Earlier I was listening to Béla Bartók "String Quartet No. 5", on the record player.

You Tube being amazing, they have all of Bartók's String Quartet's uploaded.

The painting in the background of course, this is Wassily Kandinsky's "Composition VIII" from 1923, Kandinsky's early Bauhaus period....I love Kandinsky, one of my favourite artists.

This is the Allegro from "String Quartet No. 5":



Then I listened to Imarhan, who are Tuareg from Algeria and are on City Slang Records which is owned and run by some friends of our's in Berlin:

City Slang Records

Imarhan

The whole Imarhan album is completely astonishing.

This is Imarhan's song "Tahabort" which is amazing, incredibly intricate guitar work and in general just extraordinary noise, they're on tour throughout Europa this month and also March, we must go and watch them do their thing:



Edited to add comment.

Chico Buarque: "Vai Passar"

describing the samba parade as it passes, with a lament for the staining legacy of slavery that tainted the same streets in times past. Lotta samba going on in Brasil right now, it's Carnaval weekend

How does he shred like that with fingers that big ?

That guitar neck is customized for him or something.

Some stare into the distance, some close their eyes, but all are visibly moved by this tune's brittle beauty
