Another award winner, this time it is singer Hindi Zahra who won the award for the Best World Music album at the Victoires de la Musique music awards in France.
The video is a performance of her single Beautiful Tango (Blue Note/EMI) from her 2010 album Handmade, during the ceremony on March 1, which was shown on France 2.
The album won the Prix Constantin for best album in November 2010, the prize that is roughly the French equivalent of the UK's Mercury Music prize.
It also got a recommendation from The Wire magazine, certainly my favourite music magazine in the UK, who described her as a worthy successor to Billie Holiday. No arguments from me.
It's certainly a hugely attractive sound, jazzy and soulful and with an edge that lifts it beyond just easy listening.
