why I have not written Happy New Year using Cyrillic letters, the explanation is also simple: I have still not figured out how to install the language bar in my newly installed version of Ubuntu Studio O.S.

If you wonder who Maestro Maurice Monthier might be, the explanation is not so simple: I do not know much about him, except that his listed discogaphy consists of a series of around 8 career albums with the same title but with a different volume number.

If you wonder how Maurice's performance sounds, the answer is simple: Give these songs a listen and judge for yourself:

01. Ti Voglio Tanto Bene (Ernesto de Curtis / Domenico Furnó)
02. Airport Love Theme (Alfred Newman / Paul Francis Webster)
03. Marie Jolie (Evanghelos Papathanassiou / B. Bergman)
04. Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head (Burt Bacharach / Hal David)
05. A Namorada Que Sonhei (Osmar Navarro)
06. Marie Blanche (G. Bonnet / P. A. Dousset)
07. Midnight Cowboy (John Barry)
08. Quem Sabe (Antônio Carlos Gomes / F. L. Bittencourt Sampaio)
09. I'l Catch The Sun (Rod McKuen)

Barbara - EP (2010, a parallel reality)

МИР БОЖЈИ, ХРИСТОС СЕ РОДИ! 

Желим свима који данас славе да Божић проведу у миру, здрављу, радости и весељу.

I still have not managed to buy a new PC (most of the shops are closed because of Christmas holidays and the employees in those that have been open yesterday and today act as if they are absolutely not interested in selling anything) so I have to check my mail and make an eventual post from other people's computers, I just remembered that some time ago I have uploaded on Deposit an EP with music completely unusual for Parallel Realities (although found in a parallel reality).

Confusing? Yes it is and it will be more confusing for you after you have downloaded and listened to the two selected tracks included.

From my eccentric, Serbian point of view, this is, apart from great artists' from the previous century continuation of their art in the 21 century, the first new, contemporary music done with passion, feeling, rhythm, general joy of living and singing, erotic and masterfully composed and sung by the charming singer from Congo, Вarbara Kanam.

Enjoy the romantic and passionate Jardin d'amour and the ecstatic and hypnotic Si - Si plus the incredible politeness of Barbara crediting the musicians participating on this (studio) recording by name, mixed into the music as part of the texts with some phrases sung in French but mostly in another (beautiful) language unknown to me (Swahili ?):

1. Jardin d'amour (Вarbara Kanam)
2. Si - si (Вarbara Kanam)

Nicanor Teixeira - O Violao Brasileiro de Nicanor Teixeira (1977)

Private production (no label)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

At the start of 2015 there are good news and not so good news in this parallel reality.

The good news is that I am able to present you with a rarity out of our friend Stu Blagden's private collection: Violão player Nicanor Teixeiria's LP produced as a limited series private release from 1977. About him and his music there are two texts on the back cover, one by Herminio Bello de Carvalho and the other by Turibio Santos, which I recommend reading.

The not so good news (from my point of view) is that my PC hopelessly crashed at a time where all services and shops are closed because of a short New Year's holiday which will, as usual merge with, the one happening in a few days because of Christmas.
It all means that I can not access my hard discs and the only post which I could make is the one I am doing right now, thanks to the fact that Stu sent me the tracks and cover scans by mail, so I downloaded them again from Gmail to this computer which not mine.
In short: There will be no posts in the next (I hope just a few) days.

Enjoy:
