Video hit Jeanette

Jeanette - Soy Rebelde


"Soy Rebelde" (English: "I am a Rebel"), also known as "Yo Soy Rebelde", is a Spanish pop ballad written by Manuel Alejandro and Ana Magdalena.It was released by singer Jeanette in 1971, and was her debut solo single.
It has been re-recorded by Jeanette in English, French, and Japanese, and has inspired cover versions in diverse genres from flamenco to punk rock and rap.
In 1970, following the dissolution of her former band Pic-Nic, Jeanette signed with the Hispavox label and moved to Barcelona. Songwriter Manuel Alejandro wrote the song for a Mexican singer, Sola, but offered it to Jeanette, who is half Spanish.
Jeanette originally did not like the song; In an interview posted in Cha Cha Charming magazine, Jeanette said, "My style of music was folk music...but Hispavox wanted me to sing this romantic music that I could not relate to." They recorded the song that summer.
The song begins with a combination of piano and violin.
The lyrics describe a solitary person, relating a life marked by pain, and focusing on a search for happiness, friendship and love.
Jeanette's voice was an angelic whisper; Alejandro remarked it was "the tiniest voice I have ever heard", and that it would have been just another Mexican song if she did not sing it.
Accompanying the song is an orchestra led by Waldo de los Rios.
The song was produced by Rafael Trabucchelli.
The lyrics:
Yo soy rebelde porque el mundo me ha hecho asi
Porque nadie me ha tratado con amor
Porque nadie me ha querido nunca oir
Yo soy rebelde porque siempre sin razn
Me negaron todo aquello que pedi
Y me dieron solamente incomprensin
Y quisiera ser como el nio aquel
Como el hombre aquel que es feliz
Y quisiera dar lo que hay en mi
Todo a cambio de una amistad
Y soar y vivir
Y olvidar el rencor
Y cantar y reir
Y sentir slo amor
Yo soy rebelde porque el mundo me ha hecho asi
Porque nadie me ha tratado con amor
Porque nadie me ha querido nunca oir
Y quisiera ser como el nio aquel
Como el hombre aquel que es feliz
Y quisiera dar lo que hay en mi
Todo a cambio de una amistad
Y soar y vivir
Y olvidar el rencor
Y cantar y reir
Y sentir slo amor
Lalalalalala...
Lalalalalala...

Lalalalalala...

Video hit Pet Shop Boys

Pet Shop Boys - Rent (1987)

The lyrics are commonly thought to deal with a financially one-sided relationship, i.e. that of a kept man, the title implying more specifically the lot of a rent boy.
Neil Tennant, however, stated in the Actually: Further Listening liner notes: "I've always imagined it's about a kept woman, and I always imagined it set in America. I vaguely thought of one of the Kennedys, for some reason, and imagined that this politician keeps this woman in a smart flat in Manhattan, and he's still got this family, and the two of them have some [sort] of relationship and they do love each other but it's all kind of secret..."
It peaked at number 8 in the British charts. Producer Stephen Hague remixed the song for single release.
The video for the song was directed by Derek Jarman. It features two intercut storylines. One, filmed in black and white, shows Chris Lowe arriving at King's Cross station by train and walking past various low-life characters. The other, filmed in colour, features Margi Clarke as the partner of a wealthy man (played by Alexander Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath), who is hosting a dinner party. The lyrics are sung by Tennant, who plays her chauffeur. The woman becomes annoyed when the man pays her no attention. She then gets Tennant to drive her to King's Cross. There, she meets Chris Lowe on the platform and they embrace.
Cover versions
Serbian punk rock band KBO! recorded a version on their 2001 cover album (Ne) Menjajte Stanicu (Do Not) Change the Station).
In 2007, Thirteen Senses covered the song to be placed on preloaded iPod Nano. These were then given away as prizes at their May 2007 tour of the UK.
"Rent" has been performed live by Neil Tennant with Suede and has also been covered by Carter USM and Liza Minnelli on her 1989 album Results.
In 2002, the German ska-band Frau Doktor covered "Rent". It was released on their album Penner Superdisco. 
UK electro pop singer/songwriter Alexander Price recorded a cover version of Rent which was released as a digital download in September 2010.
British indie rock band Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine released a cover of Rent as a b-side on their single "Rubbish" in 1990.
Field Music recorded a cover of this, along with "Heart" for their 2012 Record Store Day release, actually, nearly.
The lyrics:
You dress me up, I'm your puppet
You buy me things, I love it
You bring me food, I need it
You give me love, I feed it

