Nico & Kevin Ayers - Arènes d'Arles, Arles, France, August 6, 1975

We mentioned that forthcoming Can live release a couple weeks back — and we noted that the lineup for that 1975 night in Arles also featured everyone's favorite former Velvet Underground chanteuse Nico! Is there a tape of Nico's set? Oh yeah, there is. And it even features a special guest appearance from her old ACNE pal Kevin Ayers.

Like so many others before him, Ayers had been bewitched by Nico, writing his classic tune "Decadence" in her honor a few years before. "A very inspirational lady whose aura I absorbed slightly," he said. And their auras sound nice together, with Kevin adding a little lightness to Nico's otherwise doomy solo harmonium situations — especially when their childlike duet on Kev's "Falling In Love Again" rolls around. The crowd is a little rowdy for this kind of music, but Nico still casts a spell; it must've been haunting to experience in a crumbling Roman ruin.

And hey! There was a third act on the bill ... As Ra Temple! Now that's what I call a Hot August Night. You can also listen to some of their set, which might be interrupted by ... a woman in the audience giving birth? What a way to enter this world. Félicitations!

Effigy Vessel from Oaxaca, Mexico dated between 200 - 600 CE on display National Archaeological Museum in Madrid, Spain

This vessel is is thought to depict a warrior ruler of the Zapotec people. She wears a elaborate attire with an ornate helmet adorned with the head of jaguar. This animal is often associated with warriors and warfare in Mexican history as well as the right to rule. While female rulers were not common there are accounts prior to colonisation as well as Spanish records of women being granted rights to ancestral lands.
