(Oh okay! I looked it up. A <span style="font-style: italic;">guinche</span> is a seedy hang out. The tradition that Bénabar comes out of, the <span style="font-style: italic;">bals-musette</span>, is dance hall music that developed in the 1880s and does, like Tom Waits, often have an accordion and an exaggerated sense of lyrical play).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/10/30/2627910/quatre_murs_et_un_tot.mp3">Quatre Murs et un Mot</a><br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-AXjp3wcNk0&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-AXjp3wcNk0&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br />Infrequentable<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FBUPPI?ie=UTF8&tag=bklynsongofth-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001FBUPPI">Buy Bénebar at Amazon</a><br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33708996-2709740287092984617?l=brooklynsod.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>fbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10958231027439740625noreply@blogger.com0
