Amazing Songs & Other Delights #13 airs tomorrow (Monday 8th), 3-4pm on Yé Yé Radio. It is called The Smile On Your Face (Songs for Licas) is another in memoriam show. It was a joint creation between myself, Daniel Blaufuks, Fred Somsen Amândio Barbosa and Carlos Fortes. It was done for Licas (Luís Saraiva) drummer of Jovem Guarda and Pop Dell'Arte who died 35 years ago on the 4th of November .
The choice of songs is a mix of songs from bands he liked and songs/bands/artists we thought he may like.
On the tracklist choices, where two names exist, the first picked the band/artist, the second the song. The songs I selected are either of mourning, Funeral Blues, or songs that reminded me of him, how I have him on my 1986 diaries. Licas, and his unique way of being, also appears in Daniel's Lisboa Clichê.
For the show, I assemble the songs in alphabetical order. At first glance, it seemed to make sense. Together, it works, and sounds very good. It starts with songs from after his passing, goes through bands he liked, an instrumental from Jovem Guarda and a Pop Dell'Arte song (that he did not record, but for me is Licas, has his groove, joy and liveliness), to a lament, the aforementioned Funeral Blues, continuing with a selection of songs from bands he appreciated and others he may enjoy.
It is a special and emotional edition, filled with amazing songs, other delights, lots of love and saudades.
