Uma canção pequena

Hello boyz'n girlz,
I hope you're all doing fine, whatever your situation, location and weather is...

On today's post, we'll pay a little visit to Brazil, while i'll give you the chance (or shall i say the privilege?) to download and listen to the amazing sound of Astrud Gilberto re-edited by a young genius I have already mentioned earlier here.

Ladies 'n Gentlemen
, i'm giving you the talented and skillfull Todd Terje, hyding here behind his alter-ego name Tangoterje, and who reworks for our biggest joy and sonic pleasure, the mystical "Black Magic" by the mythical girl from Ipanema (athough born in Salvador de Bahia).

But first i'd really appreciate to share with you a short video, related to an earlier post: it was on September 27 th, at the Tunnel in Milan, the event was called the Dance and it definitely was a nice party ..Here's the opportunity (or shall i say the chance?) to live again a few moments of open bar, smiles an good vibes...
Thanx and compliments to the guys at Logovideo for it!

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME!







Since i haven't been writing down any line here..But the last weeks have been busy, lottsa changes in my life and diverse tasks to fullfill have kept me away from thinking about music, fortunately not away from listening to some more...
Today's topic is Isabelle Antena, who I'll proudly introduce as a co-citizen from Montpellier!! (Let me hear you holler, my southern friends...)
Isabelle released with her band Antena a very nice album in the early 80s, made of balearic and melancolic ballads, called "Camino Del Sol" on the "Les Disques Du Crépuscule" label.
It's been somehow forgotten for a while i guess, although it's always been a strong influence for many producers and Deejays. It's re-emerging these days thanks to a couple of recent remixes skillfully crafted by Todd Terje and Joakim. They've been published by the german and young yet excellent label "Permanent vacation", which i highly recommend you to start looking for.
So i'd like to propose here below another tune by Isabelle, an original one, which featured on her first album...
Hope you'll enjoy it. It's as sweet and tasty as an italian ice-cream, that Isabelle, plus, seems to appreciate, seen the number of friends she has on this side of the Alps.
So prepare to chill, here's your track:

Antena "Bye-bye Papaye"

Thanx and, please, come back soon...
