What is that foam? Some sort of pollution or a natural phenomenon?
RIP surfers.

He died in hospital in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, from complications following hip surgery after a cycling accident, that are not related to coronavirus.

A very common kind of injury in older people. Fiddy broke his hip, too. Sad to hear.

Aw man! His daughter and my sister were uni friends. Met him at her graduation and he was a super nice guy on the day.

I only noticed a couple of days ago that Marc Ogeret died in 2018. He was an excellent singer.

And Mory Kanté:
The Guinean musician Mory Kanté has died aged 70. His son Balla Kanté told the AFP news agency that his death was the result of untreated chronic health problems.
“He suffered from chronic illnesses and often traveled to France for treatment, but that was no longer possible with the coronavirus,” said Balla. “We saw his condition deteriorate rapidly, but I was still surprised because he’d been through much worse times before.” Kanté died in hospital in the capital, Conakry.

Wow, that’s the first time I’ve heard YeKe YeKe in its original format, we had great nights out to that song back in the day

Do you mean the video linked to in the article? That sounds like a digital remix to me, but I may be wrong.
The two songs of what was then marketed as 'world music' (I've never liked the label) that were played ad nauseam on the radio in Germany were 'Im nin'alu' and 'Yé Ké Yé Ké'. They both sounded great. Ofra Haza, of course, died very young.

Oliver, this is the version we used to rave to, I remember the cover
-

I see. The other version is how I remember the original, but there's something subtly different about the sound, I think. I remember it sounding better. I don't like the 'Afro Acid Mix'.

You have to be of a certain age to realise how much courage it took to be a gay activist in the 80s. -
