Hi

This week I chose the theme of NAMES – names in songs and pieces of music, tracks that are clearly dedicated to people; written instead of writing a letter to the person; written in memory of the person; written as a thought piece, trying to look at the world through that person’s eyes … so many reasons behind the title …

TITO ROBIN – Lila

TRIO GOROSITO CATALDI DE LA VEGA – Chao Osvaldo

RACHID TAHA – Josephine

RODRIGO AND GABRIELA – Hanuman

BRAMATOPIN – Te Vos Maridar Rosetta

SINEAD O CONNOR – Marcus Garvey

BUCOVINA CLUB VS TARAF – Carolina (catchy, so I ope it got you jigging about)

RAMATIS – Marcia Rodhina the Mystical Roller

SOUAD MASSI – a letter to Si Ahmed

NIGEL KENNEDY AND THE KROKE BAND – Lullaby for Kamila (this piece just transports me to a lovely place …)

ANOUAR BRAHEM – The astounding eyes of Rita (another beautiful piece)  have a listen on YouTube 

JIM MORAY – Jenny of the Moor

FIDDLER’S BID – Ode to Joy (For Kate, cos she’ll be in the Shetland Isles later this year)

Some audio snippets from the Alice Springs Desert Music Club – will post up as a podcast if I get permissions sorted out!

BABYLOVE AND THE VAN DANGOS – So long CPH (a classic mistake with this track – a while since I’d listened to it and through that would be great for this show to finish on … however, its not about a person but about Copenhagen!  Ah well some people have relationships with towns and cities as emotionally strong as with a person … that is my excuse anyway, if I need one!)

 

Tune in next week from 4pm – 5.30pm on 102.1FM.

Cheers, Joy
