#Repost @rondelrio22 ・・・ New Music Pick of the Day: Taking The Music Back Edition. Angelique Kidjo “Remain In Light”. Released January 2019 (because I say so) from Kravenworks/VMP. • • First things first... yes I am aware that this was officially released as a download way back in June of last year and again in December on physical formats. With that being said, I preordered this in December and received it just now, today, in 2019. See you when the Top 77 reappears at the end of this year. Amazing track by track, reimagined, funky, afrobeat take of Talking Heads’ “Remain In Light” from the legendary Ms Kidjo (and a stellar guest list including; Magatte Sow the amazing percussionist for the ‘Black Panther’ score) will have you believing that this is the original version that was somehow misplaced for 38 years. Obviously the source material is historic but that doesn’t mean it can’t be taken to another level. Warning, here comes that word... Brilliant! • • • • • #anjeliquekidjo #remaininlight #afrobeat #worldbeat #kravenworks #newmusic #musiconvinyl #vinylmeplease #newmusicoftheday #newonvinyl #onmyturntable #musicislife #vinyl #vinile #vinylgram #instavinyl #vinyligclub #vinylcollection #vinylcollectionpost #recordcollector #igvinylclub #igvinylcommunitypost #vinylcommunity #33rpm #ontheturntable #hashtagabuse #talkingheads #Repost @markpaynemakeup Great concert today with the legendary @johnadamsmusic performing #grandpianolamusic #tumblebird by #gabriellasmith and @philipglassmusic performed on point by @angeliquekidjo and the @laphil LOVED!!!!
