Month: February 2020

Hello hope you guys are well – me just so excited and am excited because so many good vibes and why?? we are Inspired by many new things which are happening – I was https://youtu.be/GVu5n88c15w singing with the invisible orchestra last month and this track “They dont live that lifestyle” which was a long time coming together thanks to them for allowing me to do my thing –

the song talks about some things that mean a great deal migrancy and us “forenerz” we get so much bad press but the reality is no matter where in the lovely western world or other worlds migrants do the good work and the hard work and the just the long work https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/comfortably-numb-too -many in this world feel they who do the work are not recognised or vilified and so dont become cold dont turn away empathise realise this is since time migration mixing recreating and being recreated is all part of everyone –

Above is a song this love remains which is again another one of me projects and it is one i talked about i do get excited and this is exciting soul london songs sung written by Jason James and me – long project like all about healing and getting on with our lives on a personal level we have some wonderful songs they will be part of our legacy you may wonder why i chose the above photograph fragments are sometimes best to get the whole picture….

The next live show we do is also very important we choose to be with those that like and respect us and some people do far more then the average bear to make us feel worthy and to assist in action – The show on Sunday 1st March 2020 is in Chichester Park Tavern 11 Priory Road, PO19 1NS England we shall be doing 2 setts 4pm -6pm please come along

Above is a chap who grew upp very poor- and made sure the world knew about him and how he is still one of greatest inspirations of mine which wont surprise those that know me – The word genius is thrown around far too liberarly nowadays and most days and times – Lets look at what Genuis means to me- to change and influence the world an those around you to permenenatly effect to change what came before to create something out of nothing- James Brown did all those things…

Below is a dear friend who is doing his thing and we got linked in oz and hey has a sense of things Avi Misra and the song and the images talks about much and you will get the drift – Love is the key an all things peace is the way we always seek peaceful means https://youtu.be/nzJh1TcBhfk

so on and so forth ….. always say “please listhen to more james brown and regularly he will upplift you make you feel excitement” the Funk the Soul the concious words during part of his ilustrious career – Music heals cures and makes one feel good- Yes indeed!!! https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/soldier-for-peace in me vast catalogue here is a song has a little taste of something hope it inspires –

what we are and what we are not.we are a combination of so much and so much is the same – who can judghe us and why should we be judghed? what the point of law and order. whats the point of disorder? Some of us still so unhappy so unsatisfied so spinning in all directions and looking for perfection…. All of that- with all we have – fridghes and holidays and cars that go vroooom!!! reminds me off a song sung in urdu/hindi/punjabi mainly Englush https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/slow-it-down

We are definetly more privileged then most of the world we in our decadent west. West is best. I know i was told that i when young and i even wrote a song called “West is Best” thats why we came here as migrants to seek your wonderful western ways ….Thank YOU!!!

Here is the link https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/west-is-best thats the first song of East End Trinity (our electric rock band ) apropraite Babar Luck whould begin that band with that track!!!

Also we are actualy in the process of recording our 4th East End Trinity album below is a picture of that band – The original drummer mr. Andi Bridges is busier then most humans so we have been forced to get a super subb to fill in his shoes whilst he is busy with work. German born British chap called Keith Barnes he plays drumms for Blacklisted uk & Victim of me https://www.facebook.com/victimofmeband/videos/443529423238634/ that song is one of theirs Victim of me songs.

The other chap bassman extrodinare is Justin (pictured above) and hes often busier then mr.Bridges. we catch what we can when we can. Love to play shows with all me groups. I try me best to maintain some thread. The thread is golden. I make gold. I feel otherwise i whould not do what i do and how i do it. I do it a lott. To try and make the impossible possible. Each album i have made is a miracle with how it is and how i am. ha ha ha ha hee hee hee

Thats James (above) from Yeovil we mett in Dundee(uk) at Book YO Anne Fest 2018 and he organised that show chk poster below – i also found out

out that James and i were both spinn bowlers when we played Cricket when young (i was not very good i reckon he was a better spin bowler) – we played darts as well when young ……( actually we had a game on return utilising his dart board and our post andrenalin rush “round the clock” i did not even get past number 1 before james had completed the “round the clock” the objective being to go from 1-20 and finish on the bull or the outer ring ) -One of me songs comes to mind – “like Phil the power Taylor knows trebles for show doubles for dough ” that track called “Street Solgerz” https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/street-solgerz-part-1 as i love to tell people there will be another Jhon Brute album aka Babar Luck those who love the devil in me are looking forward to that – The Devil in us. To be precise. A fictional and intrigueing character.

