It was in March 2013 that I first spoke on this show to Saša about her journey to become a much-respected pianist and music teacher. At that time she was about to leave Slovenia to join her husband in Edinburgh.

Dobrodošli v Second Hand. Danes se bomo osredotočili na svežo pesem Kimbara od Barry Can’t Swim. To je njegova prva nova pesem po njegovem hvaljenem debitantskem albumu ‘When Will We Land?’, ki je izšel oktobra 2023 pri Ninja Tune. V njegovem tipičnem slogu je »Kimbara« privlačen singel, pripravljen za klube – zagotovljena poletna himna z živahnimi hupami, nalezljivimi vokalnimi vzorci in veselo energijo. Barry Can't Swim je škotski producent elektronske glasbe in DJ iz Edinburga. Identificira se kot bolj glasbenik kot producent, pri čemer poudarja prednost ustvarjanja glasbe z uporabo instrumentov. Za svojo novo pesem Kimbara, ki sledi njegovemu zelo hvaljenemu albumu, pa je Barry Can't Swim uporabil starejšo pesem. Na “Kimbara” Barry sempla legendarno, večkrat nagrajeno kubansko izvajalko Celio Cruz in njen singel iz leta 1974 “Quimbara”. Izraz "Quimbara" sicer nima direktnega pre voda, a pomeni podobno kot "dobro se imeti" in "uživati". Celia Cruz je bila kubanska pevka in ena najbolj priljubljenih latino glasbenic 20. stoletja. Ni bila le priča evoluciji latinske glasbe v Združenih državah je bila njeno utelešenje. Pionirka crossoverjev je še naprej ustvarjala uspešnice in orala ledino kot starejša občanka. Predvsem pa je širila veselje, kamorkoli je prišla. Izdala je več kot 60 albumov in prodala več kot 10 milijonov izvodov, kar jo uvršča med najbolje prodajane izvajalce latinske glasbe. V svoji bogati karieri je sodelovala z Aretho Franklin, igrala pa je tudi ob Antoniu Banderasu.
