Lotte Lenya & Kurt Weill - The seven deadly sins

El bueno de Paulo no tiene nada que hacer ante este nuevo "corralazo".
Y es que llevo enganchado al disco de Kurt Weill y Lotte Lennya toda la semanita. Aquí os coloco The Seven Deadly Sins junto con otras piezas de otras obras, la mayor parte de ellas basadas en libretos de un tal Bertolt Bretch. Muy del gusto tomwaits.
Los datos que siguen, de la wiki:
The Seven Deadly Sins was first performed in the Théatre des Champs-Elysées in Paris on 7 June 1933, with choreography by George Balanchine. The lead roles were played by Lotte Lenya (Anna I) and Tilly Losch (Anna II).Nils Grosch writes that it "was met with bewilderment by the French audience (not just because the work was sung entirely in German). German émigrés living in Paris, however, were enthusiastic and considered it 'a grand evening.'"The production went to London opening at the Savoy Theatre under the title Anna-Anna, on 28 June of the same year. It was revived by Lotte Lenya – Kurt Weill's widow – in the 1950s, however with the main singing part in version transposed to a fourth below its original pitch level which matched Lenya's new lower voice but didn't correspond to Weill's intentions.Another transposed version, down by a full octave, was used by Marianne Faithfull in her recording from 1997.

Paulo Diniz - Paulo Diniz (1974)

Nascido no interior de Pernambuco, foi para Recife trabalhar como crooner e baterista em casas noturnas. Foi locutor e ator de rádio e televisão, em Pernambuco e no Ceará. Em 1964 foi para o Rio de Janeiro, onde trabalhou na Rádio Tupi e passou a compor com mais freqüência. Sua primeira gravação saiu em 1966, com a música "O Chorão". Quatro anos depois lançou dois LPs, e em seguida dedicou-se à tarefa de musicalizar poemas de língua portuguesa de autores como Carlos Drummond de Andrade ("E Agora, José?"), Gregório de Matos ("Definição do Amor"), Augusto dos Anjos ("Versos Íntimos"), Jorge de Lima ("Essa Nega Fulô") e Manuel Bandeira ("Vou-me Embora pra Pasárgada"). Suas músicas foram gravadas por Clara Nunes, Emílio Santiago, Simone e outros. Entre seus sucessos destacam-se "Pingos de Amor", gravado por vários intérpretes, "Canoeiro", "Um Chopp pra Distrair", "I Want to Go Back to Bahia" (uma homenagem a Caetano Veloso, então exilado em Londres) e "Quem Tem um Olho É Rei", todas em parceria com Odibar. from cliquemusic)

Jackson 5 - The ultimate collection

5 muchachos de color 5. Luego uno destiñó, pero su musica permanece. La colección definitiva.

Opus Avantra: Introspezione (1974)

A unique group in the italian scene, Opus Avantra mixed together contemporary classical music with avantgarde and a light progressive rock inflience, giving an original result that's often considered too difficult to listen for straight prog rock ears. Their name was obtained from their three main interests, opera, avantgarde and traditional music.
Formed in Veneto in 1973 around the nucleus of soprano Donella Del Monaco (the niece of famous tenor Mario Del Monaco), pianist-composer Alfredo Tisocco, philosopher Giorgio Bisotto and producer Renato Marengo, and aided in the years by many other musicians, the group released their first album in 1974, Opus Avantra - Donella Del Monaco (often referred to as Introspezione, from the title of the first track) on the collectible Trident label.
Usually considered their most accessible work, the album is built on classical-inspired themes with complex arrangements and dominated by the nice soprano voice of singer Del Monaco and good flute playing, with just an instrumental track, Rituale. The band also had a good live activity promoting their album in Veneto and Rome., en italianprog.com, y en progressive.homestead.com le hacen una entrevista a Donella Del Monaco.

Los Iberos - Todos sus singles y grabaciones para Columbia (1968-1973)

A mi juicio uno de los mejores conjuntos que dió el pop patrio en los años 60. Puede que fueran en parte un producto de consumo, aunque no cuajó definitivamente, pero tienen un puñado de impresionantes canciones que deberían hacer sonrrojar al actual mainstream nacional. Estas fueron todas sus grabaciones.

J.Colis - El futuro ya no es lo que era (2006)

Arrived at this point “The future no longer it is what was” can be recognized from already like one of the best compositiv and creative works of Colis and company. Arrived in a while sweet and loaded from luminosity, the album, within very taken care of wrapper, distills poetry and emotional by the four flanks blooming between verses of Colis a golden one of relative optimism that is opposed, partly, with the tone of its previous compositions. Hurra for the artist. Bush take here ando dolars is a bitch

Die Knödle: Die Noodle (1995)

Die Knödel have redefined Austrian blasmusik (brass-band music), a genre that seems to be caged in commercial kitsch settings reinforcing the German/Austrian cliché of lederhosen boys and dirndl girls constantly drinking beer and eating sauerkraut. No serious music lover ever expected this type of music to have some creative potential, and rather than reviving an artistic corpse, Die Knödel have fathered a sort of post-modern blasmusik for the new millenium. There are traditional rhythms of Austrian folk-music which lend the base for all sorts of exciting sound experiments involving the extensive band lineup of wind and string instruments. vía The Undercover Man

