Here is the mixcloud link for Amazing Songs & Other Delight #13 - The Smile On Your Face (Songs for Licas), 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 mixcloud version differs from the broadcasted one, it has a few more second of silence after Funeral Blues.
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. Listening to the show I also seem to have picked songs in which the drums and, or bass, are quite "in the front". Licas, and his unique way of being also appears in Daniel's Lisboa Clichê.
The songs were assembled in alphabetical order. At first glance, it seemed to make sense. Together, it works, and sounds very good, very Licas. 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. photo © Daniel Blaufuks.
