Papa Yabo - The Camel Race
A song that's (very) loosely based on the camel race that used to be an annual event in the Dutch town of Eindhoven. It's a bit of a surreal story.
I had some assistance with backing vocals from singer/song writer and vocal coach Lisa Nobel.

Papa Yabo - Between The Crash And The Debris
This song started life as a simple mandolin riff. The lyrics, which I wrote some time ago, are kind of poetic, I think. Personally, I think this song deserves more than the handful of views I normally get. π

Papa Yabo - Elegy
This is a little song in honour and loving memory of my internet friend Nicky. In the words of my favourite author, Sir Terry Pratchett: GNU, Nicky.

Ik denk dat de term "terrorisme" gereserveerd is voor zulke daden als die een politieke achtergrond hebben. Iemand die zoiets doet omdat hij in een psychotische fase "stemmen" gehoord heeft die hem opdroegen dat te doen, om maar iets te noemen, is geen "terrorist".

Papa Yabo - Change In The Ocean
Not your traditional 12-bar chord progression, but based on an old blues song nonetheless. The outro guitar solo was played on an Eastwood baritone guitar (named βClintβ for obvious reasons) tuned down to A and uses the dominant Phrygian scale.

Het is nauwelijks voorstelbaar, maar deze trien is mogelijk nog dommer dan Trump. Dat zo'n stuk onbenul het tot minister kan schoppen, is geen compliment voor ons land.

What this is, is a guy who thinks he's some kind of Tony Stark, whereas in reality he's a sad excsue for a Bond villain - and a terribly stupid and incompetent one at that.

Actually witches usually weren't burned. Burning was the go-to punishment for "heresy".
And although it was usually women who were convicted of witchcraft, it wasn't exclusively women. There were actually regions in Europe where more men than women were the victims.
