SONG OF THE WEEK - "By My Demon Eye"
Lovely voice and lovely song with exotic lyrics to reflect!
This Is the Kit is the alias of British musician Kate Stables, who is based in Bristol and Paris.
"While Kate Stables is beloved for the haunting Celtic tinged melodies and evocative lyrics, one of the most poignant moments on her new LP is taken from a far off land and sung in a language you're not likely to understand.
"By My Demon Eye"—a highlight from her fourth album, Moonshine Freeze—features a chorus from an African folk tale first unearthed by ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracey, whose work Stables studies and draws inspiration from. Those exotic lyrics detail a time honored tribal tale about a tortoise and a hare, the latter of whom tricks the former into visiting a miserable old woman who lures liars to her cauldron of scalding hot water. The repetitive portions of that foreign refrain describe the "boiling boiling boiling" water that the gullible turtle is being led toward.
The woman's boiling water honesty test resonated with Stables because, when she was writing it, she was "wrestling with the idea of honesty and the even the white lies we tell accidentally. It's about our relationship with the truth and how complicated that can be."

!Preciosa voz y preciosa canción con una letra para reflectir!
This Is The Kit es el nombre como es conocida la música británica Kate Stables, con sede en Bristol y París.
"Mientras que Kate Stables es amada por las inquietantes melodías teñidas celtas y letras evocadoras, uno de los momentos más conmovedores en su nuevo LP es tomado de una tierra lejana y cantado en un idioma que eres no es probable que entienda "By My Demon Eye", un destacado de su cuarto álbum, Moonshine Freeze, presenta un coro de un cuento popular africano descubierto por el etnomusicólogo Hugh Tracey, cuyo trabajo Stables estudia e inspira. Esas letras exóticas detallan un cuento tribal de larga tradición sobre una tortuga y una liebre, el último de los cuales engaña al primero para que visite a una anciana miserable que atrae mentirosos a su caldero de agua hirviendo. Las partes repetitivas de ese estribillo extranjero describen el agua "hirviendo a ebullición hirviente" a la que se dirige a la tortuga crédula. "La prueba de honestidad de agua hirviendo de la mujer resonó con Stables porque, cuando estaba escribiéndola, estaba "luchando con la idea de la honestidad y las mentiras incluso las blancas que contamos accidentalmente. Se trata de nuestra relación con la verdad y lo complicado que puede ser. "

JEWEL TREND ALERT - Figa
The FIGA, originally an Italian
amulet, called Mano Fico, was also used by the Etruscans in the Roman era.
Mano means hand and Fico or Figa is the representation of the female genitals,especially
the Clitoris, and was associated with fertility and eroticism. In Italy, this
sign, known as "fica" or "far le fiche," by the resemblance
to the Clitoris, was a common and very crude gesture in past centuries, similar
to the middle finger. In Turkey this sign, known like "nah", is a
well-known and highly offensive gesture.In English-speaking countries, as
in the United States, it is a child's play in which it is simulated to
pluck the nose of a child from his face.In Brazil, this sign symbolizes
the wishes of good luck. Today it is used as amulet against evil eye in
the belief that obscene distracts evil. Once you are given a figa it
stores up all the luck you haven’t used, but be careful not to break or
lose it as that will cut off your supply of luck. Remember: the figa should only
be received as a gift.

SONG OF THE WEEK - "Golden Avatar"
Kula Shaker, one of my favorite band from Post-Britpop, are an English psychedelic rock band.
Led by frontman Crispian Mills,
the band came to prominence during the Post-Britpop era of the late 1990s.The
band are known for their interest in traditional Indian music, culture, and
mysticism, with a number of their most famous songs, including
"Tattva" and "Govinda", featuring lyrics written in
Sanskrit. The name Kula Shaker was itself inspired by King Kulasekhara, an
Indian emperor from the 8th century. In addition, many of the band's songs
feature traditional
Indian instruments, such as the sitar, tamboura, and tabla, juxtaposed with
guitar-heavy, Western rock instrumentation. Kula Shaker disbanded in September
1999 but reformed in 2004 for sessions for the School of Braja compilation
album. This led to plans for a full comeback, although the reformation was not
widely publicised until the beginning of 2006. The band's third album,
Strangefolk, was issued in 2007 and their fourth, Pilgrims Progress, was
released in 2010. The band returned with a mostly sold out European tour and
new album K 2.0 in 2016 which was well-received both by the media and the
fans.On 28 September 2015 the band announced they are returning in 2016 with a
European tour and new album titled K 2.0, releasing two teasers of a track
named "Mountain Lifter" then a song called "Infinite Sun".
Kula Shaker, una de mis bandas favoritas de Post-pop británico, es una banda de rock psicodélico Inglesa. Conducido por el
líder Crispian Mills, la banda se dio a conocer durante la era post-pop
británico en finales de la década de 1990. Son conocidos por su interés en
la música tradicional de la India, la cultura, y la mística, con algunas de
sus canciones más famosas, incluyendo " tattva "y" Govinda
", con letras escritas en sánscrito. El nombre Kula Shaker se vio
inspirado por el rey Kulasekhara, un emperador de la India desde el siglo
octavo. Además, muchas de las canciones del grupo cuentan con los instrumentos
tradicionales de la India, como el sitar, tamboura, y la tabla, yuxtapuesto
con, la instrumentación rock occidental guitarra-pesado. Kula Shaker disolvió
en septiembre de 1999, pero se han vuelto a juntar en 2004 para lo álbum recopilatorio "sessions for the School of Braja". Esto llevó a los planes para un regreso completo,
aunque la reforma no fue ampliamente publicitado hasta principios de 2006. El tercer
álbum de la banda, Strangefolk, se publicó en 2007 y su cuarto, progreso del
peregrino, fue lanzado en 2010. La banda regresó con una sobre todo vendido
gira europea y el nuevo disco K 2.0 en 2016, que fue bien recibido tanto por
los medios de comunicación y el 28 de fans.On de septiembre de 2015, la banda
anunció que están regresando en 2016 con una gira europea y nuevo álbum
titulado K 2.0, la liberación de dos teasers de una pista llamada "Montaña
Lifter" y luego una canción que se llama "Sol Infinito".
