#SessionLive avec avec le groupe franco-burkinabé Kananayé et le percussionniste français Roscius pour la sortie No Fala B. Nos premiers invités sont le groupe Kananayé pour la sortie de l'album KananayéDans les rues du Burkina Faso, résonne à tout bout de champ « ka nana ye », qui signifie « c'est pas facile », tout en sous-entendant que ça va aller. Avec l'album Kananayé, dont le titre reprend cette philosophie populaire, ça ne peut qu'aller. Son multiculturalisme fondateur, ses paroles conscientes, ses traditions enchevêtrées et son ancrage contemporain sont même des propriétés indispensables par les temps qui courent, alors que l'optimisme est devenu une vertu de survie. C'est pas facile, mais ça va aller. À condition de s'en donner les moyens bien sûr, en enjambant les frontières quand d'autres veulent les fermer. Clotilde Rullaud, Abdoulaye Traore, Achille Nacoulma, Seydou Diabate et Boubacar Djiga, les auteurs de Kananayé, s'y emploient.Kananayé a été enregistré par Peter Soldan aux Dada Studios à Bruxelles, par Kaskade au Studio Hanou à Bobo-Dioulasso, puis mixé et masterisé à New York. Il est formé de sept compositions originales, en plus d'une reprise du traditionnel américain Sea Lion Woman que sublima Nina Simone. De la ballade à la transe, raffinées et lumineuses, ces chansons se projettent dans les musiques actuelles tout en étant profondément enracinées. Le projet tisse les fils de plusieurs traditions et tresse les pratiques rurales séculaires avec les tendances des grandes métropoles modernes. Tantôt vibrant, poignant ou festif, toujours solaire, l'album respire la joie que ses participants éprouvent de jouer ensemble. Mais le groupe est aussi foncièrement militant, puisque ses cinq membres proclament leur multiculturalisme et célèbrent la beauté des métissages. Ils revendiquent aussi la liberté des artistes du monde entier de se déplacer, de se rencontrer et de créer, à une époque où la délivrance des visas est entravée par des politiques nationalistes. Décidément, « ka nana ye » ! C'est pas facile, mais ça va aller.► Titres interprétés dans le grand studio Sea Lion Woman / Were Were Mousso Live RFI Garibou, extrait de l'album Faso de Nous Live RFILine Up : Seydou 'Kanazoe' Diabate (balafon, percussions, voix), Clotilde Rullaud (voix, flûte), Abdoulaye 'Debademba' Traore (guitares), Boubacar Djiga (kunde, percussions) et Achille Nacoulma (batterie, percussions, voix)Son : Mathias Taylor, Benoît Letirant, Camille Roch► Album Kananayé (TZIG'ART - Believe – Socadisc 2024)Bandcamp - YouTubePuis, nous recevons le percussionniste et compositeur Roscius, de son vrai nom William Serfass pour la sortie de No Fala BLe multi-instrumentiste William Serfass sort No Fala B sous le nom de Roscius (son nom quand il compose de la musique instrumentale). No Fala B c'est le titre d'une histoire d'amour. Un deuil s'ensuit souvent d'un coup de cœur, celui-ci, composé à coup de baguettes. Entre palindrome et anagramme, on peut comprendre « ne parlant pas le B » en mi-portugais-brésilien, mi-anglais. No Fala B comme miroir de BALAFON, cette percussion chromatique faite main au Burkina Faso à l'aide de « bois de sang » ou de « bois de cœur ». Instrument au centre de cette pièce musicale d'une heure, divisée en 13 morceaux instrumentaux, percussifs et cinématographiques. B, c'est donc la représentation de ce qui nous est étranger. On ne le comprend pas, on ne sait pas en jouer de manière traditionnelle, mais on en tombe quand même amoureux. On l'écoute, on se l'approprie. « No Fala », comme un coup de gueule, un coup de poing, c'est politiquement engagé, et avec B, on traverse les mondes, les genres, les styles, dans une acoustique vivante, on recherche, on expérimente, parfois, on trouve quelque chose, quelqu'un, c'est dur et fragile, comme la communication sans les mots. À moins que B soit en fait le prénom d'une personne… Dont on ne parle pas la langue…Après une décennie passée entre Londres et des tournées internationales, à collecter des percussions rares et faites à la main ; et ces derniers temps concentré sur la composition de musique de film, séries et documentaires, l'artiste percussionniste non conforme Roscius est de retour, avec un disque instrumental entièrement créé autour d'un balafon chromatique. Un voyage musical mélancolique d'abord, une mélodie tribale, qui invite à la méditation, au mouvement, à la danse, puis envolée rythmique et cinématographique, transcendante, instrumentale, percussive et inspirante.Titres joués : Burial, Grit, Stone Rose et Incelusive► Album No Fala B (Nomadic Recordings 2025) Roscius - YouTube - BandcampRéalisation Hadrien Touraud