And look at the two of us in sympathy
With everything we see
I never want anything, it's easy
You buy whatever I need

But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent

You phone me in the evening on hearsay
And bought me caviar
You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
To tell me who you are

We never-ever argue, we never calculate
The currency we've spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent

I'm your puppet
I love it

And look at the two of us in sympathy
And sometimes ecstasy
Words mean so little, and money less
When you're lying next to me

But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) Ooh, I love you, you pay my rent

Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent

Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent (It's easy, it's so easy)
(Ooooh) You pay my rent (It's easy, it's so easy)
(Ooooh) You pay my rent (It's easy, it's so easy)
(Ooooh) I love you (It's easy, it's so easy)
(It's easy, it's so easy)
(It's easy, it's so easy)
(It's easy, it's so easy)
(It's easy, it's so easy)
(It's easy, it's so easy)
(It's easy, it's so easy)

Ioan Gyuri Pascu - El Tango

Ioan Gyuri Pascu - El Tango 


Written and Performed by Ioan Gyuri Pascu. 
Starring Lucile Julaud, Catinca Mandita, Cosmin Stamatoiu & Cristian Dumitru from Tango Tangent (www.milonga.ro)
Violin: Cristi Horia
Video: DianaDi 
Album: Electromagnetic Love – 2013 

The lyrics:
I) It is more than a dance, it is a scent,
Of pure joy and pure pain
almost reckless insanity
That troubles the heart.
So deeply unknown, yet, everybody knows it,
It shows us that life’s love.

R: Tango, what a scent!
Felt in everything one loves.
hummed, danced, tasted,
Wept, and laughed by every soul.
Tango, what a scent!
Felt in everything one loves.
In the air you breathe,
In the burning lips
You’d never stop kissing.

They say tango is the mirror-dance
When you gaze at your dance partner
You see nothing but yourself.
They say tango is the dance of love
‘Cause when you tango
Two, one, none - is the same.

A naked word by the sea-shore,
Forgetting shame while learning love
No talk.An innocent glance instead
Is all you need to enjoy.
Everything lives in the tango
Like water lives in flowers,
And shows us that life’s love.

Darul de 8 martie pentru cititoarele blogului


Johnny Cash - Hurt 

 

A wonderful performance of Johnny Cash, maybe the last before he died in 2003.
The video for the song is generally recognized as "his epitaph".
The lyrics:
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liars chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus]

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I will keep myself
I would find a way

He got me feeling so fine
He taught the sun how to shine
He turns my water to wine
He do it every time
Ain't nothing better than that
I let him play with my cat
Got nothing on but his hat
Ain't nothing wrong with that

All that I want him to know
That I want him to know
Is that I love him so
He's better than I ever had
More than I can stand

I found me a better man, better man
Who loves better than, better than
Better than you ever can
Don't want no animal
Acting so out of control
I found me a better man
He grease my pan
Better than you can

He's no complicated man
He's happy holding my hand
He likes to swim in my tub
I like his rub'a'dub
He's never stolen my car
Or tried to pawn my guitar
He doesn't flirt with my friends
My money he don't spend

All that I want him to know
That I want him to know
Is that I love him so
He's better than I ever had
More than I can stand

I found me a better man, better man
Who loves better than, better than
Better than you ever can
Don't want no animal
Acting so out of control
I found me a better man
He grease my pan
Better than you can

Love and happiness I have received
Love has surely been so good to me
I finally found myself a piece of sky

I found me a better man, better man
Who loves better than, better than
Better than you ever can

I found me a better man, better man
Who loves better than, better than
Better than you ever can
Don't want no animal
Acting so out of control
I found me a better man

I found me a better man
Who loves better than
Better than you ever can
He grease my pan
Better than you can

