Thanks to our good friend John F who sent us this great version of The Abyssinians – Satta Massagana by Los Miticos Del Ritmo called Satta Massa Cumbia from a few years ago. We’ve never heard this before. Great stuff John!
And thanks also to our mate Gerry Hectic for this horticultural related number. It’s from Fug and it’s called From Little Seeds We Grow (4Hero Folk Soul Remix) and it’s a lovely number with a brilliant Instrumental too.
All these tunes above are perfect for a chilled out weekend in the heat. Keep hydrated!
Thanks to everyone who’ve been sending us their accordion classics since last week’s transmission of WELK.
Thanks to John F. who alerted us to Kimmo Pohjonen. We had no idea that this sort of madness existed, talk about taking the accordion to the next level! We love Kimmo’s get up but don’t think the local allotment committee would allow this sort of gear to be worn on-site especially in this forthcoming heatwave. A great tune by the way.
And he reminded us about this great tune by Les Negresses Vertes a band we here have seen a few years ago but had well forgotten about.
He also mentioned the Grace Jones tune “I’ve seen that face before” a reworking of Astor Piazzolla‘s “Libertango”.
Steve Barker had also said about the maestro Astor Piazzola amongst lots of others (Clifton Chenier, Rocking Sidney, Boozoo Chavis and Amédé Ardoin and many more) which we’ll look into soon. He also mentioned Flaco JImenez and this tune with Ry Cooder.
And last and not least Mark Paytress who sent us this classic and called it “perhaps my fave squeezebox tune of all time” and he may be right! The Three Suns“Delicado”.
Keep on squeezing as they say and thanks to everyone who have got in touch with their recommendations.
Thanks to our mate John F again for passing on another greenhouse classic; “a song to bring us some sunshine” but as he says, “is one tinged with sadness; the late, great Rico Rodriguez playing with the Special AKA who sadly passed away yesterday.” And he’s rightR.I.P. Rico Rodriguez, a true reggae legend.
John sent us this link of a great video funnily enough shot at a legendary Coventry late-night eatery called “Noel’s Cafe,” features a few Coventry music-related celebs and doing a nice bit of dancing, our good friend The Rhythm Doctor who I either forgot or never knew was featured in this. Well I never!
Thanks to our friend John F for very kindly sending in his top suggestion for our regular spot of tune-age to blast out while gardening. As John says “Here’s a tune perfect for a Sunday morning in the Greenhouse!” and indeed it is! A classic from the late great Joe Higgs called “There’s a reward for me”. And what a tune! Thanks again John!
We’d love to hear your greenhouse/garden shed/potting shed/coal shed classic, never mind the genre, anything considered as long as it’s good. Send it to onedeckpete (at) gmail.com or comment on this post with a youtube link. Remember “No Marillion, Genesis or Yes as a refusal often offends.”
