Fatoumata Diawara recommended Lamomali by Mathieux Chedid, Toumani Diabete & Fatoumata Diawara in Music (curated)

"We did this collaboration with Toumani and Mathieux, a French artist. We met on the road, at different festivals. Mathieux is big in France - He's like Damon Albarn in the UK. I loved this project because it was my first time collaborating with a French artist. It's also a different type of singing. It's very fragile, nobody did it before: singing in French and singing in Bambara. It was difficult to find the middle. But in the end it worked, so I'm really proud of this project."

Movie Favorite Watch

"This movies brings me back to my first years discovering cinema. In the South of France, where I grew up, the first video-clubs were in newsagents. One could mostly find horror and porn movies. This is how I discovered Carpenter, Argento, Cronenberg. In Assault on Precinct 13 and in a lot of other Carpenter films a man is trying to reconstruct society. At the time, horror films were rooted in real emotions and actual fears, like Dario Argento’s fear of the Red Brigades."

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The Lost Vintage in Books

Oct 5, 2020

France and fine wine are practically synonymous, so when Kate needs to study for her Masters of Wine test, where else would she go but to her own family’s vineyards in Burgundy? There she finds there’s much more that’s been corked up than just some delicious drinks. This is the basis of Ann Mah’s newest novel “The Lost Vintage” and you can read my review of this contemporary and historical fiction book on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2018/07/27/bottling-their-history/
