Starting at the 45 Minute mark. Its called La Percusion (apologies I dont know how to post with accent marks) and the vocalist is Idania Valdés. Its propulsive rhythmic Cuban dance music.
But in these times of isolation, are there any tracks that you can listen to over and over? Alcohol aided perhaps.
Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears: I like it so much, I learned to play it.
I’m Not In Love - 10CC
Id add those two to my list as well. Every time I hear Everybody it reminds me of Real Genius with Val Kilmer, a fun 80s film.
There are more than a couple. Most, if not all, have lengthy instrumental parts. “Dreams” by the Allman Bros, and “Light My Fire” by The Doors are two examples. Just love Duane’s guitar, and the guitar and keyboards in The Doors song. Really appreciate Ray Manzarek’s work in the studio.
The entire Brazileiro album by Sergio Mendes. Just the opening “Fanfara” will get you moving.
Good choices. Chefguy, you may enjoy this about the making of 10cc’s song:
Some songs I come back to repeatedly: 1) BOC/Don't Fear the Reaper 2) Patti Smith/Because the Night 3) Boston/More than a Feeling 4) Todd Rundgren/Hello, It's Me 5) Harry Nilsson/Without You 6) Badfinger/Day After Day 7) Golden Earing/Twilight Zone 8) ABC/Look of Love 9) Rolling Stones/Paint It, Black 10) Pete Townshend/Let My Love Open the DoorI’ll stop now.
I’ve needed positive, upbeat tunes… so I’ve been searching for bands I liked decades ago, and finding tracks I’ve never heard. Mostly on YouTube.
So, for me, lots of obscure Badfinger, young Neil Young…like his band with Rick James!, David Gilmour (with Crosby and Nash…), lots of ska, proto-reggae and dub… which is not dubstep.
And early early Bowie (“I Dig Everything” is optimistic and soooo cool…)
John Prine’s “Lake Marie.”
Supremes/Temptations’s “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me.”
The Rolling Stones’s “Dandelion” and “She’s So Cold.”
Petula Clark’s “Don’t Sleep in the Subway.”
Paul Brady’s “Arthur McBride.”
Bob Dylan’s “Desolation Row.”
The Association’s “Along Comes Mary.”
Richard and Linda Thompson’s “Hokey Pokey.”
Off the top of my head.
Three songs I will NEVER turn off if and when they play on the radio:
All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
Hush - Deep Purple
Born to Be Wild - Steppenwolf
There are others, of course, but these three rise above them all.
…and The Replacements’s “Alex Chilton.”
Oh HELL yas.
A casual knowledge of the musical “Hair” would lead you to believe that “Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In” is the prelude/fugue that the composer* wrote and intended. But it is just a pastiche for top 40 radio.
The musical actually ends with The Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In) which is one of the most fascinating and powerful songs you will ever hear. I’ve listened to it hundreds of times over the years.
Anyone who doesn’t get up and groove to this song should not be trusted.
Thanks, I had already seen that video. It was an amazing creation when it was first made, and it continues to be the model for modern sound mixing.
With vocals: Like a Stone by Audioslave
