"Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” by Nina Simone Follow Nina Simone everywhere: https://linktr.ee/ninasimone Find this track on the album “Broadway-Blues-Ballads”: https://NinaSimone.lnk.to/DLMBMonYT Shop Nina’s music and merch: https://NinaSimone.lnk.to/ShopNina This stunning new video for Nina Simone’s iconic track “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” blends the artistry of hand-drawn animation with the expressive energy of contemporary dance, creating a unique and moving visual experience. Through the animated interpretation of choreographed dance, the song gains a new dimension, visually amplifying the timelessness of Simone’s honest and poignant message. This breathtaking piece is cross-medium collaboration between animation director Nevil Bernard and contemporary dancer and choreographer Fukiko Takase. Starting the process from Takase’s filmed solo dance performance of the song , the choreography has been fully interpreted through the use of expressive animated drawings, capturing its essence in a rhythmic and free-form style. The identity-searching protagonist’s silhouette is purposely ambiguous and anonymous to highlight the universality of the feelings manifested through Simone’s struggles and unique performance. Throughout the dance, the protagonist plays with, fights against and ultimately embraces these conflicting emotions. VIDEO CREDITS Direction and Animation: Nevil Bernard Production Company: echo.

#ninasimone #antibes Recording session: Live in Antibes, 1965 The International Jazz Festival in Antibes Juan-les-Pins (France) is the oldest running jazz festival in Europe. The first "Jazz à Juan", created to pay tribute to the famous adopted Antibian, Sidney Bechet, was held in 1960. From the 1920's Antibes Juan-les-Pins was the anchor point in Europe for the new generation of citizens from free America and the meeting place for intellectuals and modernists, following the example of Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway etc. With them came jazz and a new style of living. From then on, the "joie de vivre" city, so precious to Picasso, also became the adopted homeland of Sidney Bechet, as a tribute to which he wrote the jazz piece "In the streets of Antibes". The sixth Antibes Juan-les-Pins Jazz Festival took place from July 24 to July 29. Nina had the closing spot on the first two days.
