The Montreal International Jazz Festival 2006, wraps up this Sunday, July 9th with a free performance by Goran Bregovic and his Wedding and Funeral Band.
I also went to the jazz festival on thursday to take a few photographs and listen to some wonderful music outdoors…
Sekouba Bambino from Guinea, a former member of Bembeya Jazz and Africando. The festival’s web site calls his voice reminiscient of Kouyaté Sory Kandia.
Goran Bregović
First North American tour, Goran Bregović and the wedding and funeral band put on an amazing concert for the closing of the festival
Next performance is tomorrow (July 10th), playing as part of the City of Chicago’s Music without Borders series.
Speaking of Bregović, Bijelo dugme has a song composed by Duško Trifunović, the lyrics are
| “ima neka tajna veza za sve ljude zakon krut njome covjek sebe veze kada bira sebi put sidro koje ladju cuva da ne bude buri plijen tone skupa sa tom ladjom jer je ono dio nje ima neka tajna veza tajna veza za sve nas ima neka tajna veza tajna veza za sve nas” |
I would like to know the translation of this song… and a friend sent me one (thank you!) …
| “There is a secret connection For all people law is harsh People are bound with this connection When they choose their way Anchor which keeps the boat Not to be the prey Sinking together with this boat Because they are connected together There is a secret connection Secret connection for all of us” |
