Kahimi Karie is darling! Be sure to check out her full length. (I remember it
as having her with headphones on.) Very cutesy, fluffy stuff! do you know
Momus at all?
We'll Momus and Kahimi do alot of work together on Momus' label - Le Grande
Magistery - I prefer Kahimi anyday over Momus. (he's alitlle too femme for
my taste haha!) Anyway, Kahimi's song, "I am a kitten" so cute! I can't wait
until you hear more!

<< Hey All,
Just picked up "Giapponese A Roma", a 7" by Kahimi Karie. I haven't a clue
who she is, but I'm assuming she's Japanese by virtue of her name and
accent. The only reason I picked it up was the dust jacket art which is a
mid-60's commercial art styled illo of the titular Japanese Girl next to a
Vespa--rather darling.
I set it on the record player expecting the worst and was more than
pleasantly surprised by the bossa nova lounge-pop that you're all familiar
with, as well as a couple of reggae-esque tunes. Miss Karie's breathy,
little-girl vocals sit nicely on the ears in all the languages she uses
(Italian, French, Spanish and English), and it's just a plain ol' cute
record (also available on cd for a couple more dollars).
It's licensed from Crue-l Records via Siesta 73 in Madrid. Haven't done any
research on them, but if anyone has more info, please share.
Your Pal,
Tedford >>
