Hot Eve at La Bellevilloise!
Tonight, June 15th, was the end of 'Paris Onze Bouge' Festival...
[Paris 11 or Paris onze, gives 'on se bouge', for let's move, let's swing... In short,
let's say Swinging Eleven !
FireTongue featured at La Bellevilloise tonight with 9 other
very good musicians and... the whole concert was like a hellish
ride on a motor unit, with the brass section embroidering their
phrases around the leading beat which rumbled through your
stomach from the beginning until the end !
Unfortunately, no one seems to have published a video of the performance, nor did I
because of memory card problems... but the atmosphere is the same in the following
videos. Enjoy it.
More on Charles Delangue: AfroBeat/Swing and Spiritual Beats, and for a good info
page, go to African Path.

About Irish NO to the EU Treaty...
Why nobody asks the essential question :
Ireland would it be alone now rejecting the
Lisbon treaty if this one had been submitted
to a referendum in the other countries ?
Probably not.
French people said no in 2005, when asked by referendum and so did
Holland. These people are not against European Union, they just refuse
an anti-democratic European Constitution, now called Treaty to be more
easily accepted.
"You don't say yes to something you don't understand" said
Hugo Brady, analyst at the Centre for European Reform thinktank.
John Barrys' point of view.

Fashion in NY streets
All style waistcoats & vests in NY streets.
For once, the new unisex fashion trend
seems to spread spontaneously
out of any fashion dictat.