Nästan 300 kvinnor avrättades för att vara i lag med djävulen under häxprocesserna i 1600-talets Sverige. Hur kunde det ske och vad representerar Häx-gestalten i kulturen idag? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I den aktuella boken ”Häxor: När satans raseri svepte in över Sverige” berättar författaren Cecilia Düringer och illustratören Pompe Hedengren om den masshysteri som under åtta år rasade i landet, ”Det stora oväsendet”. DAGENS HÄXA – EN SYMBOL FÖR FRIGÖRELSE OCH UPPRORHäxan är också en rollfigur som frekvent dykt upp populärkulturen – ibland som en ondskefull gestalt, men ofta som en representant för frigörelse och uppror. Samtal med filmkritiker Joakim Silverdal. JAZZENS GEOPOLITIK – SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D'ETAT I den Oscarsnominerade dokumentären ”Soundtrack to a coup d'etat” berättas historien om kalla krigets koloniala kamp genom ett prisma av den tidens stora jazzmusiker – Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Nina Simone.

Earlier this year, the world lost a giant. We here at ATTT HQ are big fans of artists. Artists, complicated and strange so they may seem, are the lifeblood of creativity and man-and-woman-made joy on this bleak planet of ours. In the realm of film & television, David Lynch is in the pantheon of artistic creators, especially when you consider how expertly he incorporated music in his output. Here in Top Ten Songs From The Works Of David Lynch, we're joined by longtime friend of the pod, the immaculate Matt Dinan. We had a blast going through The Master's catalog and highlighting some of our favorite Lynchian musical moments. Picks 10-6 are revealed here in Part 1. If you've never seen the trailer for Matt's indie short film After The Flesh, give it a look see:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APlUmuDuqs4And don't forget to visit the LA Frankenstein YouTube channel for general Dinan-ness:https://www.youtube.com/@LA_FrankensteinWe've lowered our prices, but not our standards over at the ATTT Patreon!

Every year about this time there's a quick burst of blossom, a promise of renewal and that first pitch of the national pastime. I don't know about you but it's my favorite time of year, a time when winter's cold is shut down and we've got that Spring Fever. This week's show will take time out for a couple sets celebrating and remembering baseball's past through music with the likes of The Treniers, Danny Kaye, and Dr. John with some early rapping from Mel Allen of all people. And that's just the half of it because the fever goes beyond the diamond: we'll share songs of April love with Shirley Jones, Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White with Perez Prado, Nina Simone, Martha Tilton, and a run of classic country with Johnny Horton, Sons of the Pioneers and the Sons of the San Joaquin. From stickball to kite-flying to the first frisbees of the year in the local park. Let's get away from it all.

Omnivore Recordings co-founder and four-time Gramny-winning producer Cheryl Pawelski has figured out how to do what she loves for a living. She went from obsessing about music in Milwaukee to having great adventures in the "floater pool" at Capitol Records in Los Angeles. With stints at Rhino and Concord as well, she oversaw ambitious reissues by, among others, the Band, Big Star, the Smithereens, the Beach Boys, Pat Benatar, Nina Simone and the Miles Davis Quintet. Her long association with Wilco has included deluxe boxes for Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (which won a Grammy) and, earlier this year, A Ghost Is Born. She won another Grammy for the 2023 7-CD set Written In Their Soul: The Stax Songwriter Demos. She recounts it all with the passion of a fan, even as she deals with the challenges of running a record label and the recent loss of her Altadena home in the Southern California wildfires.