Albert Kuvezin&Yat-Kha: Recovers (2005)

First heralded by Brian Eno after judging a 1990 musical festival in Kazakhstan, Yat-Kha have been enduring purveyors of traditional khoomei (throatsinging) sounds of its native land of Tuva in South Siberia, while being aware of the western worlds of rock and experimental rock (claiming Deep Purple and Sonic Youth as faves). Leader/bassist vocalist Albert Kuvezin has steered his group into much acclaim over the years and to much larger audience, thanks to hooking up with the Chieftains' management.(...) Their new disc Re-Covers finds them taking on songs by Hank Williams, Kraftwerk, the Stones and more." vía WFMU's Beware of the Blog

Tokyo Kid Brothers: Golden Bat (1970)

Monster Japanese cult underground experimental rock. Also known under the title “Golden Bat”, this was Tokyo Kid Brothers first album. Almost all of the albums they churned out during the late seventies and eighties are completely crap, but their initial period from 1971 till 1973 is just great. Psychedelic Dada-ism, theatrical lysergic pleasures, demented fuzz intersections, wild keyboard playing by Hiro Yanagida (Food Brain, Sato Masahiko & Soundbreakers, Milk Time, etc) demented choruses, female wailing crescendos, rural esoteric fertility rite like incantations, exorcist ritualistic tribal stomping, totally insane one liners, heavy bass shifting, heavy guitar licks, psychedelic mayhem, crazy stage action etc, just one great psyched out cabaret/rock opera recorded live in concert in 1971 and released that same year. vía Mutant Sounds

Nomoto Karia "Karly"

½ years after the release of first album "Karly" (it was this agenda's first announcement), Nomoto Karia finally has a new album coming up. Of course, it is produced by Konishi Yasuharu, and if you ask him what he thinks about it, he'll tell you that all tracks are worth a single cut! Most tracks are at Karly's favorite 135 BPM (the two others are at 130 BPM).

The limited edition packaging will be a thin cardboard sleeve and will include 4 Karly photo cards. Art direction is by Konishi Yasuharu. Orders at Tower and HMV will receive an original sticker. Also orders at Amazon, Tower and HMV online will receive free PC wallpaper. Be sure to pre-order, just in case!

Some track notes: "Bombastic Hip House Band" features Kawanishi Suguru on turntable. "G.T.O." features Anchovies, Karly's all-girl band with herself on drums. "Girls In Love" is a cover of Andreas Dorau sung in Japanese. "Karly's Dance Music" is a mix of Karly's remixes for "Tokyo wa yoru no 7ji" and "jiyūdo.". "asobi." features Arai Toshiya (Mr.comicstore) on guitar.

Crazy Kend Band - 777

You could call the Crazy Ken Band a Japanese version of the Bonzo Dog Band, a British group who in the ’60s who excelled at Pythonesque pop parody. Like the Bonzos, the Crazy Ken Band are great musicians with a wacky comedic sensibility. The band’s music is inspired by the kind of sentimental, slightly kitsch pop that dominated the pre-rock Japanese music scene in the ’50s and ’60s. Bandleader Ken Yokoyama’s songs describe an engagingly sleazy, retro-world of seedy nightclubs, dockside intrigue and shifty demi-mondaine characters – like his hometown of Yokohama before it was tarted up. Songs like “GT Gran Turismo” and “Night For V8 Monsters” describe Yokoyama’s passion for cars, while the “The World of Suzy Wong” pays tribute to a Chinese femme fatale. Another song, “Sharimaru” dscribes Yokoyama’s dealings with a Pakistani used-car dealer while working as a customs inspector. In 2002 Yokoyama quit his day job and became a full-time musician, and that risky decision has paid off, as the band have transcended their cult status and have broken into the mainstream with more and more media exposure. Although their CDs make for great listening, the Crazy Ken Band is best appreciated live. (by Steve McClure en Nippop)

Kiyohoiko Senba And His Haniwa All Stars: In Concert (1991)

Mr. Senba seems to be one of the most successful studio drummers in Tokyo. I sure hope that he is very successful, as I'm sure that the music copyist bills alone of the Haniwa Allstars would bankrupt most small businesses. There are about one hundred people in this band. All on stage at once. 5 or six drummers. A big horn section. A huge section of traditional Japanese instrumentalists. A dozen vocalists. All dressed in pajamas and nurses uniforms. Many of the members are big pop and/or jazz stars in Japan. Senba is the writer-arranger-conductor-madman behind this band. I suppose that the only person that you might compare Senba to in America, in terms of scale of ambition, is Frank Zappa. (Although Senba's music has absolutely nothing to do with Mr. Zappa or his musical interests.) Senba is spectacularly successful with his truly insane, giant, all style-encompassing musical vision. It's too bad you will never ever see this release in any American record shop. Too bad that we are so culture-bound over here.
