Cesaria Evora, koningin van het Kaapverdiaanse levenslied, overleden

Posted on by

Op 17 december 2011 overleed op 70-jarige leeftijd Kaap Verdië’s beroemdste zangeres, Cesaria Evora.
Eerder dit jaar besloot zij niet meer op te treden. Het ging bergafwaarts met de gezondheid van de onbetwiste koningin van de morna, het Kaapverdiaanse melancholieke levenslied en nu is zij overleden. Dat zij mag rusten in vrede. Hier is van haar een mooi en vrolijk lied.

In the footsteps of Kumar Gandharva – ragasinger Pushkar Lele tours Holland & Belgium

Posted on by

A not to be missed concert tour of young ragasinger Pushkar Lele in The Netherlands and Belgium from 30 November to 6 December 2011. Pushkar Lele sings in the North Indian hindusthani tradition. Natural curiosity led him to follow in the footsteps of that great innovator of Indian vocal music, Kumar Gandharva. No imitator, however, he performs his own interpretations of ragas and bhajan poetry. Pushkar Lele’s vocal art will be accompanied by Sanjay Deshpande on tabla and Suyog Kundalkar on harmonium.

Great recording of Kesarbai Kerkar travelling through space with the Voyager Spacecraft

Posted on by

Morning raga Bhairavi, beautifully sung by Keserbai Kerkar. It’s one of the recordings travelling through space with the Voyager Spacecraft, launched in 1977. I once made a two part-special for the Concertzender concerned with this idea of a musical space message. All the Voyager music was broadcasted in part 1. Part 2 featured my own musical space message: great music from all over the world, representing basic human emotions. I didn’t receive any alien response 🙂
