Dr Victor Olaiya & his All-Stars

amf.didiermary.fr/victor-olaiy

Dr Victor Olaiya is considered the bridge between Ghanaian highlife and what would become Afrobeat.

Вёл рок-баттл и аукцион Иван Ургант, и только ленивый не пошутил про Урганта и Лубянку — с таким уж оптимистическим настроем собрались гости.

"High Life" de Claire Denis, ou quand la science-fiction devient un cauchemar organique.

Un huis clos spatial fascinant, dérangeant, où Robert Pattinson et Juliette Binoche explorent les tréfonds du désir et de la survie.

Vous en sortirez changé… ou hanté.

Been listening to this album all day, a recent release from Berlin-based Philophon label, "A.O.E.I.U. (An Ordinary Exercise in Unity)" by . I'm hearing and frafra gospel, but also and experimental sounds that are hard to categorize. Vintage & futuristic at the same time.