(S4 Ep 17) Nina Simone- Sings the Blues (RCA)Released 1967, Recorded December 19-January 5, 1967Nina Simone Sings the Blues is a powerful, emotionally raw album that marked a significant shift in Nina Simone's career. Her first release with RCA Victor showcases her deep connection to the blues tradition, drawing influence from legends like Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday. With tracks like "Do I Move You?" and "Backlash Blues," inspired by Langston Hughes, Simone's music captures the racial tensions and personal struggles of the 1960s. Although it didn't chart highly, the album's authenticity and emotional depth solidified her place as one of America's greatest musical voices. The album blends jazz, blues, gospel, and soul, with Simone's poignant piano work and powerful vocals leading the way. Tracks like "I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl" and "Real Real” showcase her mastery of the genre and her unapologetic, bold musical style, influencing future artists like Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill.Signature Tracks: "My Man's Gone Now," "Backlash Blue," "I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl."

It's a good thing ANOHNI and I decided to leave the cameras turned off for the interview included in episode 118 of the LSQ podcast, because there were moments when she was talking --about her creative process, about using her voice and her music as a survival strategy, about what it felt like to grow up as a trans femme amidst the violence of patriarchy -- that I was nearly in tears, so moved by the way she described her experience. And since crying while interviewing is as cringe as "crying in baseball," it was a relief not to be seen in those moments. It was fascinating to hear ANOHNI's story of discovering her musical spirit as a child, motivated by a desire to reveal feminine emotion and power in a way that she felt her mother was not allowed to, and to learn how she developed her creative process from there. ANOHNI talks about drawing inspiration from artists such as Kate Bush, Boy George, Marc Almond, Alison Moyet, Nina Simone, Ray Charles, Diamanda Galas and more, and how she has learned to adapt musical forms to suit her voice (both the literal voice and the symbolic voice). She also shares about her relationship with her mentor, the late Lou Reed, how greatly he encouraged her early in her career, and what it was like to recently perform some of his music live for the first time since he passed. You can keep up with ANOHNI here. This is also the first video episode of the LSQ podcast, with awesome illustrations and animation crafted by Jess Rotter and Andrew Deselm. Thanks to them for the wonderful work!
Right now, surviving in Nigeria feels like a full-time job. Prices keep rising—food, transport, rent, even data—while incomes stay the same. People are struggling, and the silence from those in power is deafening.In this episode of The Artiste Hangout Podcast, we tap into the #30DayRantChallenge, breaking down what's really happening and why artistes can't afford to stay silent. You'll hear Nina Simone's powerful words on the duty of an artist, the raw frustration from ItsBobby's viral rant, and even some comic relief from Shakelizy—because let's be real, if we don't laugh, we might just break.This is more than a conversation—it's a reality check.Disclaimer: Audio clips from Nina Simone, ItsBobby, and Shakelizy Comedy are used for discussion only—I don't own the rights to them.
The “I”s have it! And Lightnin' Licks Radio has the “I”s. Ten of them to be exact. Jay and Deon discuss their favorite vinyl records filed under the letter I. It's intimate and intense. It's immersive and inspiring though, ironically, they're idiots.--In the early 1970s, legendary collaborator and self-proclaimed non-musician Brian Eno famously designed a deck of 115 cards containing elliptical imperatives to spark in the user creative connections unobtainable through regular modes of work. He called his creation "Oblique Strategies." For the past half century, countless artists and professionals across the globe have benefited from utilizing the oblique strategies technique when attempting to overcome a lull in creative output. In 2024, idiotic, introverted award-winning* hobby podcasters and self-proclaimed Lightnin' Lickers Jay and Deon found themselves uninspired when contemplating the potential themes of their upcoming thirty-fifth episode. Together, they decided... to default back to the alphabet. Because they have a reasonably solid grasp of the alphabet and how it works.

Fawziyya was born and raised in the heart of Philadelphia. She has been heavily influenced by the Philly music scene, which has changed over the years. Building long-lasting musical relationships on the scene and a pure love of music keeps her going daily. Her deepest inspirations are Nina Simone and Erykah Badu, and this is reflected in her music: a funk-infused blend of jazz, blues, and soul with anthemic lyrics calling for social change and self-transformation. Fawziyya started on the Philadelphia music scene in 2012 by performing with various bands and dipping her feet in the music. She performed, recorded, and wrote several songs with global house music collective World Town Sound System alongside Grammy award-winning percussionist Pablo Batista (Alicia Keys/Grover Washington Jr). For the last year Fawziyya has been hard at work readying her new EP, featuring her original songs and an array of Philly talent. The new songs are produced by Philadelphia's legendary Chuck Treece, who remixed songs for Amy Grant and Sting and played bass on "The River of Dreams" by Billy Joel. Trap Rabbit's Logan Roth has co-arranged the songs and added his distinct sound to the tracks. Come along on this journey; explore this Philly songstress's mind through song and sound.

