Saturday Matinee – The Romain Vuillemin Quartet, Samantha Fish & Albert Castiglia

The Romain Vuillemin Quartet covers Django Reinhardt in fine Hot Club fashion, and it’s perfect road trip at sunrise music.

Samantha Fish recorded her take on Ronnie Love’s 1961 original, and it works.

Florida slidewinder Albert Castiglia is vicious in an Elmore James meets Negan Smith kind of way.

Inspired by the American ”Wall of Death” motordromes, Maut Ka Kuan is the Indian version, considered more dangerous because of the lack of safety precautions, the walls are near vertical, and they drive cars in addition to motorcycles. It’s still a popular attraction at many events like Vijayasadhami and Magh Mela, culturally significant festivals celebrated in India and Nepal.
