British folk musician and sixties legend Donovan has teamed up with French icon Zouzou for a charming, bilingual duet.
Donovan and Zouzou met 40 years ago through their common friends Brian Jones and George Harrison.
True to his reputation as a humanist troubadour, Donovan Leitch once again put his extraordinary talents to serve the cause of cross-border music and friendship.
As an actress and singer, Zouzou has been a cult figure since the French sixties and Swinging London. The video includes footage from the 1972 film by Eric Rohmer, Chloe in the afternoon.
Their unmistakable voices mingle on the beautiful track Cherchez l' Erreur (Spot the mistake) which will be included on Donovan's upcoming album.
This is not the work of a major label, but a true collaboration based on friendship and love. Donovan is currently busy working alongside David Lynch on opening a school in Scotland to teach youth the benefits of Transcendental Meditation, and Zouzou is working on releasing an album with all her friends from the 60s and 70s.
We are making the song and video available on MySpace and YouTube, but please consider supporting these artists and their endeavours by purchasing their work.
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem, & some songs, on myspace... Poem 187 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001
Out of the museum-and-gallery (Wiser on Cookson and the local way), Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me, Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay; Before, on either side, Marine Parks - The southern-one a most beautiful place, Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards In a small lake at a scenic-hill’s base.
Then (holding chips from the parade’s cafe And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above) Onto the South Pier I made my way: Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove - And high-and-dry sands held from transgression By growth of grass and the weaving of wood, Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun, Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth’s hood.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family And thank you for your friendship ......................................................... Knock on the sky and listen to the sound! ... Happy life and harmony to all. Cheers and Respect:) Global Beat