Video hit Yasmin Levy

Yasmin Levy - Una Noche Mas 

 

In deschiderea unuia dintre concertele sale, Yasmin Levi explica publicului: "vin din Israel pentru a canta muzica Sephardy – cea a evreilor care locuiau in Spania inainte de anul 1492, anul in care au fost obligati sa paraseasca teritoriul iberic'.
Textul acestor cantece este in ladino – spaniola veche vorbita acum mai bine de cinci veacuri in care apar insa si influente din alte limbi.
In ultima perioada mai ales, ea adopta o maniera vocala aparte in reliefarea unor piese din traditia ladino (pastrata – se pare – astazi de circa 200 000 de vorbitori de pe intreg globul). 
Preluand nu numai talentul muzical din familie ci si acumularile cercetarilor intreprinse de tatal sau in acest domeniu timp de decenii, beneficiind de "scoala' interpretarii vocale (caci ambii parinti au fost si cantareti), Yasmin Levy nu cauta acum atat autenticitatea pieselor tipice pentru cultura ladino (caci in mod traditional au o maniera de cant destul de particulara, cu un anume vibrato, cu o ornamentatie bogata) ci a "imprumutat' elemente caracteristice pentru stilul muzical Flamenco, preluand accentele sale temperamentale, uneori chiar si energia sa ritmica.
Varietatea imaginilor expresive ilustrate de muzica interpretata de Yasmin Levy atesta si influentele diferitelor genuri actuale sau zone culturale spre care artista si-a indreptat atentia, in dorinta evidenta de a aduce in prim plan mesajul sau de promovare a acestui univers ladino. (De exemplu, in mai 2011 s-a aflat pe scena salii Olympia din Paris, alaturi de Enrico Macias, oferind – in duet – muzica ladino!).
Cantareata si compozitoare, YASMIN LEVY, s-a format intr-o familie de cercetatori ai istoriei culturii ladino (muzica iudeo-spaniola).
Contributia sa originala se concretizeaza prin introducerea elementelor de flamenco, ori de provenienta persana, araba, greaca, slava, franceza in structurile clasice ale genului. 
A debutat discografic in 2000, obtinand de la inceput recunoasteri in show-bizz. A fost promovata si de fundatia Anna Lindh pentru realizarile in maniera crossing, pe care artista o considera o "reconciliere muzicala a istoriei'.

Yasmin Levy (born on December 23, 1975 in Jerusalem) is an Israeli singer-songwriter of Judeo-Spanish music.
Levy is of Sephardic descent from the city of Izmir, Turkey.
Her late father, Yitzhak (Isaac) Levy (1919–1977), was a composer and hazzan (cantor), as well as a pioneer researcher into the long and rich history of the Ladino music and culture of Spanish Jewry and its diaspora, being the editor of the Ladino language magazine Aki Yerushalayim.
With her distinctive and emotive style, Levy has brought a new interpretation to the medieval Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) song by incorporating more "modern" sounds of Andalusian flamenco and Persian, as well as combining instruments like the darbuka, oud, violin, cello, and piano.
Her debut album was Romance & Yasmin in 2000, which earned her a nomination as "Best Newcomer" for the fRoots / BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards 2005, followed in 2005 with her second album La Juderia (Spanish: The Jewish Quarter). In 2006, she was nominated again, then in the category "Culture Crossing".
On her second album, La Judería, she also covered the popular songs "Gracias a la Vida" by Violeta Parra and "Nací en Alamó" from the film Vengo, directed by Tony Gatlif, which in its original version won the 2001 César Award for Best Music Written for a Film (itself being a cover of "The Song of the Gypsies" (Greek: "Το Τραγούδι των Γύφτων"), written by Greek songwriter Dionysis Tsaknis in 1990).
Levy's work earned her the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation Award for promoting cross-cultural dialogue between musicians from three cultures. In her own words: “I am proud to combine the two cultures of Ladino and flamenco, while mixing in Middle Eastern influences. I am embarking on a 500 years old musical journey, taking Ladino to Andalusia and mixing it with flamenco, the style that still bears the musical memories of the old Moorish and Jewish-Spanish world with the sound of the Arab world. In a way it is a ‘musical reconciliation’ of history”.
Levy is a goodwill ambassador for the charity Children of Peace.

