To mark the end of grant writing, a bit of a departure: Music that isn't political. A French band called Okou (words are in English). Tatiana Heintz (vocals) is a French woman whose mother is from the Ivory Coast and Gilbert Trefzger (steel guitar) is Swiss. His father is from Egypt. They are now based in the UK. I'm not sure how to describe their music, but I learned of it from one of my favorite blogs (and a daily read), The Brain Police. The blogger Microdot lives in rural France, hails from Detroit and was a professional musician. He and his wife are old friends. Enjoy:
