Buffalo Stance > Symphony For Improvisers??
My world is shaken
Where's the graemlin for "Fact too worthless to google?"
Cherry red v. Chicken Yellow
SAVE TONIGHT
Half-sister of singer Eagle Eye Cherry.
Step-daughter of jazz musician Don Cherry.
Was a few months pregnant with her first child when she performed in the "Buffalo Stance" video. Performed her "Blowing Kisses In The Wind" video with that first child and pregnant, again.
She is 1/2 black & 1/2 Swedish ----HUH?[/b]
Half-sister of Titiyo Jah
Speaks Swedish fluently.
Her biological father is Ahmadu Jah, a jazz musician from Sierra Leone
I heard a rumor back in the day that she got lyme disease and croaked. I think it was one of those weird KMEL started rumors.
Does anyone (bay related) remember when KMEL would spead crazy ass bullshit stories. I remember once they said that C Murder and Mystical were killed in a car wreck. Also they once said that Chris Tucker had AIDS and shot himself in the head.
"huh" what?
she sounds a lot more interesting then her music
Just that I don't seem to understand. Is black now a country? Or is Swedish a race?
If that was a quote from some website I'd say their description of her origins is a bit suspect. But yes, she is Don Cherry's stepdaughter with a Swedish connection. Her father Ahmadu Jarr came to Sweden in the late 60s and his percussion playing is featured on many Swedish jazz records. Neneh's sister Titiyo is a fairly well-known singer in Scandinavia as well.
new age steppers.
let's not forget Cre Summer, Ambersunshower, and Lisa Bonet.
What kind of a little kufi dude are you?
None of those artists were on her level--not even the one that inspired Paycheck's album.
as they were a couple of years ago (an Anton Corbijn exhibition) and they were
really uptight. Later that night, a band with 16- and 17 year olds were playing
when Neneh and Eagle-Eye went straight up to the stage after two songs, asked for
the acoustic guitar. The band left and Eagle-Eye played "Save tonight" and some
other songs with Neneh on backing vocals. Pretty much everyone looked like
By the way, Neneh did a rap-comeback in swedish a while ago. I heard it on
air once but they will probably never play it again, straight up dirty sex lyrics
peace
how dare you !
they are like the "matthew", "luke", and "john" of Kufi-fetishists the world over.
yes AND the new age steppers
I think it was one of the Meteku brothers but Im not 100% sure about that.
Anybody knows about that?
Dress
some 18-19 years old.
She also sings duet with Matt Johnson on "Slow Train To Dawn" from:
1986
A few years ago the word was that she had a house somewhere in spain and was basically chilling. She came a long way and was also part of the Wild Bunch Soundsystem aka Massive Attack, or at least affiliated with them (any Bristol heads on here can confirm?). I think she still lives of the radio royalties and sales money, which shouldn't have been too bad. Dunno nothing about a rapcomeback in Swedish though...
on a side note: Dj Mushroom, ex-Massive Attack, played both in "Buffalo Stance" and "Manchild" Videos...
Yeah she was part of the wild bunch back in the day and also sings backing vocals on The Big Wheel on Massive Attack's Blue Lines (It's not her fault it's the only shit song on the album). Raw Like Sushi is mainly produced by Mushroom and Bomb The Bass and I've still got a soft spot for it. Manchild is a classic in my provate mind garden and tracks like Here I Come are enjoyable enough.
Remember seeing her perform Buffalo Stance on Top of The Pops dressed in lycra cycling shorts while heavily pregnant.
It's possible to be black and swedish, ya know... Neneh was interviewed in a magazine where she said "Talk like sex" was a revelation for her or something like that. Right on.
