![]() Long before she went blond and took her never-lying hips to the top of the American pop charts, Shakira was a raven-haired guitar rocker who’d hit peak superstardom in the Spanish-speaking world with her 1995 LP, Pies Descalzos. With a sweet track by Graceland collaborators Ladysmith Black Mambazo (“Nansi Imali”), its badass joy needed no translation. ![]() Full of funky, loping beats and gruff, Howling Wolf-style vocals (most prominently from “goat voiced” star Mahlathini). The greatest album ever to be marketed under the heading “world music,” this 1985 compilation of South African pop was a huge influence on Paul Simon’s Graceland that still sounds jarringly fresh today. A droning voice in the wilderness when they appeared in the Seventies, the duo would influence bands from Arcade Fire and the National to Bruce Springsteen, who covered Suicide live in 2016. Late-night listening to “Frankie Teardrop,” a 10-minute-plus tale of a multiple murder, is not recommended. Martin Rev’s low-budget electronics are violent and hypnotic Alan Vega screams as a rhythmic device. These New York synth-punks evoke everything from the Velvet Underground to rockabilly. Khan glided through the head-nodding “Everlasting Love” and the twisty-turny “Better Days,” and fans appreciated the adjustment: Ask Rufus was the group’s first platinum record. But after spending 16 months in the studio working on Ask Rufus, they came out with a record that gave their songs more room to breathe, anticipating the lithe, loose arrangements of Nineties neo-soul. But for all its sad realism, Butler’s is music that still finds solace, and purpose, in communal celebration.įronted by Chaka Khan, one of soul music’s most combustible singers, Rufus built its mid-Seventies sound on heavy-footed, guitar-slathered funk. Built on family ties (leader Win Butler, his wife, Régine Chassagne, his brother Will), the Montreal band made symphonic rock that truly rocked, simultaneously outsize and deeply personal, like the best pop.

It is here listed to provide some historical background for people that are new to this project. This text is also not available any more on the openser webpage. Note that this quote is rather old, and now the situation is to some degree different. We will therefore maintain close contacts with our former colleagues and SER project. You all like SER so we will do our best to maintain our exiting work and help the users of our solutions. The project is managed by three of SER developers. We welcome your contributions to the success of this project. We have decided to bring more dynamics into SIP world by creating this new project that can benefit of TLS and so many other contributions. OpenSER promotes a new management policy (OPEN) -for new code acceptance and code-through propagation- and development approach -design and architecture. We want to accelerate the integration of public contributions to the SER project. The reason for this new venture is the lack of progressing and contributions to the SER project from the other SER team members as well as the reticience to new contributions from project's community members. “OpenSER is a project spawned from FhG FOKUS SIP Express Router (SER). The following text is from the old “about” page of : A: OpenSER is a project spawned from FhG FOKUS SIP Express Router (SER) v0.9.3.
