A report on Tanya Tagaq, an Inuit throat singer from the arctic circle in the far north of Canada, who has brought the ancient art form into popular culture by mixing it with elements of pop and punk rock music.

Considered subversive by colonial powers and satanic by the Catholic Church, the funaná music style was repressed until Cape Verde’s independence in 1975. One of its most eminent performers, Victor Tavarès dit Bitori, even waited until he was 55 years old to record his first album in 1997. Since then, he has rehabilitated the tradition by practising the diatonic accordion, which is its characteristic instrument, in the company of a bouncing, jangly rhythm that is marked by the presence of a ferrinho – an iron bar that is struck and scraped by a metal rod.
Here, at the 2017 Banlieues Bleues Festival in Paris, Bitori remains impassive, chewing on a toothpick, whilst his audience float into a trance. Push back the furniture, you're gonna be dancing in your own living room!

1981 proved to be a banner year for premiere vocalist Chaka Khan whose album What Cha Gonna Do for Me achieved Gold certification and garnered the Grammy nomination for Best R&B Vocal Performance-Female. She also enjoyed a much-heralded album celebration at the Roxy Theater in Los Angeles. It’s a relatively short show (five songs, thirty minutes), but within that time period she sweeps the crowd off its feet with her energetic singing performance that teems with funk and soul supported by a top-tier band of brass and rhythms. The Diva slides into a funky groove, dancing happily to the music, and delivers ecstasy in a mix that at times touches on jazz. (On her recording she enlisted jazz giants including Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, Richard Tee and even bebop legend Dizzy Gillespie to contribute to the mix.) At the Roxy, she delivers a high-charged take on the Beatles tune “We Can Work It Out,” swings into the playful original “I Know You” (co-written by producer Arif Mardin), and sings into the wondrous heart of “Melody Still Lives On,” based on Dizzy’s classic “Night in Tunisia” that she and Arif arranged for her vocal transcendence. The second half of the video is an addition of the TV magazine Cover Story that talks to Chaka, her mother and friends. Dan Ouellette

A celebration of the last five years of David Bowie’s life with a detailed look at albums The Next Day and Blackstar, and the musical Lazarus.From the arrival of Major Tom to the disappearance of Mr Buttoneyes, there was never anything predictable about David Bowie. But perhaps no period in his career raised more fascination than those last five years. Through the prism of his last work, this film shows how Bowie returned to the core themes present throughout his career. Featuring interviews with musicians, designers and video directors who worked with Bowie during this time, this film is a fascinating insight into one of the greatest artists of modern times. David Bowie, 1947-2016
