Il y a deux jours, la lilloise nous a fait écouter cette chanson: elle en disait que l'occitan Cabrel est «de la Dordogne, au Sud de la France» -même si l'Agenais est au sud de la Dordogne- et qu'il a un accent très très different de celui qu'elle parle, bien fière d'être «nordiste». Je me demande si personne ne lui a jamais dit qu'elle parle l'espagnol comme une vache... française? Maudite république celle où l'on peut écouter Daby Touré chanter en mandé soninké mais qui traite les autres langues françaises comme «patois»!

Certainly alla youse may have heard of the death of great Buddy Holly and others on a day like this; but most likely you'd have never heard of greater ام كلثوم, the mother of Arabic music, who passed on this very date as well: hope one of her most popular hits, Enta omri, rings a bell.

Jan Mari Carlotti és l'amo: sóc fan d'ell des que el van donar a conéixer per ací baix els d'Al Tall, amb els quals ha tornat a col·laborar en la seua última cantata de nom profètic. El Pete Seeger occità -quasi res, diu el diari- es donà a conéixer fent cançons populars amb el grup Mont-Joia, però la seua obra pròpia com a cantautor folk és tan poc ressenyada com superada en tota Occitània. El títol? Pareu atenció a la lletra, que l'occità és pareix prou al valencià...

Eswegh atay ihan elkas azzar s-ulhin har tisantas.
Of late I've become addicted to these Tuaregs from Tinariwen (Tamasheq for «the deserts», which is both the name of the group and that of their homeland). Not that Josh Homme's Dessert Sessions are less inspiring, but these people really mean it: they've swallowed sand all of his life, they've fought -yep, with weapons- for their folk and they play vintage equipment because there ain't many guitar stores where they belong to... although, three decades and five studio albums later, they're one of the so-called Third World most talked-about acts, even by the likes of Bono, Robert Plant or the RHCP.

Mira que cada vegada que sent el gran hit del napolità Domenico Modugno, em ve al cap no-sé-quina pel·lícula espanyola -jo crec que era Dragon Rapide, però no pot ser no?- i, encara que és una cançó molt bona, jo sempre l'associe al personatge de Franco. I no estic parlant de Batiatto...

Paco és el cantant més gran de la Ribera i del món conegut, però diu que ja caduqueja i que no es tornarà a retirar enguany. La qual cosa no sé si vol dir que tornarà per a fer una gira...?

Tu vuò fa l'americano, 
'mmericano, 'mmericano! 
ma si nato in Italy; 
siente a mme 
non ce sta' niente a ffa 
okay, neapolitan!
Ironically enough, Americans covering or sampling this hit have become the natives being ridiculized by Nisa on one of the most famous Neapolitan song he wrote with Renato Carusone in the late Fifties.

Tahdon sulle olla hyvin hellä 
oisit mulle kukka kämmenellä, 
tuskaa sulle, en vois ikinä mä tuottaa.
Miss Suomi 1977 va triomfar no només com a nineta de revista, sinó com a cantant coenta en el duo Danny ja Armi. Ara, el major triomf del duet va ser amb la versió anglòfona d'esta cançó -coenta inclús a ritme de samba-, que es convertí en candidat a pitjor vídeo de la història en 2006, quatre anys després de la mort de la xicona -també a començament d'any- d'una pulmonia provocada per l'alcoholisme crònic.

Llorando
de cara a la pared
se para la ciudad.
Llorando
y no hay más,
¿muero quizás?
¡Ha! ¿Dónde estás?
But not the way you think: Lhasa de Sela died on the first day of 2010 after a twenty-one months long battle with breast cancer, three great albums and a lifetime on the road between the US, Mexico, Occitany and Québec. For it was at Montréal where she started a career with this song, despite her first release, La llorona, being entirely on Spanish and considering her mother tongue was actually English.

Some funny facts about Lemmy: his biological father was a chaplain in the RAF which he never got to know and, therefore, he hated him; he lived with his family near Anglesey in Wales from age ten to sixteen; it was there where he arguably got his nickname by making a catchphrase of «Lemme a quid till Friday» and when he started to fancy birds, rock&roll and... horses? He even learned to play over Please Please Me and saw the Beatles live at the Cavern. But what's most admirably is that he's stuck to Rickenbacker past the 80's when other famous endorsers like Geddy Lee or Paul Weller switched to the majors in axecrafting!

...but it don't make no difference 
'cos I ain't gonna be easy. 
Easy? 
The only time I'm easy's when I'm 
killed by death!
No hi ha cap grup de rock més dur que Motörhead ni cap de figura més autèntic que l'anglés Ian Fraser Kilmister: la seua estampa travessant-ho tot en Killed by Death amb una moto és èpica, com bé sap el Nano de Carcaixent.

Yes, he was born in Baltimore and, despite the fact he would eventually settle in California, the fact that his father was a Sicilian immigrant from Partinicu and his mother was of French and Italian ancestry makes me wonder: why didn't his folks talk to him in other language than -received?- English? As if he didn't look European enough...

Endevina endevinalla... qui és el misteriós productor mallorquí que farà meravelles amb el disc de Mi Sostingut? Una pista: no és el gandul que ix darrere. Eixe és el xofer que va a replegar-lo ara a Manises amb un cartellet que diu...
