Mavis Staples - Can You Get To That


Connect direct with Mavis Staples at MavisStaples.Com

Mavis, with The Staple Singers or on her own, is one of my personal favorite artists ever. Shot this photo of Mavis performing at a live show that full of major funk augmented with high gospel.



Here is a classic Mavis Staples performance that may be unknown to many. A rare gem of music with deep meaning.

Mavis Staples - Keep Your Eye on The Prize

A classic by Carlos Santana & Friends

It seriously is hard to get any off any more than this. Right? This is as real as real gets in rock & roll. They were not behind the times one little bit in 1969 with regards to music, how put on and record & film great concerts. Wow! Stellar footage from a great moment in time that still exists when Carlos Santana plays. Catch him if you can!

Let It Be

Stumbled on this via the Facebook page of Paul McCartney's guitarist Brian Ray, where one of Brian's followers posted it on Brian's page. Michael Province, violinist aged 15 at the time of this recording, and Nathan Chan, cellist aged 16 at the time of this recording, jam out to the Beatles song Let It Be. This was filmed at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music in Singapore.

Lady - Get Ready

The U.K. based soul/R&B duo known as "Lady" features vocalists Nicole Wray and Terri Walker

Loving the soulful duo out of the U.K. known as "Lady". First posted their song titled Get Ready on Music Television early last month and I immediately bought the song download. After playing it at least a thousand times or more, I still love it! Don't typically repost songs already on MusicTelevision.Com right here, but hope everyone loves the classic old school energy Nicole Wray and Terri Walker put into this. It grooves for days. Definitely, this is R&B music at it's finest.

Scott Hardkiss, who was born as Scott Friedel, was a 43 year old San Francisco DJ who in the 1990's played a significant role in the rave music scene. The track below was originally released in 1993.

Nneka - Focus (live featuring Babatunde)

Photo of Nneka by Elodie Janot at ElodieJanot.Com

Originally from Nneka's fantastically substantive album titled Concrete Jungle, the song in the live concert film featured below features Nneka performing her song titled Focus, in Europe with Nigerian rapper Babatunde. This is an amazing performance!  The rap of lyrical substance is stunningly syncopated to perfection.

Nneka is one of the most inspired global artists of depth on the scene today. She stumps hard for the people of her native Nigeria, and always has truth, justice and love in her heart for all around the world, especially the less fortunate. Study her lyrics to this song below and know her other songs are equally as passionate and heavy if you have not yet heard.

Focus Songwriters: Pinheiro Da Silva, Nneka Lucia Egbuna, Farhad Samadzada
Lyrics: *Babatunde added some lyrics of his own which are missing below

Government politics, system policies,
Money, banks, foundation and discoveries
Mischievious and self centered development strategies,
Uneffective enough not to affect the physics and the spirits of mankind
In short and infact where do we go from here when we lack love in our hearts
When we lack an open heart and lie to ourselves and the one that truly loves, that we love
Truly we don't really give a fuck
Another day has passed my conscience is hunting me one small form
E to face this next temptation that is coming up now
The flesh has overcome the spirit, eyes opened but shot, sight blurred
Can't see the road because I am scarred of the lights
I gotta go on, I gotta move on, we gotta go on, we gotta move on
Cause if you don't search for the truth your soul will definitely remain undone

Chorus
Maintain your Focus
The misery is all around you
The misery, the envy
It is hard staying away from the temptations of the world
Maintain your mind, see

Is it the drugs? Is it the men? Is it the money? Is it the fame?
Do not need all this to find myself
Have met my shadow a thousand times
I know how it feels to be untrue to oneself
See would you hold back the things that urged you to speak your mind?
Living in the bondage, in if clauses for the rest of your life
You want to lie in systems custody, your soul strip for free
Living in the bondage, in if clauses for the rest of your life
You want to lie in system custody, your soul strip for free

Will you sell your soul for free?

Maintain your Focus
The misery is all around you
The jealousy, the envy
It is hard staying away from the temptations of the world
Maintain your mind

Maintain your Focus
The poverty is all around you
The misery and envy
It is hard staying away from the temptations of the world

Bridge
Temptations of this world
You see the demons coming out of you
They reveal themselves to you and yes you can see your truth

Oh no no, got to maintain your mind
In this world of pain
In this world of sin
In this world of hate

Maintain your Focus
The misery is all around you
The misery
It is hard staying away from the temptations of the world
Maintain your mind, see

Laura Mvula

Totally digging this song and video. Thanks to to Maddie Oatman and her piece on Mother Jones for the turn on. It's Yummy. Dug around and found there are many good live takes of the following song that are almost better than the official music video, because the artist can sing live. Hopefully RCA Records, who deserves good credit, will hang in there and work this artist until she grabs a deep hold in the marketplace.

