Patra - Romantic Call

Patra is a Jamaican R&B and dancehall singer that got pretty popular in the mid 90s.

"Romantic Call" - a collaboration with Yo Yo - got a high place at the US dance and R&B charts. Here, she blends Jamaican dancehall with 90s US hip hop. It is an interesting video mixing Jamaican movings with 90s typical dancing styles from the US. Also, 2pac is featured in the video.

This is the second Jerusalem in My Heart song I post - I really find this project interesting.

Their shows are featured by contemporary Arabic music and electronic sounds that are put together with visuals and lights involving the audience and the space itself. Their -very few- shows change one from another, so performances are never repeated. I wish I can get to see one of these shows.

Radwan Ghazi Moumneh is behind JIMH; he is originally from Lebanon, but lives between in Montreal (Canada) and Beirut. The other members are musician and French Jérémie Regnier, and Chilean and visual artist Malena Szlam Salazar.

This album is due to be out this march 2013 via Constellation Records.

This is a video showing how music has been life-changing for some Afghan young students. Music was banned by the Talibans from 1966 to 2001; since 2010 on, a music school has been running in Kabul, where street kids, including girls -for whom education is still often denied- have the chance to learn a music instrument; this represents a chance for them to be part of the Afghanistan National Institute of Music.

Some of these kids, aged between 9 and 21, toured the United States for 13 days this past February.
