Go, since it seems that we are in winter, évadons us toward the sun and blue seas of the South. Evadons us, yes, but not by boat, it is no longer too much nowadays, and especially not by plane. Take the same means of transport that the musicians who recorded these four songs without leaving France évadons us with music!
This disc, which for a time was part of the collections of the Disco Central Broadcasting and Television French, is one of the many recordings of Harry Hougassian , French master of Hawaiian guitar.
Shortly after being attacked on a previous 45 laps Hula Hoop Harry Hougassian Jean Jaconelli Ensemble and the South Seas in the Paris suburbs address here other shores, those of Cuba and Cha-cha-cha cha with Hula, a hybrid version of the famous Cuban-Hawaiian Hawaiian War Chant, and those of Tahiti with the always excellent If you've been to Tahiti . Far from the traditional music of the islands, they take to the sauce Hawaiian another success in 1958, Hello darling , the French version of a track called Return to me in English. I do not know who did it in French first, but nothing that year, Sacha Distel, Tino Rossi and Dario Moreno have all got their own version! The last title is not a takeover, but it's almost like. Signed John Jaconelli, tequila Hula is a quasi-rock track, obviously informed by the Tequila Champs, another tube 1958.
From beginning to end, the disc is excellent, with very good sound. It is not evident with this type of directory, but it is energetic and full of attack. In addition to the Hawaiian guitar, there's electric guitar, including a part on the bass strings nearly saturated Hula cha. There is also brass on many temperate and Hello darling If you've been to Tahiti , and throughout percussion effective, especially Hula on tequila.
This is also probably no coincidence that, outside of Harry and Jean Hougassian Jaconelli, the only musician of all credited by name on the disc label, is the percussionist in Elie Touitou the darbuka.
Touitou, the name caught my attention. I know only one Touitou in the world of music, Jean Touitou society APC, whose music section was particularly successful with Think About Mustapha feat to combine on a single disc Comelade Pascal and Jonathan Richman . Jean Touitou who organized a concert in 1978 Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers at the Theatre Mogador .
Regarding Elie Touitou, Liberation in its edition of February 15, 2000 teaches us in announcing his death that he primarily career under the name El Tounsi Kahlaoui. There is a more detailed biography in the evening program held at the Bataclan in his honor March 13, 2002. A particular room because, in addition to a long career as a musician, singer and conductor, Elie Touitou has long owned the record company Dounia, who published a very large number of Jewish-Arab singers, and he had also acquired Bataclan and a small recording studio in the late 1970s. Lili
Boniche has long recorded at Dounia, but when he returned to the front of the stage, APC is that his records were released. Is it mere coincidence due to homonymy or Elie Touitou and Jean Touitou of APC are they related? If it did, it would tend to prove that the gene for music and passion for music is hereditary!