The lyrics:
Recuerdo tu imagen alejándose
La tierra se hundía bajo mis pies
Fui cayéndome al vacío
Sin poderme agarrar a la vida

¿Cómo pude imaginarme
Que tenía algo que darte?
Y yo en mi madurez y tú
En tu plena juventud
Los años no perdonan

Sólo te ruego que me des
Una noche de amor
Sólo pido una noche más
Que me vuelvas a engañar

Te maldigo para que no puedas llorar
Que tu corazón se vuelva una piedra
Que tu alma pierda su alegría
A la vez que mi cuerpo envejece

Sólo te ruego que me des
Una noche de amor
Sólo pido una noche más
Que me vuelvas a engañar

Video hit T'pau

T'pau - China in your hand

"China in Your Hand" is a song by British band T'Pau, released from their album Bridge of Spies.
A re-recorded version was released as a single in October 1987, spending five weeks at number 1 in the UK and is arguably the song for which the group is best known in their native Britain, though their debut single "Heart and Soul" was a much bigger hit in the United States.
"China in Your Hand" was the 600th song to top the UK charts, and kept George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set on You" from hitting the top spot.
The song's lyrics refer to the novel Frankenstein and its author Mary Shelley. This is more readily heard on the longer album version of the song, as the re-recorded single edit omits most of the more obvious references to the book.
The song's title was more unclear however and when quizzed, co-writer Ron Rogers was unsure of to what it referred.
Lyric writer Carol Decker explained that it is the effect that if you hold a china cup to a light, you can see your hand through it – therefore 'china in your hand' means something that is transparent.
In a segment on the BBC1's The One Show on 6 March 2014, Carol Decker explained that she had been holding a china tea cup belonging to Ronnie Roger's mother in her hand while washing up and had felt a lump in the bottom. She held the cup to the light and saw an image of a young woman in the base of the cup. Decker had the cup with her and showed the viewers the image. Sadly Ronnie's mother died of breast cancer just before T'Pau achieved major chart success.
The song is in the key of B-Flat major on the original album version but the radio edit version is slightly sped up to reduce its length resulting in the tuning being mid-way between B-Flat and B Major.
In 2011, contestant Amelia Lily performed the song on series 8 of UK's The X Factor. Judge Gary Barlow said it was "nice to hear the song being sung in tune for once", in mockery of Decker, who reacted to the comment via Twitter.
British EDM artist Jimmy Rotten used a sample of the song's intro in his track "Join Hands".
The lyrics:
It was a theme she had
On a scheme he had
Told in a foreign land
To take life on earth
To the second birth
And the man was in command
It was a flight on the wings
Of a young girl's dreams
That flew too far away
And we could make the monster live again

Oh hands move and heart beat on
Now life will return in this electric storm
A prophecy for a fantasy
The curse of a vivid mind

Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself
China in your hand

Come from greed
Never born of the seed
Took a life from a barren hand
Oh eyes wide
Like a child in the form of man
A story told
A mind of his own
An omen for our time

Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself
China in your hand
Oh your hand
Your dreams are china in your hand, wooah
Here in your hand
China in your hand, woh oh oh woh oh oh woh oh
Here in your hand

Woh! You take a flight on the wings of fantasy
Then you push too far
And make your dreams reality
Yeah! For the china in your hand
But you shouldn't push too hard

You take a flight on the wings of fantasy
Then you push too hard
You make those dreams reality
Yeah! China in your hands

But they're only dreams

Video hit Cali

Cali - C'est quand le bonheur (live)

