Rock 'n' roll black

Facing a movie - who knows how many movies have me up? - Only two issues that concern me the truth: they are the characters watched from near and far, how fast, quick or slow, are staging the situations they are tormented subjects? What new relationships are weaving between people, or between people and things, how fast and how far they are they shown us?
I must admit in the sense that the staging overexcited succession plans treated with electroconvulsive m'indiffèrent always more. To show me more sensitive to the time of thought, slow thinking, to life as it happens, my preference is for filmmakers like works that leave the fabric weave fabric, with things happen on time, their own time.

Jimmy Reed, Big Boss Man

With music, it's the same. Short-circuit bore me, freezes me hysteria, frenzy get tired. I love the languid rhythms, cadences indolent, the "mid-tempo" stretched to laziness. So too does the Jimmy Reed blues , this rock 'n' roll black - nice expression I'm Peg Leg Odell - slower, less edgy and angry than whites. In six discs of the first magnitude, The Vee-Jay Years (1953-1965), Jimmy Reed leaves a legacy of hilly dormant volcanoes where the fire still smoldering as much as disease may smolder and revolutions. In revolution precisely Odds and Ends (1957) puts the blues backwards, ass over head, and gives his music an edge on what can, in these same records, s' listen at the time. Absolute class, definitive Jimmy Reed: go ahead and slowly everyone, make a Copernican revolution that saw the arrival of the turtle before the hare, low behind the strong overcome the dark white.

Royal Banquet

laugh willingly confess to these musicians, mostly black, that n 'y not go around the bush for s'introniser "King" of a particular musical genre developed to equip related accessories. Without ignoring as far as this self-proclaimed monarchy did not testify unless a kind of narcissism black, at once cheerful and derisory, on a need-sized find a place on earth, good as that 'to do, because it is a hope of each claim which can also be expressed through some form of elegance and distinction - they also own the black - made of candor and to nearly .

Clifton Chenier

is the case, for example, Clifton Chenier , "King of Zydeco" properly capped, during his concerts, a custom ring that leaves no doubt as to his rank. But no one in this sense seems to have gone further than Solomon Burke, who with a lot of scepter and crown, throne and Ermine, has continued to play James Brown - who in his eyes had to figure absolute wilderness - the coveted title of "King of Soul".

Solomon Burke

Unexpectedly, nothing here is usurped. The table of the music was wide open. And they feasted. And by royal decree, we have entertained lavishly. At the rate these rulers who continue to reign unchallenged we owe much. Sad melodies and cheerful one day the next day, songs to give life to our most cherished dreams: to be happy, loved, take part in the beauty of the world, renewed its promises.

And as the King is not a subject, the banquet is here , feast, there .

Mea Culpa

Once is not custom, it will be today music called "techno" musical continent by itself which I do not know much except that she has probably shattered illusion, unique to people my age - my complete profile will tell you more about it - which meant that until then, we could - as long as we like - have a panoramic view of popular western music. In other words, we could have a more or less precisely what is played here and there, from Europe to America. Based on a computer domesticated, on modes of production become solitary and private, techno, even more than rap, this illusion has reduced to zero and caused an explosion in the heart of popular music at the point of making an expanding universe with no one - I think - does now measuring instruments.

After long understood techno and its derivatives as a supreme art of a sample or copy and paste ", after thinking it announced the end a world, that of the performer, I finally understood, not without evil, that far from marking the triumph of the computer on the instrument, it definitely establishes the computer as a tool.

Medicine for all and nap at will

past few weeks, every French person is strongly encouraged to choose a doctor. To have occasionally given to this subject, many friends, friends or acquaintances that this injunction is an embarrassment and do not know what hands to entrust their young and old sores. To remove this thorn from their foot and reassure everyone, I would recommend them to rely the care of Dr. Nico , healer of bodies and practitioners whose soul balms and potions can overcome any disorder. I already hear - the excited, the eager, hypochondriacs - ask where has the good doctor, he is head of clinical service which he heads and which hospital. But to be honest with you, his cabinet is not easy to locate. He must put the obstinacy, is to be clever. Do not we say that healing depends mainly from the desire or the will to heal, only the patient holds the key?

Doctor Nico on the city and in the studio

However, to avoid giving the impression that you send in a complete stranger, know that Nicolas Kassanda, said Dr. Nico, born in the Belgian Congo in 1939, was, in the 60 internal to the African Jazz and chief medical officer at African Fiesta, formations in which he brilliantly with his colleagues, and Franco Vicky . Lifelong friends, allies and rivals, they have ceased, moved by a brotherly rivalry, to meet, get lost and end up in those few bands who have renewed and modernized Congolese music. Thus, do we find all three in a sublime two-volume compilation, Slows classic Congolese music , which - building on this principle that Borgesian an article, a text, a conference open to everyone of us - I have been advised by the indispensable Louis Skorecki while holding chronicled in the journal Archives World , now defunct. Prevent without much further ado: Slows these classic Congolese music changed my perception of music and, following a lengthy trial and error, finally put me on the path I could truly love.

titles to follow are the ballads, dance now gone out of fashion when it is not purely and viciously mocked. One can only regret it! Whispered by wizards of the guitar, Congolese addition, here is the slow nonchalance peculiar turns into lifestyle, and draws on the fly the highest praise that is of the slowness and languor. It's not all. Should write an essay, less than admiration felt about the game and its great African guitarists, a fluidity none, ductile, as the sun nap in summer on the veranda.
