I love this track because it was a big hit during both my trips to Cuba and has a great beat for salsa, but I guess I must have an ear for the pining exile even when I don’t understand the language! It was only when I was researching the lyrics for this post (many thanks to another wordpress blog), that I realised this is yet another tale of exile and of the grass not really being greener on the other side. Gozando en la Habana – David Calzado y su Charanga Habanera ft. The song is an interpretation of a poem by Sheikh Abdelkader Bentobdji, which is dedicated to the Sufi sheikh Abdelkader GIlani (and not, as I originally thought, to Emir Abdelkader el- Jazā’irī, national hero of Algeria and also a disciple of Gilani’s Qadiri sufi order).ĥ. I love lots of Khaled’s songs, but this is a particular favourite, and like Ya Rayah has as historical relevance and broad appeal. I still love the chaabi original, though, and the lyrics have a broad appeal with anyone who has left their hometown for a better life or on other travels and longs to return.Ĭheb Khaled has a massive discography and is huge in France (due to the large Algerian diaspora) but is little known in UK, other than for his hit Aïsha. Given the waves of migration from North Africa into Europe since the mid-20 th century, the appeal among the disaffected youth of immigrant communities made the cover versions of the 90s a sure-fire success, especially in France. This song gained broad appeal when it was covered by Khaled, Rachid Taha and Faudel at their massive Bercy concert which was recorded live for the album 1,2,3 Soleils – a pinnacle of rai music and one of my favourite all-time albums. I'm not sure I'd want to meet the natives, though. And because I’m British, I must love it, surely?! I love the idea that “ua” apparently means both ‘flower’ and ‘kill’ in Swahili. In Japan, sweet milk tea is available warm in cans from vending machines. Each song on her second album, Ametora (love tiger?!), which was huge when I lived in UA’s native Kansai region, is recorded in a different style but each one exhibits her unique voice. At the time there was lots of cutesy pop and Eastern jazz-funk going on, but I loved the way UA made every genre her own. UA was my favourite chart artist when I lived in Japan in the mid-90s. Yes, Bossa Nova can be cheesey, but the Gilbertos and Getz are the real deal.
When I visited Agentina in the early 2000s, all the bars were playing bossa-fied versions of pop classics. I have never been to Brazil and this track was actually my karaoke signature tune when I lived in Japan (despite the unpredictability of whether the English or Portugese version would emerge from the speakers). The Girl from Ipanema – Astrud Gilberto, João Gilberto and Stan Getz What would I want on my MP3 player if I was stranded, and how would those tracks reflect my travels and interactions with other cultures?ġ. This got me thinking about what my desert island discs would be. Mobydick – Lex D Fatema.Maybe being stranded on this desert island off Cuba wouldn't be so bad after all.
