Muzica verde

A trecut ceva timp de cand nu v-am mai spus ce muzica mai ascult, desi am descoperit multe chestii noi. Deocamdata, revenim cu o melodie chill, frumoasa, un cover dupa o melodie a lui Tom Waits, cantata de o brazilianca frumoasa, cu o voce misto si pe care o puteti vedea in mai multe filmulete pe youtube. Ea este Cibelle si melodia se numeste Green grass.

Despre Cibelle scrie Cibelle, pe siteul www.cibelle.net, intr-o prezentare foarte simpatica. Iata o particica din viata ei:


"I grew up in Sao Paulo listening to Technotronic, Mettalica, A-ha, INXS, Menudo, New Kids on the Block, Alice in Chains, The Ronettes, The soundtrack to Alien, a miscelaneous compilation on 50's rockn'roll, Rita Lee, Patrick Hernadez ( Born to be Alive), Richard Clayderman (it was in my dentist's waiting room. i wore braces for years), Africa Bambata, Faith No More, Alice in Chains, Live, Litz, Chopin, Bach, Bela Bartok, Looney Toons, Coleçao Disquinho, Naçao Zumbi, Legiao Urbana, Caetano Veloso, Tom Ze, Gal Costa, Dolores Duran, Tom Jobim, Edu Lobo, Joao Gilberto, Dorival Caymi, Mutantes, Balkan music, the Czardas, and countless afternoons at the municipal thetre watching random orchestras and string quartets, then trying to be a b-girl aged 14 dancing and spinning on the floor un-succesfuly... bla bla bla. etc, and i KNOW, someone will copy and paste this bit as it being my main musical influences on some release somewhere AND, it will look hilarious.

.... i had been int he conservatory since age 5ishh... 6 , sort of.
By the age of 14, i left, and decided to play volleyball, hang out in the streets of vila mariana hood style, play truco, smoke cigarettes in the locker room of the volleyball gym, and then eat fandangos to cover it up. ew. no music playing then, i'm afraid, just a lot of dancing, theatre and voleyball.... well. a fair bit of singing walking on the beach of santos in the middle of carnaval, when for the first time ever, an "unwritten" song came into my mind. what a weird feeling. could i? can i? should i? wr..r.... r..... it....te? am, am.. a a a am, i singing?
frgot about it and stuck with acting.
till when i was about 16 boyfriend told me that if i didn't stop singing like that, he was going to have to "produce" me.
he was a music producer, but i had no idea of what exactly that was by then, you see ...
but that sparked something...
was i... should i... oh.. i like this. "
