Dance

I smell a connection between Turkish belly-dance and Spanish Flamenco. No it’s not that far apart. Take a look at this 2009 dance of Didem . I am a fan of hot music dance. Didem is a top belly-dancer from Turkey and a good reason why Turkey should join the EU.

I blogged this theme before; like jazz, belly-dancing has many roots and styles around the Mediterranean Sea [club med] that are not easily understood by our northerners. I think it’s just plain sexy.

Flamenco is a sing & dance style (many styles) from the South of Spain with definitely Moorish influences. I was not surprised there was a connection with belly-dancing. Spanish Flamenco also brought us many famous guitar players. Take a look at this impressive guitar clip with Paco Lucia .

Brothers

They just hit my lower left brain cell. I have the movie and I have the album somewhere. But for now I just poke you with some tubes. This one makes me bouncing around the room over here.

- The Trailer
- Rubber Biscuit
- Blues Brothers mix
- 10 million hits

I’m sure you can find more music stuff.

Enjoy

Boy

Little Drummer Boy

It’s November and X-mess is coming soon. I won’t fool around with our new-born-king (well, maybe). It’s my favorite part of the year too. To pledge my allegiance; here are some versions of ‘The Little Drummer Boy’. Always makes my eyes wet.

- The Vienna Boys Choir
- The Three Tenors
- Frank Sinatra
- Harry Simeone
- Henri Mancini
- The Temptations
- Brown, Tennessee & The Silvertones = Reggae
- Jimi Hendrix