Hon drömde om att bli USA:s första svarta kvinnliga konsertpianist, men blev något mycket större. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det är helt smockfullt framför den provisoriska scenen i Montgomery, Alabama. Tusentals medborgarrättsaktivister har vandrat hit från Selma, för att protestera mot de amerikanska raslagarna. Det är beväpnade poliser överallt och på avstånd hörs ljudet av helikoptrar. – There were those who said we wouldn't get here.CBS News sänder när Martin Luther King håller ett tal.– There were those who said we would only get here over their dead bodies. Well, all the world today knows that we are here today. And we are standing before the forces of power in the state of Alabama. And we ain't gonna let no one tell us to turn around.Året är 1965 och den senaste tiden har engagemanget för medborgarrättsrörelsen i USA intensifierats, men så även våldet, diskrimineringen och förtrycket av svarta. När Martin Luther King kliver av scen är det dags för Nina Simone att ta plats. Ilskan hon känner vibrerar i bröstet. På kort tid har hon blivit en av den svarta medborgarrättsrörelsens allra starkaste förgrundsgestalter. Allt började med låten hon skrev efter att fyra svarta flickor dödades av Ku Klux Klan i ett bombattentat i Birmingham. Inför 40.000 personer sjunger hon det som ingen vågat säga tidigare: Mississippi goddam!Medverkande: Josette Bushell-Mingo och Nils HanssonProgrammet är gjort av Alexandra Sannemalm i början av 2025Producent och programledare Joanna KorbutiakExekutiv producent Lars TruedsonSlutmix Fredrik NilssonP3 Musikdokumentär produceras av Tredje Statsmakten MediaLjudklippen i programmet kommer från JET Magazine (1983) HARDtalk (BBC, 1999), What happened, Miss Simone?

Nikki Giovanni was one of the greatest poets of her generation and it was an honour to sit with her for a special episode of The Last Bohemians, recorded in Spring 2024 in London, while she was promoting what would become her final anthology, Poems: 1968-2020 (Penguin Classics). When we saw she was in town, we jumped at the chance to speak with her and we're very grateful to have been granted an audience.A poet, author and activist, Nikki was considered a key figure in the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 70s, which ran parallel to the Civil Rights and Black Power movements in America. It included notable writers and artists like Audre Lorde, Maya Angelou and another of our Last Bohemians, Betye Saar, many of whom she counted as friends. Just imagine that dinner party!Nikki was born in 1943 in Knoxville, Tennessee, grew up in Ohio, and self-published her first two books in 1968. In the 70s, she was selling out huge concert venues and started blending gospel music with spoken word, on albums like Truth is On The Way, foreshadowing the birth of hip-hop. Her poems spoke boldly of justice and liberation but had love and joy at their centre, and she released over 30 books of them.It's strange and sad to speak about Nikki Giovanni in the past tense: she passed away on 9 December 2024, aged 81, of complications from lung cancer, just before this edit was finished.We've sat on this episode for a while, unsure what to do with it and when to release it to the world. But we think you should have it in time for International Women's Day 2025. Since 2019, we've either launched a series or a one-off around this time and felt that, with everything going on in the world at the moment, it's the moment to send this special conversation out there.And wow, does Nikki have some things to say, as she discusses becoming a success, her famous friendships with Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone, the power of anger, her self-care routine and why poetry is a serious business indeed.////CREDITS////This episode is hosted and exec-produced by Kate Hutchinson, with audio production and editing by Kit Callin. It was recorded at Spiritland Studios, London.The poem you hear is 'Serious Poems' by Nikki Giovanni, part of the anthology book Poems: 1968-2020, out now on Penguin Classics.The music used is 'Only Instrumental' by Broke For Free.A huge thank you to Juliette Morrison at Penguin and Virginia Fowler for helping to make this interview happen.

