More #music this week. Bert Jansch's work influenced many artists, especially Jimmy Page, Mike Oldfield, Paul Simon, Pete Hawkes, Nick Drake, Donovan, and Neil Young. He received two Lifetime Achievement Awards at the BBC Folk Awards: one, in 2001, for his solo achievements and the other, in 2007, as a member of Pentangle. He sadly passed away in 2011. #Saturday#Jukebox https://youtu.be/RqjUWJtH88c?si=5BGkOQxZmymGYRfR
Swedish band Goat, which I absolutely love. The alternative and experimental fusion music group originates—according to its own publicity—from Korpilombolo, Norrbotten County. The band started playing music when they were children, as part of a local community tradition, and there have been many incarnations of Goat who have recorded over the last "30 or 40 years". Also no one actually knows their identity! #jukebox https://youtu.be/pFRO5nc70to?si=vz2eWlXnwU8Ci4dX
Omar Sosa’s absorption in Africa extends to matters spiritual – he is, for example, a practitioner of the Afro-Cuban religion known as Santería which has a pantheon of saints known as orishas.
Listening to folk singer Vashti Bunyan's Train Song.
She began her career in the mid-1960s and released a debut album, Just Another Diamond Day, in 1970. The album sold very few copies and Bunyan, discouraged, abandoned her musical career. By 2000, her album had acquired a cult following; it was re-released and Bunyan recorded more songs, initiating the second phase of her musical career after a gap of thirty years.
