Hi All.
Remember when I talked about my own interpertation of Yello sounds...?
Well for who are interested, I've included a link to a mp3 file. It's a song that started out of boredome, and a question...
What to do with my shitload of Yello samples.
Real Yello fans will know what I knicked and what not.
This song wasn't intended to be a sort of Hands on Yello or even atribute to Yello. It just was there after some hours and I like it just for the pure fun of having made it.
it's about 2 megs big. Kept the quality high because of all the horn and brush samples I used. And, very important, it has nothing to do with house or whatever, which is in my oppinion the easiest way to make a catchy song that has hitparade potential when it's the kids of today between 12 and 16 who seem to decide what's good music or not.

I've been listening to Le Secret Farida again and it reminds me of an old question. What is the secret???
Does anyone know? Perhaps the language spoken by the girl in the song is Gibberish ( I suspect Yello uses gibberish in a few of their songs, take Bananas to the Beat as an example, but I'm not 100% sure about that). Anyhow, it *sounds* like Arabic, but since I don't speak it, I though I'd float it to the group.
It must be a pretty good secret because after she tells you in the song - twice - she then reminds you not to spill it with a long sensuous Shhhhhhhhh.

This one has bothered me as well. It's one of my favorite Yello songs and has been since the album came out. I love the timpani, and you can visualize the song being performed in some Cirque de Soliel type of niteclub.
I'm sure the language she's hissing in is French "un dimond tiara - shhhhh". I have looked at lyrics sites and not found anything.
I haven't studied French since high school. If anyone could translate that would be great.

When we are talking about this...in what language are the vocals on Santiago?
That's a thing I like with Dieter, that he uses so much different types of vocals, and languages. Italian, French, English, German and so on...

According to the text inside the Of Course I'm Lying 2x12" set:
" 'La Secret Farida' is part of a love poem by Om Kassoum"
(No idea who Om Kassoum is.) and:
" 'Santiago' narrates a story in the Afro-Cuban dialect"
(I assume that should be *an* Afro-Cuban dialect, but I could be wrong. I have heard parts of those vocals used in other techno tracks - I forget which ones as techno isn't terribly memorable!)

Well if you listen to the vocals on Le Secret, one thing is clear. The chanteuse has either practiced the words a lot or she is fluent in what ever language it is. I've listened carefully to the reference to a "diamond tiara" near the end, and it *could* be what she's saying, but it's pronounced with an accent, and not a french one - especially the word "diamond".
Near the beginning of the verse she seems to say "and who will enter", again with an accent. The pronunciation is a little on the oblique side, enough to make me wonder whether it's a different language which just sounds like "and whooooo will enta".
From my first point above, someone went to a lot of trouble to sound convincing in the verse, so it makes me think it is one or two languages instead of gibberish.
Anyhow, the song makes me laugh (the Shhhhh part) and I'd like to meet this woman with the sweet voice.
Ahhh to dream.

The language also appears to have some Arabic influences...
In that aspect it reminds me of Quad El Habib.

It could be a mix of different languages, since we all recognize different dialects and languages in this song.
I think she also says "La saphire" (0:58) or something like that...sounds like French, I suppose you know better than me. I also think she says "die Jahrung" (1:03) - at least it reminds me of German, but I don't think "jahrung" is a word in German (at least not mentioned in the dictionary). Perhaps other ones on this list would know this better than me.
On the One Second CD it says "Vocals on La Secret Farida by Farida"...
Would
this be Farida's secret??

There is in fact a Comic book called:
Le Secret de Farida.
-
On the question about the voice and language on Santiago:
Yello recorded their video Desire in Cuba - Havana, at the Havana club. The choregrapher at that time, or still, there is called Santiago. Chances are big it's the same dude. since One Second shows great influence from that part of the country compared to Stella. Boris got inspired, no doubt.
