I guess I could bore ya'll with today's non-events, but I'm chosing instead to jut down my thoughts about music. Well, not just any music. If you've been reading this LJ lately, you'll know I discovered the Rosenberg Trio - by sheer chance.
I've found out in the meantime that they're a Dutch trio, of Sinti (Gipsy) origin, which might explain their incredible musicality if that is a word in English... I've found quite a few songs where they performed with other performers, such as Django Reinhardt, Herman van Veen, who both are brilliant artists, and well known in their home countries. I remember having a record of Herman van Veen in German when I was a kid, and I loved it dearly, and I still love his music to this day. His voice is beautiful - think about a singing Snape, you have Herman van Veen. :-)
Anyways, I just found a song where the Rosenberg Trio performed with Paco de Lucia - Boy is that a potent song! It's called 'Medley', and it is absolutely out of this world. Between that one and 'Querer' (also by Rosenberg), I don't need any other songs, honestly. Harmonic, perfect, triggering all kinds of emotions, 'feel good' for sure, it is simply incredible. Whilst the Paco de Lucia one starts with this really simple drum and guitar which any idiot could recreate, 'Querer' starts off with equally simple tones, but totally different... Oh *groan*, just go and listen and you'll know what I mean.
I made our friend Peter listen to Querer tonight and he immediately recognized the tango rhythm, which I had not even realised, after listening to it about a hundred times, but he was right, of course. It is true tango. Wah! Pearle, if you want that song to listen to, let me know and I'll happily send it your way! And well, the Medley is just as sensual, although in a different way... Gotta love that Gipsy music! :-) Must go download some Al di Meola (spelling?) next...
