Month: June 2022

Yes good to know ones history. Then one can learn about the future. Lott of peoples take a look but dont see. It is important to know as when people speak they assume they know. We are all born in a place and a land we had no choice to be born in. Like all of us to parents and bloodlines we had no choice over. Why make a big deal it is to most people a real BIG deal. There you have it a conundrum. Humanity and its bizarre way of living. For those who may like a soundtrack some music to that feeling those emotions chk https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/music in it we talk a great deal about belonging. One from none. Or more importantly recognising things that unite us.

I like to use language that brings to the forefront what is family. I have a large vast family in the real. Although in reality i am in touch with two others in me actual bloodline. If you got blood and they are good blood or decent humans be grateful. Many are lonely and many want to reach but cant due to variety of issues conditions or becoming separate. And separation once started can increase. The distance becomes more embroiled in power envy resentment and loosing touch. Bloodlines have cycle of repetition and this be good cycles or simply bad ones. Thats me “cuzz” mr. Blake(pictured above and below) those two pictures are a decade apart maybe more. We are both musicians. He definetly looked after me and some of our mutual “friends” definitely looked after him. We are both good. We are ok. We know what’s what. It was good to see him again after the lockdown and all that’s happened in the last 3 years. We played with TBLWCFB or BLWCFB (our sci-fi folk band) It was a “banger”it was a “happy Babar” set – the whole set is on me youtube(chk link) channel you can hear it it is fun there is a build up. It moves. I am told to tell people to subscribe to my channel. You do that if you feel to. No pressure. https://youtu.be/4yrNDdLmN4s

If you look at me slog/blog. There are many topics I cover. As I uncover myself. We all have to stand naked and it is ok. Sometimes we notice what we are sometimes we dont see who we are. Again be aware to love yourself. We all will change. Accept change. Embrace it western culture is at odds with eastern culture. Balance is moderation. Moderation is not too much or too little. I have found balance and moderation allows one to see the truth around us. Clarity and reaching a utopian bliss can be done simply without any vices or others being in close vicinity. To make time for Solitude and practice not only ones music and ones hobbies but being oneself. Especially those who live in cities and those built up areas. Those away from nature can find nature in its essence we return with volume when we have silence.

Any form of extremism is a failing. Some times in extreme situations we choose what we would not normally do. Those who have lead peoples wil get what i say. Those who follow may not. Lead and then you wil find. seek and you wil be shown. Love all me units and the music we make within them. The one above is kinspirit we play a place many have called their “home”. Four walls are not a home the ideas within those walls make a safe place. Power to those that speak for those who cannot speak. Power to the peaceful.

Power to the gentle loving humans. But as you are aware the bullies and the greedy tend to have the most power on this earth. So this again is a conundrum and we have to protect our families and children if under attack via violence. Diplomacy communication discussion must take place. Compromise which is mutually beneficial can be sought. Protecting and guarding our loved ones via any means necessary is intelligence it is also common sense. A song we shall as kinspirit https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/track/empires-fall

That chap above I have also know since he was 16 (those eyes) he is of dual heritage (may be not does it matter? it does matter a great deal). He is the chap I felt had that wisdom intelligence good ideas and able to play a instrument in tune that is difficult to play. No offence to the others in that band they are all top musicians. What defines something or makes something stand out from the crowd. Is that other something. He has that other something. I was pleased he has continued to write and does theatre type stuff other writing adventures. He also continues after a a hiatus to play in that wonderful musical unit. With one of the original members another one who has been pictured in me slog/blog again a very good band. chk them out. Random hand is the band.

I was touched to see a hoodie being worn that are very rare. The silhouetteof me face that says BABAR LUCK. Those that know me only know me basically for a short time. They may not be aware I have done more then most humans in that artistic field I am in. I also dont like to blow my own trumpet too much. I am good at blowing my own trumpet when i feel to. Merchandise yes a necessary evil or maybe i am making too much of a deal of that. I live in reality i have clarity. The Luck brand has some products you can purcahse directly from this website two actual cds.

All my albums one can download via https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/ there we go two times that been mentioned. Do if you wish to do that. That will help and those that try and make me more business minded Wil be happy because that Wil stop me from asking them for funny paper. Also those wonderful musicians who play with me wil get what they deserve. It wil enable me to make more fun stuff for your consumption. To make you happy. whoop!!! whoop!! Below a rare pic of our of the top Borg. Above. A close up shot. Excuse the blurriness the Borg is not keen on the limelight he feels I am far better suited to it….