That image above is me playing at that show 14th feb 2020 good show it was. Fun it was and the hospitality was outstanding. What more could one want food shelter good conversation. A safe and warm place to sleep. Thats something peoples who have done the Rock star thing dont understand that empathy that feeling that care . I have done the Rock star thing as well and still enjoy from time to time yes each to their own. My reasons and purpose and ambition is different strain from most humans…..

Yes i like to break me cowardly complient self into bitts -Bitts that cry and yearn and want whats all too reachable. A more just and fair world. I as a supersensitive human wants to raise awareness of how we are and i use me art and me kudos and me legacy to talk about LOVE. Love in all its forms and how without that real courage and love for all humanity we are all lost. we are allowing ourseleves to loose. So buckle upp get into it. you are smart and deserving spirit.

Brings to mind another song from me catalogue a album called “Voices” from The Babar Luck Experience (where i used electric guitar with a mainly a clean sound here is the link to funky track and that feeling when ,Reality kicks in https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/reality-kicks-in

yes this is just in time for me for this writeing thanks to the invisible orchestra for allowing me to bare me soul this happened on 19th jan 2020 in Nottingham its a song for the children of migrancy and dual heritage legacies and how migrants economic and the other kind build empires – https://www.facebook.com/TheInvisibleOrchestra/videos/187747929238025/

First and lastly remember this is just flash a spark a moment we are just a drop in the ocean and particle of sand and many before us did amazing things and made incredible sacrifices for the sake of the many and not the few and when it seems all but hopeless – wooooosh!!! you make it. we make it. we can make a better world.

All music we make avaialable from https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/ we have 17 albums on there created and molded by we – I have chosen as well to have no bar code as yet on some of those albums because with bar code comes enslavement. Harsh but fair. I do play but i play it my way ask https://www.billyliarmusic.com/ he will tell you i am not what u think i am – But he does get me at some points. I suggest get his music for that taste or https://timholehouse.com/ not surpriseing those two know each other and i know those two.

Those of you that have all what one needs like food shelter holidays friends lovers please dont stresss enjoy what you have have a thought have a read…

“Like Ronnie the Rocket knows we got hott shotts” thats a line from one of me albums and me only fictional character i do do. called Jhon brute aka Babar Luck . That character bizzarely is wrritten and putt together by humans that i grew upp with. But coz the “vibe” is not me i took on the sudinnim – of Jhon Brute coz it is not me. Hope that makes sense. We shall be doing another here is a link to the first. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/the-chronicles-of-john-brute-aka-babar-luck

Above is a picture of Aide Hardy (his hand actualy)he has had a hand in 5 albums of mine -He is a creative and a caring person also a harsh speaker when he wants to be. Coz those are the tools he uses. If you look at the photo there in the back ground is a chap called Tom Meadows who is a excellent drummer & he has toured the world with Kylie Minogue and Will Young he has also played on a record https://hungryandthehunted.com/ which is topp electric rock.

I called him affectionately the other day “a white platininum motherxxxxxr” a joke (coz Tom is a nice bloke and he is aware of me humour he was kool) That is a phrase that Bongo Eddy who played with Kid Creole and the Coconutts and James Brown used to describe white people- Specially if they are very white pale like white paper- that kinda hue- how i know that is coz Captain hotknives had some time with him(Bongo Eddy) who is a good friend from upp north a comedic songwriter topp musician and a great basss player from uk Bradford way (We have recorded two albums together(he plays bass with me) here is a link to the second one which is a full band album https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/captain-hotknives-luck-strike-when-the-knives-are-hot … Jokes? Enviroments? How they are used? Who is in the dominent position and who is not who larfs and who does not? Humour dont loose it its what makes us human. Dont use it to undermine cause pain or hurt please -(but do do be aware how it may be perceived) Because it can come back on YOU twofold.

