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.

Always Love: 8½ Souvenirs and "L'Amour Toujours"
8½ Souvenirs, an Austin band of the 1990s that disbanded about 2000, is the performer of today's random tune. While called an American swing jazz band, this group led by French-turned-American lead guitarist Olivier Giraud was clearly influenced by gypsy jazz and other European and Latin American styles. The band's name came from the Fellini movie 8½ and the Django Reinhardt song Souvenirs. This song, L'Amour Toujours, is from 8½ Souvenirs' 1999 album Twisted Desire.
