If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence. - George Eliot
Heaven's having fun rocking with Ali Farka Toure. This video's from last.fm and is a live peformance of the track 'Amandrai' (from Talking Timbuktu) from the Segou Festival in Mali and features Bassekou Kouyate on ngoni along with Farka Toure.
Without music life would be a mistake. ~ Nietzsche
Berthold Auerbach once said that music washes away from the soul the dust of our everyday life.
In that spirit, I hope the music I post here brings you joy and helps you relax and unwind. I'm going to post music which I listen to and enjoy - compiling 1-3 videos per post; mostly gleaning them from youtube, though I may use other sites from time to time. I mainly listen to jazz, blues, and some international (indian, african, etc.) music and these genres will feature in my posts the majority of the time.
