New arrivals

 

If it's snowing outside and we're sitting in a warm room looking at the fireplace, what kind of music do we listen to?

On a snowy day, we pay attention to some of the new additions that (despite everything) come out and make us feel alive and keep looking and listening to the new!

Today's kaleidoscope is as bright as a colorful ball. Music from different continents and with different messages. Still pulsating and reflecting today. Here is the place to say that you could take different paths - depending on your preferences. We deliberately do not collect the songs in one playlist, because the choices are personal. And for us, the ball looks like this:

For starters, the eternal track of Manu Chao Clandestino from his self-titled album, this time performed by Mexican diva Lila Downs. Our favorite singer over the years, about whom you can expect a separate text.

We continue with the guitar of Thomas Naim, which we discovered recently, here with an interpretation of the play by Jimi Hendrix Cherokee Mist.
Coming up next with a new piece by American singer of French descent Madeleine Peyroux, which rarely shows herself. Today, however, in her last song, she is full of optimism and winks at the holidays.
Here is a new interesting name that we heard during this year's edition of the London Jazz Fest - the Englishman from Bangladesh Sarathy Korwar. A contemporary poet precisely in the style and form of the new age. Poetry or rap - it doesn't matter. Sharp social rhymes and interesting music.
For the finale - Keith Jarrett's magic piano from the ECM "Budapest Concert". A song directly related to the universe, which calms and brings everything together.

This is what our winter globe looks like, which could go in any direction you want - depending on the mood at the moment. This is what the music looks like at the moment - colorful, lively and full of challenges.
