#2595: Covering the World
Listen to the bossa nova bounce of Nouvelle Vague’s latest collection of 80’s and post-punk music all-done up on this edition of New Sounds. Perhaps you’ll recognize their versions of songs by Blondie, Echo & the Bunnymen and the Buzzcocks.
Then Tuvan singer, electric guitarist and experimentalist Albert Kuvezin and his punk band Yat-Kha re-interpret tunes by Joy Division and Iron Butterfly, among others. Plus, The Yoshida Brothers, a shamisen duo, perform an arrangement of Brian Eno’s “By This River.” And we sample some acoustic renditions of David Bowie in Portuguese by Brazilian pop heavyweight Seu Jorge.