Episode nine finds Beyoncé at home in 1957, ironing, scrubbing, washing dishes in bright blue rubber gloves, and drinking so many martinis that we see our Stepford wife glitching and, finally, breaking. "Why Don't You Love Me" is as much Beyoncé's take on her relationship to culture as on 50 years of American matrimony. Our analysis takes you from Los Angeles to Rio de Janeiro, with special help from Betty Friedan, Mr. Clean, Solange, Nina Simone, James Brown, and, naturally, B.B. Homemaker herself.

Artist. Poet. Friend. This week, we celebrate the music, life, and legacy of Leonard Cohen with someone who knew him well - Perla Batalla. Grammy-nominated Singer/songwriter Perla Batalla first came to prominence as a backing singer for Leonard Cohen during his 1988 I'm Your Man tour and on the 1992 album The Future, in the process forging a deep friendship. With Cohen's encouragement, Perla stepped out as an artist in her own right, releasing a beautifully diverse range of magnificent albums such as Mestiza and Discoteca Batalla, performing at the world's best venues, co-writing and appearing in two one-woman shows, honored by UN and Focus on the Masters. But she has always kept the words and works of Leonard Cohen close to her heart. Her latest album, A Letter to Leonard Cohen: Tribute to a Friend, is her second album of her unique interpretations of Cohen's music, following 2005's Bird on the Wire. It was released the day before what would have been his 90th birthday. Leonard Norman Cohen was born in Quebec on September 21, 1934. Spending the latter part of the ‘50s and first half of the ‘60s as a published poet and author, he shifted his focus to songwriting. From 1967 to 1971, he established himself as a major musical talent with the trilogy of classic albums Songs of Leonard Cohen, Songs from a Room, and Songs of Love and Hate, as well as interpretations by the likes of Judy Collins, Nina Simone, Joe Cocker, and Roberta Flack. He would continue to record and tour sporadically throughout the ‘70s and early ‘80s to widespread acclaim and with some commercial success in Europe. In the late ‘80s & early ‘90s, Cohen gained a new underground audience through his two synth-driven productions, I'm Your Man and The Future, prominent soundtrack placements, a beloved album of interpretations by Jennifer Warnes, Famous Blue Raincoat, and the 1991 high profile tribute album, I'm Your Fan, where a who's who of alternative music disciples like REM, Ian McCulloch, Pixies, James, The House of Love, Robert Forster, Nick Cave, and John Cale paid their respects to the man. The latter artist, John Cale, performed a breathtaking piano version of a song from 1984's Various Positions called “Hallelujah,” in an arrangement that would be borrowed and transcribed to guitar by Jeff Buckley a few years later, which further elevated Leonard Cohen's already mythical status. After spending the latter half of the ‘90s in a monastery as an ordained Buddhist monk, Leonard Cohen returned in the twenty first century to finish what he started, adding six additional studio albums to his catalogue, including the album released weeks before his November 7, 2016 death, You Want It Darker, and the posthumous followup completed by his son Adam, 2019's Thanks For The Dance, as well as multiple live albums, both archival and contemporary. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Greenwich Village is one of America's great music capitals, an extraordinary distinction for an old neighborhood of tenements, townhouses, dive bars and a college campus.So many musical titans of jazz, folk, pop and rock and roll got their start in the Village's many small nightclubs and coffeehouses, working alongside artists, writers, actors and comedians to create an American cultural mecca unlike any other.And it was here, on January 24, 1961, that a nineteen-year-old young man from Minnesota entered the fray -- Robert Zimmerman, otherwise known as Bob Dylan.The Village completely transformed the young folk singer into the voice of a generation, working out his transformation on the minuscule stages of the Gaslight, Cafe Wha? and Gerde's Folk City.But this show isn't strictly about Dylan's ascent to greatness, but the neighborhood -- the people, the streets, the basements! -- which cultivated artists like Dylan (and Billie Holiday and Nina Simone and Pete Seeger and Barbra Streisand and Joan Baez and so on.)PLUS: Bob Moses and Jane Jacobs stop by for a hootenanny (and a protest)Visit the website for a list of music credits, research sources and further listening ideasJoin us on Patreon for extra podcasts and lots of other goodiesShare your love of the city's history with a Bowery Boys Walks gift certificate!
