Présenté le 17 juillet en clôture de la 74ème édition du Festival de Cannes, le 3ème volet des aventures d’OSS 117, le plus français des agents secrets, arrive en salles le 4 aout ! Toujours interprété par Jean Dujardin mais réalisé par Nicolas Bedos, Alerte rouge en Afrique noire s’annonce comme l’épisode le moins politiquement correct de la série. Comme pour ses précédents films, Nicolas Bedos est accompagné d’Anne-Sophie Versaneyen pour nous proposer une bande originale digne des meilleurs films d’espionnage ! Aux thèmes orchestraux rythmés qui accompagnent les tribulations de notre héros, le duo nous dévoile une chanson originale interprétée par Indy EKA. La chanteuse franco-camerounaise nous propose un hit soul dans la lignée des plus grands thèmes des James Bond. A noter qu’une reprise du mythique Le Freak du groupe Chic par Tessa B ou encore le célèbre Superman des Commodores complètent cette bande originale détonante.

Aside from Roger Dean's iconic cover illustrations, Greenslade weren't like most prog brands of the 1970s. Keyboardist Dave Greenslade and bassist Tony Reeves formed the quartet in 1972 after leaving jazz-rock outfit Colosseum. Eschewing guitars, they hired Samurai's Dave Lawson as a second keyboardist, and former Manfred Mann drummer Andrew McCulloch (he also played on King Crimson's Lizard) . The band's approach utilized typical knotty, stop-and-start cadences, and key and tempo changes, but those are only a few elements in their complex soundscape. The rest of Greenslade's sound reflected a penchant for catchy melodies derived from pop, jazz, classical, and folk. Keyboardist Lawson spent years backing singers including Bing Crosby and Peggy Lee. Greenslade, Reeves, and McCulloch came up in the British blues and jump R&B bands of the early 1960s. The remastered albums in this box mark their four studio outings: 1973's Greenslade and Bedside Manners Are Extra, 1974's Spyglass Guest, and 1975's Time & Tide.

BulletBoys is an American heavy metal group. The band was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1986. The group's original lineup was composed of former Ratt and Kagny and the Dirty Rats[3] guitarist/King Kobra lead vocalist Marq Torien (vocals), former King Kobra guitarist Mick Sweda, Lonnie Vencent (bass) and Jimmy D'Anda (drums, percussion). The group released two successful albums and had a number of singles featured on MTV between 1988 and 1991. From the 1990s onward, the group went through numerous lineup changes, with the exception of Torien who remained the only consistent member, which featured musicians such as Steven Adler (ex Guns N' Roses, later of Adler's Appetite), Jason Hook (Five Finger Death Punch) and DJ Ashba (ex Beautiful Creatures, Sixx:A.M. and Guns N' Roses). The original band reunited for one show in December 2011 before disbanding again. In December 2019, BulletBoys original lineup reunited again for a show at the Whiskey A Go Go.

Creation can be a lonely process. The meticulous crafting of art frequently requires isolation for focus, but the process can be aided by the spark of a change of location or meeting new collaborators. Cellist/composer Hank Roberts believes that the acts of creating and sharing music help bring positivity needed to balance the world. In essence, bringing more of a particular life-sustaining energy into the world, namely, love. How better to spread love than through enthusiastic participation with friends in artistic endeavors?
