We are starting off into April - the first real spring month with a couple of new additions to the musical platforms. Today for a good mood we listen to Julian Lage, followed by Israeli band Quarter to Africa, and to wrap things up we have Iggy Pop’s latest project. 

Every song by Boris Grebenshchikov and Aquarium is a puzzle. Such is also the last one. After the song came to life, the author has to explain what is behind the encrypted names and words.

More than 30 years ago, at Viktor Tsoi's “In Memoriam” concert, while the eternal song "Kukushka" was playing, graffiti appeared, written by Boris Grebenshchikov - the discoverer of Tsoi and KINO: "There is no death - I'll see you after the concert.” The project we listen today proves this sentence.

Our musical journey brings us to Brazil, 8° south of the Equator, in the old town of Olinda (included in UNESCO’s cultural heritage), where in 2014 seven friends found their band Academia da Berlinda.

Saxophone player Guillaume Perret got a classical training and is better known as a studio musician and an author for theatre and film scores. Today the art by the French sound explorer brings us back to live shows and to the pleasure of experiencing live music.

From the long discography of Polar Bear we chose the album “Held on the Tips of Fingers”. This record, with its melodic sound and feeling for drama and humour, sudden turns and unimaginable combinations, is also present in the list of the 100 albums that have changed the direction of jazz by respected British publication Jazzwise.
