Little Tempo Live at Hibiya Park



Thanks to a friend I had an extraordinary Summer evening so called 'stress-free' I guess.
My first experience of dub, and my first experience of dancing in the rain.

Dub is a genre of Jamaican music which sounds a bit like reggae but rather soft. I recognized the melodious sound of steel pan which my old friend used to play.

No dance no life.

Joe le Taxi

I was playing on guitar this too famous hit song by Vanessa Paradis with the chords below for nearly 5 years:

Em C D Am

This chord line also can also be applicated to 'Moi Lilota' by Alisee. Then I suddenly felt like listening to the original Joe le Taxi on YOU TUBE which made me realise that I was playing the wrong chords for ages... how shameful it was!! The proper one goes like this:

Em C Am D

This, with a major chord at the end, seems to give a rather positive impression than the old one I used to play... Of course the song is Cha-cha-cha it has to be more like cheerful. I just remembered now.
