  3. NPR Music+: “Blue” by Eiffel 65

    HACE 5 DÍAS · CONTENIDO EXTRA • SÓLO PARA NPR MUSIC+

    NPR Music+: “Blue” by Eiffel 65

    In the mid to late 1990s, the U.S. music scene saw a boom of songs created by European dance artists that used English as a second language and became legitimate hits, despite not really making any literal sense. But there’s a history to nonsense in pop music, and we’re still seeing its influence on the Billboard charts today.   This week, NPR Music critic Ann Powers and editor Daoud Tyler-Ameen discuss an example of a gibberish song that took over the mainstream for a moment: “Blue” by Eiffel 65, from 1999.   To access this episode and every episode in this series, plus get sponsor-free listening for every episode of All Songs Considered and Alt.Latino, sign up for NPR Music+ at plus.npr.org/nprmusic.

    Alt.Latino: A Brazilian summer and a lost Mexican masterpiece

    So, I was away for a bit and the new music just piled up during the holidays, and while we were watching Bad Bunny make headlines at the Grammys and the Super Bowl. Our first new music episode of the new year has quite a variety of styles from lots of different countries. We could say that about just about every new music show we produce. But what are we to do when the amount of creativity that comes our way pretty much overwhelms us? Jump in for a summertime journey through the many sounds of Brazil, a fusion of indigenous and contemporary styles, and a lost relic of Mexican rock from the 1970s.  - Felix  Artists and albums: (00:00) Introduction(01:20) Amaro Freitas, Criolo, and Dino D'Santiago, 'CRIOLO, AMARO E DINO'(09:19) Javier Jara, 'Our Rhythms, Our Voices'(13:19) Infinito Latente, 'Sem Início Nem Fim'(19:19) Ernan Roch Con Las Voces Frescas, 'La Onda Pesada'(24:52) João Menezes &  Paulo Novaes, 'Coisa Híbrida'(30:02) Líber Terán, 'Canciones Del Desierto' This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.
