several live concerts. Some of them have taken place at the cathedrals of Winchester and
Chichester. His albums Tapestries (in a collaboration with his son Adam)

a tragedy was the plane accident he had as he was landing in Londonderry, Northern
Ireland.

N'Dour, from Senegal, and Papa Wemba, from Zaire. Amongst the

COLLABORATION BETWEEN CHIEFTAINS AND CARLOS NUŅEZ. The bridge joining the Celtic music
done in Ireland and the also Celtic music done in Galicia (Northern Spain) is becoming
increasingly obvious. The collaboration between the well-known band Chieftains
and pipebag player Carlos Nuņez has resulted in a joint tour of both, in
which Nuņez has come to be described as a virtual member of the band,
and also the album Santiago, whose title comes from this charismatic Galician
city, has likewise been released.
Germany, November 1. A NEW
ALBUM BY KRAFTWERK? Since Karl Bartos and Wolfgang Flur
have left Kraftwerk, this band, now reduced to the original duo Ralf
Hutter & Florian Schneider, has abandoned public activity even more that it
used to. There are persistent rumours that a new album by Kraftwerk is
soon to be released, yet, since in other occasions this kind of hearsay has ended up as
ungrounded, no one should believe in the truthfulness of this new rumour.
Austria, November 1.
LAST CONCERTS OF THE CYCLE WIEN MODERN '96.
USA, November 1. POSSIBLE NEW
ALBUM BY YANNI IN THE EARLY 1997. As it appears, a new work by Yanni will
be published by early 1997, although as these lines are being written there are no
definite dates to be trusted yet. After the release of the album, hopefully the artist
will engage on a new concert tour. Also there are reports on the preparation of a music
video, based on two of his concerts (at the London Royal Albert Hall). Nowadays, Yanni
lives and works in Los Angeles as well as in Seattle.