Another chap who work with and is not pictured enough. I did manage to get his whole body in. Anyways topp man and i wil give you a link to a track we worked on recently the second album he has done with me. It is for me electric punk/rock/groove band East End Trinity and it is about being ONE. Also what i have being artistically all me life. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/banging-the-mike

Above and below are two shooters. Please dont define our LUCK world. It is not be putt into a convenient box. It cant fit into a square. The root of the square. The amazing wife is above shooting better then me. The wonderful wife does most things better then me that’s why i am honoured to be her husband. Thanks to the chap below playing a bass guitar for inviting us. Second time I have done that activity about a decade apart as well. It is for pure fun and recreational purposes. As all gun activities should be. Again our leaders tend to abuse that and show our children and most of the world populace to do the same. Again i shall move away from that topic and end this slog/blog.

stay bright in the dark. Also our creativity and music is a dance in the dark or simply a intune scream. We dance the “trying” ballet. we move we smoove we wriggle and we wiggle. Love you all til next time

#realpeoplelove #uncleronisneverwrong

We make music to make you happy. We make music to help you dance. We make music and join hands (if you want to). Music it is one thing if used with LOVE at it’s heart can fix all grievances. Music can also help you to live alone. Music can help you live with others. Music can make the weak strong. Music I make is all about LOVE. Not the rom-com corporate capitalistic kind of Love. Or the kind of love that is based if i give you then you give me. -hmmm…anyway a track from the latest sci-fi folk music https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/cities-that-never-sleep we are in Salisbury at the Winhester gate pub Uk tom chalo chalo (come along come along)…thanx to mr. Blake.

The above is a poster is what mr. Dortmund help make. It is based on the picture that the chap from TMR records took who has helped us make music Independently last three years . Thanks to the Scotsman living down south helping us out. I think that picture captures something of what that world citizen folk sound is about. It is fearlessness in the face of adversity. It is absolute no compromise. It is equal rights and justice for all the children on this earth.

To me It’s Rabbi Herchel Gibbs marching next to Martin Luther king Jnr. It is you holding my hand telling me “Dont let go”. It is Jedi music. It is diplomacy. It is beating down fists on the bully. It is you and me eating ice cream and watching Awaara starring Raj Kapoor and Nargis. It is Rumi spinning in infinity we are never apart. It is the light before the dark. It is spiritual fun and damn stupid at times. I bring the stupid always. Because peoples including myself take myself too seriously. It is a journey and it begins with you and it will end when it ends. All empires fall nothing is forever. Dance the trying ballet. We mean it man.

The above picture is for another sound we do. It is distorted guitars and banging drums. It is electric rock music. It is also Love based. But it has a bit more anger nothing wrong with anger. Nothing wrong with fighting those who hurt us and try and disturb our children from peaceful times. Sometimes it takes a piece to make peace. That is not fatalistic or fantasy. It is simple truth. Pacifism and cuddles are all good but when that become oppression and violence.

Then you decide how best to end that. Or seek advice or forgive and move on. Or smash the enemy till the enemy hurts you and your children no more. I always say diplomacy communication empathy can fix anything. Cowards use guns.Power to the peaceful. A song about what i am talking about and sadly the world our leaders choose to make. We are all complicit in this world. We do get the leaders we deserve. “Harsh but fair” as the drummer from East End Trinity mr. Bridghes would say. A track about what is happening every day… https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/travel-that-road

The picture above is a sticker of Kinspirit. A musical collaboration a infusion of country folk Cultist Movements. Two blokes singing songs about life experiences and how to heal ourselves and others. To also have a good time. Please do chk the ep I love those songs. https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/track/rainbows-ice-cream

so, slow steady stepps with each recognising the objective and the end conclusion. And again Power to the peaceful. Sometimes each to be alone is best. Sometimes something must give so we can forgive. He who forgives ends the argument.

Appropriately we shall end this slog/blog and wish you all the best in all things. Do come along chalo chalo ( come come lets go lets go ) to our shows and possibly see you tomorrow …in Salisbury 18th June 2022 Winchester Gate in this green and pleasant land. till next time

Anarchy and Allah begin with a A. That is one of me best lines been using that since I was a child. Music is something we love to do and making it realy does reach what I consider the Devine. All people are my people. We are one humanity. You are not me and I am not you. We are one. simple once one switches of the machine that machine we made you made we are not separate from this or that. What we putt in is what we get out. Honestly it is all subjective. For ideas to unify without lies always chk https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/music the above is our world citizen folk band 2022 – our last album is called Rastaa you can buy directly from website or download from the link above.

