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.

Guadalupe Plata "Tormenta" from their fourth album "Guadalupe Plata" released in 2015 on Everlasting Records.

On 9-11-01 Michael walked outside to get some fresh air. He looked up at his flagpole and this song came to him.

In Huntington Beach they try to play rock& roll, disco, country, classical and rap but only one style of music can ever be heard.
