Laïka Fatien es una magnífica cantante de jazz, con tres discos en el mercado. Nacida en París, cono ascendentes hispamomarroquíes y de Costa de Marfil, en su primer disco rindió homenaje a una de las grandes damas del jazz de todos los tiempos, quizá la referencia más importante junto a Billie Holiday para las jóvenes generaciones. Lo hizo con un tema de la gran cantante, titulado "Throw it away", una de sus canciones más recordadas, un himno a descubrie en la vida lo que importa y lo que puede ser abandonado.
El disco en el que Lika cantó este tema es el titulado "Look At Me Now!" (2006). Aquí la podemos escuchar en directo, en España, interpretando el tema como homenaje a Abbey, que en esos momentos se encontraba ingresada próxima a su fallecimiento.
Throw it away (Abbey Lincoln)
I think about the life I live
A figure made of clay
And think about the things I lost
The things I gave away
And when I'm in a certain mood
I search the house and look
One night I found these magic words
In a magic book
Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
There's a hand to rock the cradle
And a hand to help us stand
With a gentle kind of motion
As it moves across the land
And the hand's unclenched and open
Gifts of life and love it brings
So keep your hand wide open
If you're needing anything
Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
You can never ever lose a thing
If it belongs to you
You can never ever lose a thing
If it belongs to you
You can never ever lose a thing
If it belongs to you
