Underrated song for the 2007 poll...

Re: 2007...

A beautiful French song from a wonderful EP (followed by a good but not as great LP)

Not really obscure but I was kinda surprised that this was not on the AM songs list.

2008...

I tried to post this last night but the IT gremlins caused problems, so I’ll try again...

Ahead of the 2008 poll next month, I’ve listened to more albums than usual from Latin America, Spain and Portugal. I’m really pleased I made the effort because I’ve discovered a few I really like. Here are some of them with YouTube links to a song from each album in brackets.

Isol / Zypce – Sima (La culpa)
Teleradio Donoso – Baylar y Llolar (Éramos todos felices)
Banda de Turistas – Mágico corazón radiofónico (La máquina favorita)
Marcelo Camelo – Sou (Liberdade)
Christina Rosenvinge – Tu labio superior (La distancia adecuada)
Onda Vaga – Fuerte y caliente (Mambeado)
El Columpio Asesimo – La gallina (La marca en nuestra frente es la de Caín)

Re: 2008...

I think I tried to hype Rokia Traoré with some success already in our yearly poll at the end of 2008. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a big sensation!

Dad's music of 2008

... and this as well (if you're into the mystic)



The Mandé Variations is a masterpiece, but a very demanding one. Listening to this album requires absolute silence, focus, for it is a mystical experience.
I've been to this part of Africa and every note feels like a sun ray (or a raindrop, depends on the season).
I can picture the red clay, the green grass that spurs in the rainy season, the people, the children everywhere.
Toumani is universal. A virtuoso, yes, but much more than that, a true artist. A magician.