CALI, de son vrai nom Bruno Caliciuri, né le 28 juin 1968 à Perpignan, en France, est un auteur-compositeur-interprète français.
À mi-chemin entre chanson française et rock, il revendique une position d’artiste concerné par les problèmes de la société et du monde, et n’hésite pas à s’engager publiquement.
Biographie
Les racines
Le grand-père de Cali, Giuseppe Caliciuri, était un Italien enrôlé dans les Brigades internationales pour combattre Franco. Il rencontra alors une infirmière catalane, Maria Pilar, qui devint son épouse.
Leur fils Vincent, le père de Cali, vint au monde à Barcelone.
La famille se réfugia en France après la défaite des Républicains où elle fut enfermée dans les camps destinés aux exilés espagnols.
Son grand-père maternel originaire de Vernet-les-Bains, Henri Fruitet, maçon, boxeur, communiste et Catalan, épousa une Italienne, Stella Genovese, issue d‘une famille de mélomanes.
Cali est père de trois enfants.
La jeunesse
Bruno Caliciuri naquit à Perpignan le 28 juin 19681. Ses parents s’installèrent à Vernet-les-Bains, et sa mère mourut sept ans plus tard.
Sa première grande passion fut le rugby à XV4 qu'il pratiquait dans son club de Vernet-les-Bains avant de lui préférer la politique : Cali fut deux fois candidat aux élections dans son village4, sans succès.
Troisième passion: le rock. Cali cite U2 (il rencontre brièvement Bono à Toulouse en 1984 à la sortie d‘un concert,), les Simple Minds, Clash dans ses références.
Il tutoie également la musique metal et cite volontiers en interview en 2001: Slayer, Pantera et Morbid Angel, qui lui permettent d'évacuer sa rage.
Il dira cependant: «Quand j’ai écouté pour la première fois The Pan Within sur l’album This Is The Sea (des Waterboys), j’ai tout de suite su que c’était celle que j’amènerais sur une île déserte ».
Bruno Caliciuri créa son premier groupe Pénétration Anale au lycée.
Les textes pour le moins provocants vaudront à son chanteur quelques démêlés avec l’administration de l’établissement puisqu'il en est exclu.
Ses premiers séjours en Angleterre et en Irlande furent dus à des rencontres amoureuses. Cali en profita pour partir sur les traces de ses idoles, les Waterboys et U2.
Les débuts
Cali entame sa véritable carrière de musicien, en tant que guitariste et chanteur, avec Lithium, un groupe de reprises animant les fêtes de villages des Pyrénées-Orientales. Il poursuit avec le groupe Indy qui sortira l'album Tu es si belle qu'il se met à pleuvoir en 19958.
Enfin, il forme le groupe Tom Scarlett, actif de 1997 à 2001 et qui sortira un album éponyme en 1998. Cali y est alors le chanteur principal et guitariste.
Peu après la société de production de spectacles Astérios, qui recrute Cali dés 2002, La maison de disques Labels/EMI constate le phénomène lors des francofolies fin 2002 et signe l'artiste.
L'amour parfait voit le jour sous la houlette du producteur américain Daniel Presley (Breeders, Faith No More, Luke, Dionysos…).
Le disque sort le 19 août 20031 et contient plusieurs titres qui deviendront des tubes: C’est quand le bonheur ?, Pensons à l’avenir et Elle m’a dit.
L'amour parfait devient pour beaucoup le manifeste d’une génération amoureusement désabusée. Hugo Baretge (guitare), Patrick Félicès (basse), Benjamin Vairon (batterie), Aude Massat (Alto) et Julien Lebart (piano) forment son groupe de musiciens.
Cali obtient avec L'amour parfait, une nomination aux Victoires de la musique 2004 dans la catégorie « artiste révélation de l'année », le prix Vincent Scotto de la SACEM pour C'est quand le bonheur ? et le Prix Constantin le 9 novembre 2004.
Cali entreprend une tournée où il alterne les petites scènes avec des sets plus importants comme le Printemps de Bourges, où il côtoie Sanseverino, Bashung et Bénabar.
Le DVD Plein de vie capte l’une de ces prestations au Bataclan au cours duquel Miossec vient le rejoindre pour un duo.
La confirmation
En octobre 2005, Menteur (initialement intitulé L’amour Terroriste succède à L'amour parfait. Enregistré en Irlande, toujours avec Daniel Presley, Cali associe à son groupe Damien Lefèvre (bassiste de Luke), Matthieu Chédid, Daniel Darc et Steve Wickham, le violoniste hors-pair des Waterboys qui joue sur Sunday Bloody Sunday de U2.
La chanson Le vrai père est écrite pour les parents séparés (pères mais aussi mères) qui luttent pour avoir la possibilité de voir et de s’occuper de leur enfant au même titre que leur ex-conjoint.
La tournée démarre à Reims en novembre 2005, s’arrête pour trois soirs à l’Olympia (second concert où l’artiste se blesse au genou,[réf. nécessaire] ce qui ne l’empêchera pas d’assurer le troisième sans changement notable), et se terminera à la Fête de l’Humanité en septembre 2006 après un tour de France des salles et Festivals.
Le 2 octobre 2006, sort Le Bordel magnifique, un live enregistré à Lille, mais Cali est déjà reparti sur les routes pour une tournée acoustique, Dans l’intimité, entouré de Julien aux claviers, Blaise et Nicolas aux cuivres. Chaque soir, à Paris, un ou plusieurs invités de marque le rejoignent (Michel Delpech, Bernard Lavilliers, Christophe Mali, Vincent Delerm, Raphael et Steve Wickham, par exemple). En parallèle, Cali réalise un DVD qui ne serait pas une simple collection de chansons mais un vrai film, La vie ne suffit pas, réalisé par Gaëtan Chataigner. Ce DVD prétend s’inspirer du surréalisme et contient Pablito, chanson inédite à ce jour sur le plan discographique.
La consécration
Au printemps 2007, l'élection présidentielle fait l'actualité. L’artiste soutient Ségolène Royal, et participe (avec Bénabar, Yannick Noah, Saez et Renaud au meeting du stade Charléty. La victoire de Nicolas Sarkozy lui donne matière à une chanson, Résistance, qui elle-même amènera un nouvel album, plus politique.
Cali se met au travail, et L'espoir va naître sous la houlette de Scott Colburn (producteur d’Arcade Fire et de Mathias Malzieu).
Ce disque, enregistré « à la maison », près de Perpignan, va alimenter la critique. Trop engagé pour certains, trop éloigné de ses opus précédents pour d’autres, l’album présente des chansons en prise directe avec l’actualité (Mille cœurs debout, L’espoir, Giuseppe et Maria).
Quant à la musique, elle se veut plus rock avec des réminiscences assumées : Arcade Fire (1000 Cœurs Debout), Pogues (Résistance), Street Music (Je Ne te Reconnais plus, en duo avec Olivia Ruiz), Waterboys (Pas la Guerre et List of Lies)[réf. nécessaire] . Mike Scott, le leader du groupe Ecossais, est présent sur L'espoir, tant par le chant que par la composition. Cali avait rejoint les Waterboys en mai 2006 à Bruxelles; Mike et Steve le feront, à leur tour, au Zénith, en avril 2008 pour Fisherman Blues. Le succès est une fois de plus au rendez-vous.
Un DVD 1000 cœurs debout et un nouvel album live sont issus de cette tournée.
En mars 2009, le chanteur catalan s'explique longuement sur ses divers engagements dans un livre d'entretiens, Rage ! avec Didier Varrod, spécialiste de la chanson française.
À l’automne 2009, Cali rejoint The Hyènes, le groupe de Denis Barthe et Jean-Paul Roy, (respectivement batteur et bassiste de Noir Désir). Il reprennent des titres de Motörhead, AC/DC, Iggy and the Stooges et des chansons de Cali.
Une fois rentré à Perpignan, Cali se remet au travail et écrit de nouvelles chansons. L’album La vie est une truite arc-en-ciel qui nage dans mon cœur sort le 15 novembre 20101. Il est coproduit par Geoffrey Burton (ex-guitariste d’Arno et d'Alain Bashung).
Jugé plus rock et moins politique, l'album comporte les titres Je sais ta vie avec les chœurs du groupe belge Hong Kong Dong, Je n'attends que la revanche, Mille ans d'ennuis, Cantona.
Neuf chansons le complètent dans l'édition collector dite Généreuse sous le titre Vous savez que je vous aime.
La tournée 2011 de Cali a commencé en mars et s'est déroulée tout au long de l'année.
Son nouvel album, Vernet-les-bains, est sorti le 26 novembre 2012.
Le 24 janvier 2013, il est fait citoyen d'honneur de sa ville d'origine, Vernet-les-Bains.
À l'automne 2014, il est l'un des quatre experts musicaux de la première saison de la version française du télé-crochet Rising Star.

