What are you listening to?

Earlier I was listening to Béla Bartók "String Quartet No. 5", on the record player.

You Tube being amazing, they have all of Bartók's String Quartet's uploaded.

The painting in the background of course, this is Wassily Kandinsky's "Composition VIII" from 1923, Kandinsky's early Bauhaus period....I love Kandinsky, one of my favourite artists.

This is the Allegro from "String Quartet No. 5":



Then I listened to Imarhan, who are Tuareg from Algeria and are on City Slang Records which is owned and run by some friends of our's in Berlin:

City Slang Records

Imarhan

The whole Imarhan album is completely astonishing.

This is Imarhan's song "Tahabort" which is amazing, incredibly intricate guitar work and in general just extraordinary noise, they're on tour throughout Europa this month and also March, we must go and watch them do their thing:



Edited to add comment.


I have had a few months absence from this the music thread I started in February 2016, thank you everyone who did not follow suit and have continued posting in it :thup:

Coyote are you posting? Are you tipsy? I was supposed to be in bed but I have had a Martini :smoke:

Weird .. I had the urge to pull out my Ben King version of that song just hours ago, and I followed that with my Aretha Franklin cds; I don't have Aretha's cover of that song on them, though.
