grave. That’s what her name means.”
At the age of 16 she won the Sanremo Music Festival in 1964 singing "Non
ho l'età" ("I'm Not Old Enough"), with music composed by Nicola Salerno

is regarded as influential in the development of Mexican rock music. As 3
Souls released 15 lps by 1985. Lora played bass. Started off singing in English
but changed to Spanish after Mexicos Woodstock called Festival de Av?aro
1971
Mexico had an anti-hippie anit-longhair policy (especially at the border).
They banned Hair after only 1 performance and deported many progressive musicians.
To get around holding the Festival, they billed it as a racing car event
(sorta like Strawberry Fields the year before). Est 500,000 attended. 3 Souls
were the last to play.
Alex Lora became the first Mexican rock band to have a Gold certified record
with their album "Simplemente" The 2008 Lonely Planet guide to Mexico calls
El Tri "the grandfathers of Mexican rock." 2006's Rock en Espana characterizes
them as "Mexico's quintessential working-class rock outfit." They have been

Recorded & Mixed by Dave Hillier at Comfort Sound, Toronto
I thought it prudent to segue out of obits with this pensive recording,
dedicated to the late Marvin Gaye, by a Toronto based bad that originally
came to life as Na Cabarfeidh. Their second album was called Rare Air and
confused a lot of people into thinking that Rare Air was actually the name
of the band so they became Rare Air. Lead by a couple of bagpipers, they
employed funk bass and the incredible percussion of Trevor Ferrier to develop
their signature sound. They were one of the first Canadian ‘folk’ bands signed
to the prestigious American label Green Linnet Records. They released six
unique albums of funky pipe songs.

part of the team that founded Toronto’s famed Caribana Festival. He then
formed the band Syncona [a play on the word for the South American plant

Sakamoto’s international breakthrough came in 1963 during a visit
to Japan by Louis Benjamin, an executive of British record company Pye Records.
After hearing the song several times, Benjamin decided to bring a recording
of it back to England. Due to concerns that the title would be too hard for
English-speakers to pronounce or remember, the song was renamed "Sukiyaki",
after the Japanese cooked beef dish familiar to the English. The new title
was intended to sound both catchy and distinctive in Japanese, but other
than the language, it had no actual connection to the lyrics of the song.

Produced by Mike Scott & Jamie Nolan, 1983
Recorded at Fiesta Studios, Toronto
Mike Scott took to the electric Hawaiian guitar in the late 1940s. He
was born in Wiltshire, England and learned to play properly before emigrating
to Toronto in 1954. Within days of his arrival he joined the musicians’ union
and was out working with local bands. He was given the nickname Malihini
...a Hawaiian word meaning 'a newcomer' to Hawaii. His Hawaiianaires were
frequent musical guests at the infamous Bali Hai room in the Ports of Call
restaurant where CHUM DJ’s used to hang out.
This album claims that it was recorded before a live audience, but the shoddy
production shows how the audience was dubbed in before and after every song.
