Silly, funny, memorable tune by Jacques Dutronc. Psychedelic video too!

Beautiful couple, beautiful music. Mali is winning when it comes to timeless, haunting tunes! I saw them play at Troxy in London a while back... great gig, great venue!

Man like Henri Salvador was way ahead of his temps!

Sweet chanson d'amour by Snarky Puppy & Magda Giannikou.

Well, I don't live in a tropical country right now... but I'm going to correct that very soon and live in the tropics for the rest of my vida! And what.

Know your classics!

This song is like a Mafia movie, but with shellfish. Random fact of the day: The country Cameroon derives its name from camarões, meaning 'shrimps', so called by the 15th-century Portuguese explorer Fernando Po who named the River Wouri Rio dos Camarões ('shrimp river'), after the many shrimps....

What would you be, if you had no fear...?

One of my favourite songs of all time. Check out the documentary on Tim Maia, it is incredible!! & hysterically funny. Viva Tijuca!

Ohh sim sim sim, ohhh não não não...! Any capoeristas out there?

No such thing as too much Jorge Ben Jor!
