Joulukalenterin toisesta luukusta l\u00f6ytyy t\u00e4n\u00e4\u00e4n musiikkisuosituksia. Minusta on j\u00e4nnitt\u00e4v\u00e4 kuunnella toisinaan musiikkia jonka sanoja en ymm\u00e4rr\u00e4. Lyriikat ovat toki t\u00e4rke\u00e4t mutta joskus on hauska kuunnella vain fiiliksi\u00e4 joita itse musiikki synnytt\u00e4\u00e4. Ja tietysti hoilottaa sanoja \u00e4\u00e4neen ymm\u00e4rt\u00e4m\u00e4tt\u00e4 mit\u00e4 niiss\u00e4 oikeasti lauletaan.<\/p>\n

Siisp\u00e4 pidemmitt\u00e4 puheitta esittelen teille jakartalais-syntyisen, Ranskassa asuvan Anggunin<\/a> joka laulaa sek\u00e4 \u00e4idinkielell\u00e4\u00e4n, englanniksi ett\u00e4 ranskaksi. Anggun on jo pian nelikymppinen laulaja-lauluntekij\u00e4 johon tutustuin ensimm\u00e4ist\u00e4 kertaa jo 90-luvun lopulla kun h\u00e4nen Snow on the Sahara-albuminsa julkaistiin Euroopassa.<\/p>\n

Anggunin tumma ja pehme\u00e4 \u00e4\u00e4ni vieh\u00e4tt\u00e4\u00e4 minua ja joissakin biiseiss\u00e4 kuultaa selv\u00e4sti etninen tausta. Tyylilajia voisi kai kutsua melodiseksi popiksi joka on ryyditetty koskettavilla sanoituksilla. My\u00f6hemmill\u00e4 levyill\u00e4 on my\u00f6s vaikutteita jatsista ja moderneista tyylilajeista. 2012 Anggun osallistui Eurovision laulukilpailuun ranskankielisell\u00e4 kappaleella Echo, joka oli yksi suosikkibiiseist\u00e4ni viimevuotisissa Euroviisuissa.<\/p>\n

Toinen musavinkki on naistrio nimelt\u00e4 The Puppini Sisters<\/a>. He elvytt\u00e4v\u00e4t hienosti harmonialauluperinnett\u00e4 Andrews Sistersien hengess\u00e4, \u00a0tekem\u00e4ll\u00e4 uusintalevytyksi\u00e4 vanhoista klassikoista, mutta my\u00f6s moderneista biiseist\u00e4. Ryhm\u00e4 perustettiin vuonna 2004 mutta kuten muotia on niin t\u00e4ss\u00e4kin tytt\u00f6b\u00e4ndiss\u00e4 on kokoonpano jo ehtinyt muuttua sen j\u00e4lkeen.<\/p>\n

Suosittelen n\u00e4in joulun alla tutustumaan erityisesti heid\u00e4n joululevyyns\u00e4 Christmas with The Puppini Sisters. Muita omia suosikkejani ovat erityisesti Puppinien versio Kate Bushin Wuthering Heightsista, Crazy in love-cover sek\u00e4 ihana klassikko Moon river joka aika tehokkaasti aukaisee kyynelkanavat. Kommentoikaa ihmeess\u00e4 olivatko n\u00e4m\u00e4 teille jo ennest\u00e4\u00e4n tuttuja ja mit\u00e4 piditte jos eiv\u00e4t.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Second door in the Christmas Calendar presents music recommendations. Sometimes I find it exciting to listen music when I don’t understand the lyrics. Lyrics are important ofcourse, but sometimes it’s fun just to listen the music itself and what kind of feelings it gives. And perhaps sing out loud the lyrics without understanding what they say.<\/p>\n

So without further ado, I give to you Anggun<\/a>, who sings in her native language, english and french. She’s singer-songwriter soon in her 40’s, was born in Jakarta but has now moved to France. I first got familiar with her music in late 90’s when her Snow on Sahara-album was released in Europe.<\/p>\n

Her dark and soft voice is very attractive to me and her ethnic background can be heard on some of the songs. I suppose the style could be described as melodic pop with touching lyrics. Later albums also take vibes from jazz and modern music styles. 2012 she took part in Eurovision Song contest with french song Echo, which was one of my favourites in the contest.<\/p>\n

My other music tip is female trio called The Puppini Sisters<\/a>. They are reviving the harmony singing tradition, in the spirit of Andrews Sisters, by making re-recordings of old classics, but also modern songs. Group was founded in 2004 but as the fashion goes, also this girlband has gone through some member replacements.<\/p>\n

When Christmas is so close at hand, I recommend their Christmas album Christmas with The Puppini Sisters. My other favourites are especially Puppini-version of Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights, Crazy in love-cover and lovely classic Moon river, which always clears out the tear channels for me. Please do leave your messages, did you already knew all these lovely ladies and what did you think of them if you didn’t knew them before.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
