“The Fourth Prahar” Afternoon Ragas by Dr Ashwini Bhide @Asia Society
第一次去Asia Society. 在一個高檔(High Art) 的場景(Setting) 看一場在印度屬於High Art 的Vocal classical performance. 在一個午間. 說不出的 LUXURY. I have to say.

Keali'i Reichel - 11年前夏威夷的繾綣
猶記得11年前的夏天, 隻身在美國夏威夷, 浪蕩在書店和唱片店. 沒有半點期望下, 隨便戴上耳機試聽當地最流行的pop, 赫然驚為天人, 歌曲不是想像中的吵耳美式R & B, 而是田園的夏威夷土語country + pop, 旋律簡單但悅耳, 而且首首動人, 沒太多考慮便買了2隻CD. 細看歌手-Keali'i Reichel 原來是夏威夷本土人, 據bio介紹是當地最流行的singer, 擅長以pop形式翻唱夏威夷本地土歌謠- 這些歌以土語相傳, 歌詞不離深情的愛情歌頌, 簡單的拍子和melody正能配合夏威夷hula dance 草群舞的節拍, 無論聽或看都賞心悅目.
好surprised這麼出色的歌手這些年來只限在夏威夷境內大熱, 未能打開國際市場, 連網上資料也是寥寥可數, 可能跟歌曲用土語演繹有關. 每隔不久總要聽聽他的好歌, 縱使語言不通, 卻未能阻隔他音樂的力量-簡單, 醇厚, 熱切, 深刻, 活脫脫就是夏威夷原住民的本色; 音樂既保存了原住文化和語言, 更包含了他對自身身份的捍衛和熱愛.

アンジェラ・アキ Angela Aki - 手紙 ～拝啓 十五の君
令人感動的旋律和歌詞! 每人也會經歷年青, 成長, 失落, 倒下....再站起... 這就是人生, 就是活在世上的必然過程. 誰給我打氣? 誰平息我內心的陷阱? 惟有未來的我, 寄予祝福的信, 給當下的我力量和寧靜!
想想這些信, 也曾在我生命中出現過..... 今天, 我又是否比當年信中的我更頑強?
發現有劉若英的國語版本, 詞還算忠於原著, 雖然還是愛Aki的激昂和味道.
想一想,現在也要跟60,甚至80歲或在天堂的我握握手,把一切好好準備,笑笑把今天交接給她.哈哈.

THE HAND BEATS - GANESH KUMAR Hong Kong Drum Concert 南印度手鼓音樂會
Kanjira Solo with Ganesh Kumar, on Youtube
很久沒看現場的印度音樂和舞蹈, 心靈食糧實在久餓. 難得來自南印的敲擊大師送上天曲, 頓覺如歷知性之旅, 飲水已足.
開場前.

Another musical hit... "No Matter What" by Boyzone
DL Andrew Lloyd Webber song collection CD (I have one actually!) and discovered this gem- "No Matter What"- from the 1996 musical Whistle Down the Wind, written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman and popularized by the group Boyzone. The melody is the familiar 1980's one, which can whirl you in the air... well, listening to the 'no matter' declaration by the white fresh 'boys' are real cool ....

Sarah Brightman and more...
從張惠妹的time to say goodbye, 到 Sarah Brightman 和 Andrea Bocelli 的 Time to say goodbye, 喚起了 當年對 musical / opera 的音樂震撼. 西方音樂, (vs 東方的) 和歌聲, 原本就是這樣, 力量和感覺油然而生.
想起了當年買過的CD- Phantom of the opera- 有動人的歌聲- music of the night..... 再聽, 依然讓人感動....

阿妹 Amei- 回憶中的歌聲...
久違了的阿妹
在昨晚什麼歌唱比賽的參賽者居然選了張惠妹的舊歌- <解脫>, 也是以前很喜愛的歌...它喚醒了我成長的代價- [因為解脫, 我重新出發了, 沒有解脫, 沒有今天的新方向,新世界和夢想.]我感激自己, 曾經解脫過了. 多謝阿妹.
另外一首同期好歌: [Time to say goodbye]

I have never been to me - Charlene
我Poly 日子的唱k飲歌. 當年的我很喜歡此曲的旋律和歌詞, 更喜歡中間的獨白. 當時其實對歌詞似懂非懂. 今晚嘴裡一直哼著這調子, search 一下youtube - 真好, 好歌重現了...
反覆聽和唱著這首女性的monologue, 內心有多重感受. 究竟我是歌者charlene的身份(identity),還是歌者的女聽眾(lady)的身份? 雖然今天的我並非如歌者般獨身女郎,卻也非甘願是個discontented mother & regimented wife. 我仍是我 - 心中永遠擁有空間和夢想, 任我闖蕩無彊界, 追求天堂的定義和境界卻又不是never been to me. 大概,歌者和聽眾我也不是, 對人世間的paradox, 只是一笑置之吧, 也許, 了解生命比活著更重要...
Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....
Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......
Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me

MEHFIL - Evening of Ghazal Great
Ghulam Ali from Pakistan
Talat Aziz from India
Jockey Club Auditorium, HK Poly
16/3/2007
Org by Jade Group
一個充滿北印波斯式綺麗婉約的晚上. 首次現場欣賞ghazal, 雖然poly的音響效果強差人意, 還是有點曲有盡而意無窮. 喜愛的Jagjit Singh式小曲音樂現場感染力很強- 輕柔, 易入口, 感人, 不明白Urdu語歌詞, 也知道是情歌, 醇厚如酒.
解說: Rag & Ghazal
拉格（Rag）是印度古典音樂的靈魂。它是一種旋律的框架，每種拉格都有自己特有的音階、音程及特定的旋律片段，並且表達某一種特定的情緒，另外即興演奏 在拉格的形式上佔了相當重要的部分。格扎爾（Ghazal）是北印度最流行的一種輕古典音樂體裁，本來是一種用烏爾都語演唱的波斯風格情歌。演唱的內容以 愛情居多，它的歌詞採用對句的形式，從5對到15對不等，每一個對句都是相當完整的。格扎爾的曲調優美動聽，歌曲形式短小，節拍亦不複雜，常採用6拍、8 拍。
拉格（Rag）與格扎爾（Ghazal）在演奏上有幾個共同點：1、樂曲開始前大多先彈奏共鳴弦。2、當鼓加進來時節奏明確。3、結束時力度弱收。至於不 同之處則在於：拉格是先以慢板或類似散板結構為開端（演奏時間較長），直到鼓聲加進來之後，節奏變為穩定明朗直到結束。而格扎爾在共鳴弦彈奏完之後（演奏 時間較短），馬上進入明確的節奏。拉格的音域較寬，演奏技巧也較複雜；格扎爾則音域較窄且維持在中低音區，其演唱者的聲韻平緩，如同歌誦一則愛情故事；並 且在每一段歌詞演唱之前，其間奏都是以相同的旋律作為導引，樂句段落分明。

港樂 Mozart in the City
都會莫札特4月29日大會堂 Concert Hall
很少看orchestra, 別人請的例外.
不過今次居然整場沒有睡著, 很難得!
可能近年聽印度classical多了, 有了不同的體會. 純音樂, 也不一定很悶; 意境和深度, 卻有高與低之分.
聽著西方的classics, 很有貴族的氣派感覺. 當然, 由撰寫, 演奏到欣賞, classics 從來就是為貴族服務, 所謂"high culture", 一切有板有眼, 一絲不苟. 一邊聽, 一邊想像自己身處偌大的舞池旁觀起舞翩翩的男女, 確賞心樂事.