Engagements
Associatif
Il participe à la création de l'association « L'amour parfait » en 2004, qui est destinée à la collecte de fonds destinés à être redistribués à diverses associations locales ou nationales, et notamment à l'association «Les Papas = Les Mamans» venant en aide aux parents séparés (pères et mères) et coupés de leurs enfants.
En 2006, il est solidaire, avec Gérard Reverend, de la création de ladite association Les Papas = Les Mamans, organisme destiné à rapprocher les familles désunies, et aussi permettre aux pères (ou aux mères) d'obtenir plus de droits sur leurs enfants après un divorce.
Le 10 mars 2008, il accompagne cette association au ministère de la Justice, pour évoquer « les exclusions parentales lors des divorces et séparations ».
Depuis des années, Cali s'investit régulièrement dans maintes causes caritatives (tournée les Aventuriers d'un Autre Monde avec Bashung, Richard Kolinka, Raphaël, Jean-Louis Aubert et Daniel Darc, concerts caritatifs divers avec The Hyènes) mais il le fait le plus souvent de façon très discrète et sans communication... Cali effectue chaque année, en moyenne, 10 ou 20 concerts ou participations en soutien à des causes.
À compter de 2009, Cali est parrain de la Fondation Abbé-Pierre en faveur des mal logés, aux côtés de ses amis les frères Éric et Joël Cantona, etc. Ils organisent ensemble chaque année le « rock'n'beach soccer » dont les bénéfices sont totalement reversés à la fondation, ainsi que diverses manifestations ponctuelles (concert pour Emmaüs au Zénith de paris avec Olivia Ruiz, nuit des sans logis à Bastille fin 2009 avec Tcheky Karyo, Benabar, Olivier Daguerre, etc.).
Il participe également aux manifestations en faveur de la fondation de Yannick Noah, Les Enfants de la Terre, ainsi qu'à diverses actions au profit de nombreuses associations locales perpignanaises Mucovie 66 (association de lutte contre la mucoviscidose), Adapei (Association départementale de parents et amis de personnes handicapées mentales).
En 2006, sort On Aime, On Aide, dans le cadre de l'action entreprise par la Fnac au profit de la lutte contre l'illettrisme. Ce maxi contient trois titres, une reprise de Guy Béart, L'eau vive, et deux chansons enregistrées pour l'occasion, Douce Vie et Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas mon amour ?

