Oum – Lágrimas Negras – Loustic Sessions

This is Oum and her band’s version of the beautiful song by the Cuban composer and singer Miguel Matamoros. This gentle interpretation gives me goosebumps.

Brad Mehldau – Teardrop • Live at Vienne 2010

Brad Mehldau plays Massive Attack’s track in an acoustic piano version. It feels like he took the phrasing of Elizabeth Fraser and played it on the keys, making us hear two versions at once.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Toccata • California Jam 1974

I had this full show on DVD when I was a child. Emerson’s approach to music and keyboards influenced me a lot, and the band’s compositions are a big part of my psychedelic journey in music.

Ibrahim Maalouf – Will Soon Be A Woman • Live in Istanbul

As you see, I love live versions. This one (around minute 10 in the video) is a powerful performance.

Marvin Gaye – I Heard It Through The Grapevine

Love Gaye’s vocals and the iconic recording of this track.

Led Zeppelin – Babe I’m Gonna Leave You

I fell in love with this song as a broken-hearted teenager, amazed by how music can guide you through a full emotional journey. He leaves, then he comes back, and you can feel every turn of the heart.

Miles Davis – Time After Time • Live 1985

Miles has always been an icon for me. Always ahead, always exploring something when performing.

Asmahan – Nawit Adri Al Omi

Asmahan was a Syrian Egyptian singer who blended Arabic classical and Western influence. One of her most known songs.

Daft Punk – Veridis Quo

Endless tune. The synths, the melody, the atmosphere. Just forever.

Adi Goldstein – The Unspeakable World (Alan Watts speech)

Ambient melodies surrounding one of Alan Watts most touching speeches. A reminder of how vast and infinite our experience of the world can be.

Omer Keinan and Kadmon ‘Cuba’ is out now on Make The Girls Dance Records.
