A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

The Stars Look Very Different Today: Seu Jorge and "Rebel Rebel" (In Honor of David Bowie)
As you probably heard, David Bowie passed away yesterday and tributes to his musicianship and legacy have been all over Facebook feeds and the wider media. We don't have much to add. I (Mike) was a latecomer to Bowie's music, but as a friend of ours, Sanford Allen, put it in a short but poignant Facebook post, one had to appreciate the restlessness that led Bowie to constantly reinvent himself and his music, which I agree is the way that life should be lived. For musicians, a heartfelt cover of your music is a sincere form of flattery, so, we are posting this beautiful cover of Rebel Rebel by Brazilian artist Seu Jorge.
