LOL! :biggrin:

Oh, Santana is :cool: I had never seen the video. lol

One of my favorite Woodstock performances.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf1B9ktRCkg

Astrud Gilberto had never sung professionally and was asked by the songs writer to sing for him on the song...she was just a girl working in the office.....Not a singer...so when the song was a huge hit and she was asked to sing on live TV....she was pretty terrified!

No Doubt - Underneath It All (what a sexy song!)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdSSlMJKzgI

Aww,... She did look scared. Was the song originally written in Spanish? There is one point the words did not fir the beat.

The girl From Ipanema was originally written in Portuguese and there are Portuguese versions on YouTube if you search around.....But it was such a huge hit that in was inevitable that it would be recorded in English....in fact the songs writers wanted Astrud to sing because she was the only one there that spoke both Portuguese and English!

Ipanema is a famous beach near Rio De Jinero Brazil.....my wife and I vacationed there years ago....it is always filled with gorgeous bikini wearing local woman with bronze skin and dark hair and eyes.

I'll never forget my wife laughing at me and saying "look at all those beautiful girls you're NEVER going to get to go to bed with".....

ImthatIm, Love this, thank you for sharing. Something about a well played acoustic guitar. Started my morning with this! :biggrin: Had to chuckle, when the next video was A very very young Santana, :icon_eek:

Lucky 1, that makes sense about Portuguese.

This might be a repeat, but it is the song of the day...

So, I thought I would check out the words to see why! :smile:

Happy Wednesday!

Oh. At the first glance I thought it was Madonna, whom I consider to be a rather masculine and aggressive exhibitionist.

Never thought exhibitionism was sexy.

But perhaps it always was:

It is just, that in the West, we seem to have the roles reversed, say like compared to Polynesian matriarchal societies …

I don’t know, I am confused ….

I thought it was Madonna too!

LOL, reminds me of a grouse who used to follow me around the mountainside, where we lived. we used to call him goofy grouse. :biggrin:

Wow! Talk about letting the spirit move you!

The spirit of grouse mating dance for the newlyweds, me thinks.
Then one can laugh at one’s exhibitionism and not take it too seriously ….

I don’t know,... some of those ladies looked a little embarrassed.
:smile: but then some just had fun and celebrated! “Kicking up of heels”

Maybe he has got better moves:

Worked for some birdwatching cottages, where you could watch the rifle-bird displays from your veranda.
In those days my music was just the rainforest sounds:

This song speaks to me...

Sentient, I don’t know, the first one looked like a ninja, lol

It is funny, I never thought of the rainforest as being so loud. It makes the prairies seem like a void of sound. :D

Yeah, very warrior like.
If I was to choose a sound for it, I wouldn’t choose Flamenco nor Tango but Polynesian Haka heh.

That was lovely.

Stevie Ray Vaughan playing Hendrix...and playing it BETTER than Hendricks!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgIB1OL09H0

I personally think Madonna is disgusting and fairly talentless.....and tries to make up for her lack of real talent by acting how she acts.

Can you imagine dancing upside down? :icon_eek:
Their movements were amazing, it was so easy to see their movements as animals and forget they were dancers! :cool:

Lucky 1, Stevie Ray Vaughn plays a guitar as if it is an appendage! :cool: No separation between his brain and what he is playing, no hesitation. :D

I'll never forget an interview I saw with Ted Nugent who said " When I play in Texas I always try to have a bit of humility because I know that I am playing in the land of Stevie Ray Vaughan"

Reverence :smile:

Did you ever see Stevie Ray Vaughn in concert?

Sometimes, even if you do not feel it, you have to push it out to the universe and the world. This song showed up on my Facebook, from a friend. :D

So, tag,... Your it. PS- I love all of the dancer’s styles and beauty! Radiant! :biggrin:

Happy

PPS- side note, I had this song as a ring tone on my little tracphone and it drove my husband to distraction. It is band from all car trips. :laughing6:

I know metal is not everybody’s cup of tea …. But there is ….

French/Tunisian metal :icon_eek:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnFtZZp7f-c

An Indian metal band :icon_eek:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsy5sJy5_34


The Tunisian piece is very Nightwish’y, so I enjoyed it.
The Indian drums and the guitar were good ....

How curious …

Thank you for sharing that one! (Might mean more cuz I lived yrs in TX, so I really get it.) :wink:

One time!

It was at the "Austin City Limits" venue in Austin TX....My wife and I were fairly newly married at the time and she was early term pregnant with our daughter....I remember her being a bit nauseous at the show....

It was in fact this very concert:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu7haLxD2WM

Stevie had gotten himself clean from drugs and alcohol by this time and was at the top of his form.....playing like the greatest of all time as Texans think of him.


Watch him play in this video and its absolutely epic!!!!

I always liked this song and every time I hear it I think about the group of young Iranian students who made a video dancing to it....only to get in serious trouble with the Muslin government for dancing, wearing makeup, wearing western clothes, fraternizing with the opposite sex in public .... Not wearing a hijab in public etc.

Me thinks the Iranian students just want to be happy and have some fun and the Muslin government needs to have a coke and a smile and shut the **** up!

Here's the video.....and of course the Iranian government demanded that it be taken down...but it never was

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYnLRf-SNxY

Lucky 1 so much joy! Thank you for sharing! I especially love the out takes! I can only imagine the risk they all took.

Lucky 1,
Oh my goodness, he looks ten years younger and in the moment! Amazing!

We watch Austin City Limits on PBS :biggrin:

How lovely you have this memory with your wife being pregnant. :smile:

My introduction to Iranians/Persians were my neighbours in Sydney who had been political refugees and who had spent yeeeears living in hippy Goa, India - heh.

sentient, It is not surprising, but is amazing that styles of music transcend cultural boundaries! I love the drums and traditional clothing and dancers. Nice fusion. :biggrin:

sentient, is that a sitar in the first video with the flute! Lovely sound!

Are people of Sydney accepting of the immersion of the influx of so many culture? The dance and music are diverse and beautiful. :smile:

I trust the place for hippies in America was California, but for Europeans and for many others it was GOA – India:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippie_trail

So these Persians who had fled their country for India & Goa had been exposed to more than I could have ever been able to dream about :D It must have been mind-blowing for them.

That sitar-flute piece had their & that Goa “vibe” :hippy2: .... lovely people.

Australia is very multicultural and I have thoroughly enjoyed this aspect living here.

Did I see 'sitar"?

This is my big chance :tongue: to say I sat front row center in front of Ravi Shankar
and his 2 fellow musicians - oh, that tabla!
What a memory in a small auditorium.

I never knew this! Thank you for the wiki history support link! I miss culture, music, cultures. I live in a very isolated place. Oh well, next lifetime! :biggrin:

Ah, Ms. H, but what is your song of the day? :biggrin:
