My little chestnuts,

today we continue to set the scene for this Carmen Miranda week... And I'd like to introduce you to my awesome office mates RadioooooSo what are they? Well, they're Radiooooo ( with 5 "o") is a site where you can listen to music from September. Ok great thanks for the discovery. No, but wait a minute for the rest, it's so good! The concept is brilliantly explained in the little video on the site (paper addicts too...) Well, the concept is a world map, on which you choose the country, and the decade from 1900 to today. Gigantic music archives, magical sound curation, there's not all the music in the world but just the best songs according to them, they've selected the crème de la crème for your ears. If you're an expert in Polish music of the 40s (for example), send them your nuggets and they'll include them in the corresponding playlist.

So look forward to September, when you'll be able to listen to these rare sonic gems, Noémie and Benjamin have concocted a fruity playlist for our Carmen Miranda special week. Enjoy it here on Spotify and below you'll find the list of tracks with associated clips, so watch out! You can find the english version here