Prix Vincent Scotto 2004 : C'est quand le bonheur ?
Prix Constantin 2004 : L'amour parfait
Paroles:
Je suis pendu à vos lèvres
Espérant le mot, espérant le "oui" qui sauverait ma vie
Je suis pendu au téléphone mais qu'y a-t-il de plus moche ?
Au téléphone, aphone qui sonne et personne qui ne décroche
Je suis pendu à votre cou, dans le plus beau de mes rêves
Mais je ne me réveille jamais près de vous
Et j'en crève
Je suis pendu sous vos fenêtres au pied de l'arbre peut-être demain
La petite fleur qui va naître
Vous racontera mon chagrin

C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?

Je suis pendu à cet espoir que vous m'avez soldé
Je suis presque sur l'autre soir c'est moi que vous avez regardé
Je suis pendu par les pieds, tout rouge et le souffle coupé
A chaque fois que le hasard me dépose devant votre nez
Je suis pendu à la cravate dans mon costume crog macabé
Il parait que vous faiblissez devant les hommes bien habillés
Je suis tendu c'est aujourd'hui que je viens vous offrir ma vie
Peut-être oserais-je parler à quelqu'un d'autre qu'à mes pieds

C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?

Et puis ce goût amer est venu tapissé ma bouche
Je viens de conquérir son coeur, mais c'est louche
Car qui ne peut ses vieux amours, c'est quand parle l'amour
Aussitôt qu'on le gagne, décidément c'est pas facile tous les jours

C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?
C'est quand le bonheur ?

C'est quand le bonheur ?