Gaby Moreno - Ave que Emigra (Music Video)

All of Gaby Moreno's songs are beautiful and special. But this became one of my most favorite songs by Gaby Moreno after I heard her explain to the non Spanish speaking people in her audience one night at Cafe Largo, what the song meant to her. The Spanish title, Ave que Emigra, means Bird That Migrates in English

Gaby is from Guatemala and migrated to America to continue to pursue her craft as a singer, songwriter and recording artist. The song sung in Spanish, and text in English just below, is especially beautiful when considering the story of her own life and that of others who have the dream. Enjoy!

I come from very far away
looking for the blue of the sky
following predicaments I come from very far away

Memories from my childhood that sometimes
leave the soul My Guatemala never forgot.
carried always with me

Tired from running
in times of hunting lifted high
in my flight like a bird that migrates

I come from very far away
looking for the blue of the sky
following predicaments I come from very far away

And how one is clinging to
a piece of land sooner or
later comes the air Burns without truce

Tired from running in
times of hunting lifted high
in my flight like a bird that migrates

Ultimate Valentines Day Song

If you ever liked Jody Watley or Prince, you will like this. The artist known as Goapele has a song with that sexy "it" thing and you'll want to play it on repeat to set the stage for sexy romance. It is a club mix, designed for a sound system that moves a lot of air. It sounds great on most headphones, but many speakers won't be able to handle to the depth of the bass frequencies, but try to find that sweet spot on the volume knob/EQ and blast off anyway.

Music in Cuba

Below is a scene from the French musical-documentary movie "Cuba Feliz", directed by Karim Dridi. It was first released in 2000, but is definitely worth watching if you have not seen it yet. The film follows a 76 year-old Cuban musician known as El Gallo as he travels throughout his country to play music with everyone he can. The doc captured the life of this senior troubadour, as he connects and bathes in Cuba's rich music culture.

Nneka - Africans + Heartbeat + Do You Love Me Now + Soul Is Heavy (Music Videos)

Timeless and powerful music worthy of turning up the volume knob, this Nneka song sounds and feels as fresh today as when it was released several years ago.

Nneka - Africans

At first listen, one may falsely assume these are drama laden love songs, when actually, they are pointed political diatribes. Nneka was heavy. Her music is full of substance. It sometimes take a few spins before fully understanding her lyrics.

Sara Bareilles

Before her career took off, Sara Bareilles was a waitress at my favorite pub, back in a time when you had to have something special to work there. And that she did. But she maintained an understated humble way and she never mentioned to me she was an artist, when so many wannabes had and do, which made it even more refreshing when I eventually did learn about her talents. She not only plays a beautiful piano that is mean when she wants it to be, she sings her heart out to her own well written songs. Songs with that undeniable hit quality! Particularly love this minimalist take of her song titled Gravity, which is not the studio version from her hit record, but a stripped raw version with underproduced audio. It just feels great, like you are sitting in a little bar right across from her :)

Black Dub

Recorded live and shot by a lone camera operator who shot the footage so well, no edits were necessary. Filmed in what looks like a living room of great old house, these are live takes worth playing again from the debut release of the group known as Black Dub. Black Dub features and old school sound with Trixie Whitley on Vocals and assorted instruments (even playing the drums at one point while singing her ass off), Daniel Lanois on songwriting/guitar/backing vocals, Daryl Johnson on bass and Brian Blade on drums. Sonic bliss from Lanois combined with the deep soul of Whitley with the perfect foundation from Johnson and Blade make for some artists who show their ability to not only make great studio recordings, but fantastic live recordings with little or no pomp & circumstance needed. Just real music all the way.

Manu Chao

Heard about this artist from a very authentic & beautiful Latina girl from Los Angeles named Stephanie Rivera, who had some rare taste in music. Her dream it is to live in Guadalajara Mexico. Thanks Stephanie!

The artist, Manu Chao, is recording artist of French, Spanish and English heritage who has an unique groove and sound all his own. Stephanie told a story about Manu's father, who angered political forces in his native France, and was forced to flee France and Manu ended up in Spain. Manu Chao sings in multiple languages including but not limited to French, Galician, Spanish, Arabic, English, Italian and Portuguese. Manu Chao combines multiple genres of music and he should not be pigeonholed into any particular genre of music. A true original with that "it" thing.
