Ne Me Quitte Pas as a tango - but ofcourse. Veronika Silva recorded Brel's immortal classic inna tango stylee for her 2006-album Gorda. What a beautiful version! You might know Veronika from the live-shows she did with Gotan Project - a band that tried to fuse dance-beats with tango, which led to a whole bunch of imitators. I liked their first album, but after that they showed (just as their imitators) that the concept had it's limitations. I saw Gotan Project live a couple of times, I remember a show on the North Sea Jazz festival very clearly, it was amazing. But most recent GP-album Lunatico bored me to death. GP never recorded in the studio with Veronika - shame. Now GP's Philippe Cohen-Solal is releasing a solo album as Solal, which explores his country-side. Seems like he got bored with tango-lounge too. [Merci André]
Veronika Silva - Ne Me Quitte Pas
A découvrir, Yael Naïm, chanteuse franco-israelienne. Notamment un single en ce moment "new soul" et en écoute sur son myspace "paris" et une cover surprenante de "toxic" de britney Spears, très loin de le version originale. Vraiment intéressant.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenOk, tant pis ! alors Jill caplan peut-être ?! J'ai vu qu'elle n'était pas sur le blog. Son dernier album passe un peu inaperçu en France, c'est dommage.
