| | Nana Mouskouri Olympia 1967 CD - Import Nana Mouskouri Discography of CDs
This live date by Greek songstress Nana Mouskouri and her band Les Atheniens was recorded at the famed Olympia Theater in Paris, the public home of Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, and Charles Aznavour, and signaled the beginning of her international stardom; Mouskouri has sold more albums than any other female artist in history. The program is filled mainly with French tunes, though there are some notable exceptions such as her signature reading of "Guantanamera" and "Telalima" by her countryman and mentor in popular music Manos Hadjidakis. The audience sounds on this set can be a bit irritating because of their prominent place in the mix, and they were no doubt doctored that way in the studio later, as was the custom of the time. Still, the stellar quality of Mouskouri's performance cannot be denied. She is inspired, innovative, and emotionally resonant in each of these 13 numbers. For those collectors who don't already possess this welcome and lovely artifact, the choice is obvious. For the novice, it's best to stick with one of the dozens of studio compilations as an introduction. ~ Thom Jurek Nana Mouskouri Olympia 1967 Songs | 1. | Telalima | |

When Phil Sheeran burst onto the instrumental scene in 1990 with the Top 5 radio smash Breaking Through, his melodic, Brazilian-tinged strings seemed to perfectly capture the subtle intimacies and breezy boisterousness the acoustic guitar is noted for. After a several year layoff following the similar success of his follow-up Standing on Fishes, Sheeran is back for the long haul with the eclectic excitement of It's a Good Thing, a collection that also marks the debut release from the artist-friendly label Passage Records. One of the most identifiable strands running through his first two albums was Sheeran's great love for Brazilian music and rhythms, which were cultivated through years of studying the greats like Luiz Bonfá and Antonio Carlos Jobim, as well as a six-month stint living in the South American country. But on It's a Good Thing, which was co-produced by keyboardist Gregg Karukas and ...

BiographyCisco started guitar when he was 17. However, he had a singular approach to the instrument as he was more interested by playing music than by just playing guitar. So it took only a few guitar lessons and a lot of practice (8 hours a day everyday for over a year) before the lady who taught the instrument told him he had no more to learn from her. A whole year passed. Though originally a brilliant pupil, Cisco was now too obsessed and rebellious to carry on studying if he could play music instead. After being expelled from two different colleges, he left his family and went on travelling around Europe with his guitar on his back.Cisco's travels took him to Wales where he met John James. The Welshman was immediately captivated by the young virtuoso and his playing and took him under his wing. With John James, Cisco not only learnt finger-picking techniques. He was also taught that this very style was especially difficult to master, as it required more than just authenticity and feel. In order to avoid becoming an academical musician, James told his student that the most important was to drown himself into to the reality of the Blues.Hence, the young Blues apprentice carried on with his journey. Inevitably, it took him where everything began, that is on the banks of the Mississippi River. There, were the genuine players, playing the Real Thing. Cisco drenched himself into the music and made a pivotal encounter: Fred Mc Dowell. Cisco learnt many tricks and techniques from him, including the bottleneck techniques that made him one of the best slide players to this day.When he returned to France, he became one of first French Bluesmen in the country. And even though his style was very innovative, he was broadcasted several times on the French national radio (he did the « ORTF Cabaret » 3 times). Then, he was quickly taken on board by Breton bard Glenmor for one of his tours.Cisco then recorded with famous French Ragtime Jazz combo « Les Haricots Rouges » for the Pathé Marconi label. The recording was followed up by a tour. It was during that tour that Cisco experienced another unexpected twist of fate: John Lee Hooker was opening for them. Both guitarists instantly digged each other and when John Lee offered him to be his second guitar on his tour, Cisco could only accept.These were hard ...