Our next live show address and details above http://thewinchestergate.com is for a chap again he has known me since he was a child. He has also seen me through a lot of changes. We have had some real personal issues. We have reached the other side. He and his wonderful wife run a very nice pub in Salisbury the pub is a family pub and it has a lovely little stage and room for live bands. Because mr. Blake is a top musician and loves live music. We would love you to attend this show. All me Live shows are rare ones . So do come along.

The other guitar is a modified Les paul copy from China. I shall be making complete some new songs this afternoon. In London the city that never sleeps. Wil be with some top musicians. And dare I say those that love me.

We are highly emotional humans. I know I know. Don’t take any of what I suggest to heart and apart from, my job is make you happy, to cause mirth make you feel Devine. The wife says to me “stop, please and dont!!!” cheeky jokes. Love what else is there to believe in. Please do check that first sentence of this slog/blog and think about, how important you are.

Bethan is the violinist in the world citizen folk band. We are very blessed to have the conscious academic and straight talker in our fold. We are always obsessed with what we love. It confuses one. It should not. So all our music and art is about bringing commonalities together. Bringing humanity together. Its that sound. The world citizen folk band is also as it happens the happiest of my musical outpourings in a live setting. To bring joy and make you smile. Show you how we all can make a better world. A link to our latest cd of that sound. You can also buy directly from website. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/rastaa

So as a example of what peoples around me do. To carry on about what was talked about by Bethan here is the link to the sonic Rebellions.

https://www.wandacanton.co.uk/sonicrebellions

Very good to have peoples in my world doing things of this ilk. Incidently Lowkey who is a activist musician also gave a talk those on the outside of mainstream pop culture may recognise him. He spoke Bethan said at length about the Grenfell tragedy and seeking justice for those fallen. Also he quoted James Baldwin which made her smile as James Baldwin is one of my favourite creatives as well. Common knowledge to those that know me. Justice and seeking truth cant be got from within it must be from the outside in. I asked her what it was about and how it went – this is what she said – 

“ It was all about sound and social justice – which exactly my passion! Always been interested in as a musician, but the PhD has let me explore in a different way.Talk I did was all about what I’ve learnt about listening through doing listening methods (listening walks) with residents’ in gentrifying neighbourhoods. I was arguing for opening up what listening can mean to people, different ways we listen…thinking about what ‘participatory listening research’ is. Was really lovely bunch of people – lots of musician academics interested in justice issues.” here is another track i love from our latest world citizen folk band . https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/cities-that-never-sleep

Also in our world citizen folk band we have who i call “cuzz” his name is keith he plays cahoun in that unit. Pictured above back to back. If i call you cuzz it means I see you as fam. If I say cuzz you can say uncle. It is how we move. It is ok if you wish to call me by some other title as wel. It is our cultural expression. Cuzz Keith organised a session to play at the Fudge Patch some tunes. It is the second picture in this slog/blog. They at the Fudghe patch in Greenwich London uk specialise in making Fudghe. Due to the Fudghe Patch being open minded they were open to us playing some music that is all about love compassion forgiveness and happy times. To make better world for all the children. Unity through diversity. A place for all to sing in harmony.

The above picture is me God child holding the baby of a fearless kinspirit. From the other night a show that was very special. Check our last slog/blog . I was told by those that dont know me that in “our religion we dont have Godchildren” I told them I am on the certificate of that paperwork that i signed in the church where she was was baptised. I dont follow any faith but the faith of LOVE for all humanity. Dance in group or dance alone. Even if we are just dancing in the dark. In a way all conscious voices are a scream in the dark against injustice for those who have no voice.

Footnote. Pictured above one of me dear friends and a musician Mark “the hook” Meller . He is not in and out but always in my world. He is playing guitar on a album called “Song’s for our children” it will be completed when it is completed. It will be done when it is done. Soon come. He has not been pictured in me slog/blog i think for a while. That is decent picture. I took it. A footnote. please chk all of our vast library of work. THERE is rock/punk/folk/funk/country/solo/with band all made with 100% LOVE https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/

we also love to make some MORE live shows so tell your friends and your local venues. We want some LUCK. More importantly concentrate with what’s under your feet and in you close vicinity. Act locally think globally. Silence is golden. Make love more. That’s also something one can do in the dark or scream or combine the two or more then two whatever you fancy….till next time
