The Song of the Week (38) Shields (Stranded Horse)

I suffer from a strange evil that is now more than twenty-four hours that I have the same song running around in my head. Walking down the street, in the subway, at home, eating, lying in my bed at the checkout of a supermarket, it is always the same, always the same music that tirelessly returns. At the same time, when we are haunted by a song as beautiful as "shields" (not a shit, as is so often the case in such situations ...), I guess I must be lucky. This music is from the new album (Thee) Stranded Horse Humbling Tides, released last week on the label Talitres Bordeaux (on which there are some fine flower of the folk present, as Emily Jane White). If you follow my program on Radio Canut, you've already heard two excerpts recently. Behind this strange name ("horse failed"?) Hides Yann Tambour (Which was already behind ink), playing the entire album on a strange stringed African instrument called the "kora" (see photo) which gives this unique sound to his music (from acoustic guitar and harp - as Joanna Newsom - I would say ...) and singled sharply amid the wave of folk musicians in recent years. It creates a quiet music, a bit timeless, conducive to daydreaming (the kind that propels you into the land lost to the other side of the world - but often the effect on me that folk music) . Sometimes on this album, "Shields" in particular, it is accompanied by violinist Carla Palone (Group Mansfield Tya), and the least we can say is that the association is perfect. That is, among other reasons, this my favorite song on the album. That also explains why I no longer able to remove the head. I attempt here a strange exorcism. Hoping to spread the virus ...
