Random Global Music Sundays

[johncorrigan]

It's Tarantella Sunday. I heard this somewhere on BBC Radio 3 during the week, but can't recall where - anyway I shazzed it, so had a look for in on YT. Apparently it tells the tale of a conflict among the fish in the Bay of Naples. Fantastic performance.

Happy Random Global Music Sunday.

Not so random as today is National Bagpipe day... (I can't tell you how glad I am to beat JC to this)

(thank you Late Junction and I hope you survive the cull in April in some form...)

For me, one of the most irritating programmes on radio is Radio 4's 'Add to Playlist' with me, Cerys Matthews, and me, Jeffrey Boakye - . However, on Friday evening I resisted the urge to switch that dial when I detected the dulcets of Eliza Carthy guesting on there, and glad I did. Her part in the chain of songs was this one, collected by Alan Lomax in a bar in Genoa in the mid-fifties:
'La Partenza (The Parting)' by Trallaleri of Genoa.

Hard to believe its all guys singing. Enjoy a sunny Sunday.

We haven't had a spot of Scott Walker on a Sunday for a while - I heard the very moving 'Farmer in the City' on the radio yesterday, from his record 'Tilt'. Such a voice!

Never had you down for a Scott Walker listener. This is a good track.

I enjoy a slice every so often, Global, but I tend not to want a whole cake, if you catch my drift?

I'm happy with crumbs...