Jolly good show gentlemen – gentlemen(very few out there but they do exhist) !! above is a picture of a very dear friend called Nasar he is a gentleman and a very good artist. We have shared lifes woes and highs and lows. Some will know him from me friendship with him. Some will be amazed we still know each other after all thease years. We have had many times of non contact but dare i say friends have to be honest to each other. That can make a break in the time as well as life and paths leading elsewhere “I was with Nasar we were talking about art and how it got us this far” from our song “Fight Game” /” Joe Fernanado” here is a link from the 1st version of that song from album called LUCK/FALK https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/joe-fernando

Above is a book i am reading and the second one from this writer as i say read books non fiction cause the fantasy of our world will be made clear. Just words and ideas and thoughts. Dont be hatefull. Specialy if you are dare i say the decadent westerner with your fridghes full and your 2 or three holidays a year & that devil may care attitude.. we all yearn to be more Life can be so green and wonderful in a isolated cell – Or we can run wild through the forests and mountains holding our loved ones sensing the wonderful nature and beauty and real laughter …Make of that what you will.

Above is a picture of a German born British man called Keith he is a bitt like Jason another one with same background “Kinspirit”- Keith and i are working on some new things and he is trying to be there for me for me two bands that i do play with – The Babar luck World citizen folk band – (thats sci fi folk) here is a link to that last album of that and we are doing the next one which will be “RAASTAA” https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/surajj-ka-dinn the other band i do is East End Trinity (Electric Rock band )and we have done 3 albums here is a link to a track i realy like from the the 3rd album https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/fresh

Above is a bitt of a ticket to a journey i made last month i like small momentos and how by chance it looks that way – that was me last trip out in the musical way we have another trip out this friday 14th feb 2020 & it is incidently the birthday of two of me dear musician friends baby boys how wonderful. Naturaly our background does not encourage false love but the real love that can be shown to those we do love and all humanity – Love your enemy and we can make a better world – Love thyself Forgive theyself Respect thyself- Honesty huggs cuddles cakes etc….

“The pious say that faith can do great things,and,even move mountians as the gospell tells us. The reason is faith builds Obstinancy.To have faith means simply to believe firmly-to deem almost a certainty-things that are not reasonable;or,if they are reasonable,to believe them more firmly then one warrants.A man(or woman)of faith is stubborn in his (or her)beliefs,he(or she)goes his(or her)way,undaunted and resolute,disdaining hardship and danger,ready to suffer any extremity.”

Above is a quote from -Francesco Guicciardini,Ricordi – you can make of it what you will. what we will is oft decided by a zillion factors the ego of us makes us think it is all us. We are many and its all us.

This week gone we have managed to get Raastaa which is a album and the third from The Babar Luck world citizen folk band documented-

That sci-fi folk sound some like to call it. In a way its appropraite we recorded the first chunk of it on friday 31st jan 2020. That date may mean something in the future. For me it will mean having documented around a dozen songs that have been practiced for last two and half years. Thease songs mean a great deal infact they were about twenty songs and in the editing and constant chopping some songs have been waylaid or forgotten and some have been torn out and some songs i have fell out of love with.

Thematic yes and damn happy to make that concrete statement -yes Happy to have done that.

Firstly a big thanks to the sir Eddie real for being patient and caring and respectful enough to assist in this procedure. Legacies we are both aware of. I only know Eddie as a gentleman and a very good percussionist and musician. I was not aware of his legacy and i am sure he is not realy aware of mine. Thats what makes that work. Thats why i suppose we got the work done which is a labour of LOVE. Thats what i do. Its all a act of LOVE. Because i am only in it for the music(which i LOVE) and the joy and light it brings(which i also LOVE)

I know the dark as well they are both equaly great teachers.

Also thanks to Al for bringing some bass into the procedure. We hope to have Al proceed with that we are not in a rush. But we will get it done sooner then later in musical sense of the world – or in Jamaican sense of humour dare i say ” soon come” – But that sound and that vision i have for TBLWCFB (the babar luck world citizen folk band ) can be heard in the first two albums via https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/

People oft ask me why bother to do something artistic that usualy has no monetary award? Or whats the point?

The point is there are many rewards and the process if one loves that process can be repeated a thousand times. Its like loving someone that special someone. So those great loves of the past and present is why i do me artistic music and enjoy the whole process because it satisfies me and brings joy and light to humans.

Particularly for me also i bring the dark sometimes most dont hear it because most dont listhen but its there – its maybe your greatest fear its there and its conquered.

Or i allow the dark to seep in to make me complete. We cant be all light. we cant be all dark.

Also Because i am worth it. you are worth it. we are all worth it. There is a place in the choir for all the children. Or Equal rights and justice is a mustice. Sleep tight or have a good day or a good thought for all humanity and remember the Babar Luck 3 points (cliched but true)

1/ Love thyself 2/forgive thyself 3/respect thyself….
