Kudsi Erguner Sufi Jazz Project-Ottomania.

This is a new one to me - nice.

Toumani Diabate's Symmetric Orchestra-Boulevard de l'Independance.

I've had an afternoon of Toumani Diabate and Ali Farka Toure.

Boring b@gger that I am I just never tire of these guys

Chiri - The Return of Spring

 

Birds - Hossein Alizadeh

Simon Barker - Descalzo

 

 

Drums and Shakuhachi. I am very impressed with this guys work. Same drummer as above, Chiri. Also this:

 

Daorum

 

 

Since stumbling upon this the other day, I simply cannot stop listening to it. Traditional Korean p'ansori singing with drums, piano, trumpet and ambient electric guitar drone. Incredible music, that leaves me stunned with its power. I urge anyone with adventurous taste to check this out. I'm gonna listen one more time before bed

Really interesting music, Rehab. Haven't explored bandcamp before, but certainly will in future - there seems to be lots of stuff worth following up on.

This guy is very good

Maloko - Soul On Fire (1988//iTunes)

This was a bonus download with last year's Rough Guide to African Disco. Soul covers (Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Ben E. King, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Sam & Dave) done in soukous style, so Congolese with a bit of rhumba.

Good morning all

Bombay Dub Orchestra - 3 Cities - 2008 - CD

East meets west in a tasty masala of traditional instruments, modern classical and electronica.   

Just got this cd - Endless Visions by Djivan Gasparyan & Hossein Alizâdeh

Its a mixture of improvisations on traditional Armenian and Persian songs and poetry.

The main instruments are the Armenian duduk (wooden flute) and shurangiz (iranian six-string lute).

It's some of the most haunting and achingly beautiful music I have heard

Listening to this for the first time just on Spotify. Exquisite. Thanks for the tip on this one.

Roberto Fonseca-Akokan.

Got tix to see Dele Sosimo Afrobeat Orchestra at Jazzcafe, London, on Thursday night. Dele played keys with Fela and then was musical director with Femi Kuti. Now doing his own thing. Can't ever get enough Afrobeat.

Love this stuff Davo. Simon's solo album is amazing too. An incredible musician.

Went to a very wet and wild Notting Hill Carnival yesterday. Wasn't mentally prepared like one should be. Crazy vibe. Nobody listens to reggae or dub any more. Sound systems pumping out high tempo soca and dancehall. Much twerking going on. I was hoping for a rock steady groove. Wore me out way too quick. Plus a few cans of Red Stripe lager.

Still sounds like a good day out anyway! It's the same with the Reggae Carnival held in Marrickville, it's all dancehall and dubstep with an MC toasting. No easy skankin' tunes to be heard. The last 'real' reggae act I enjoyed live was Nusu, two excellent female vocalists backed up by two guys on an acoustic guitar and an acoustic bass. I had to go to an InnerSoul night to hear real live reggae! 

It had to be done Leigh. No LKJ toasting but lots of old school dignified dreadlocks giving sagely reason to the youth.

Hi Mikey. Saw your FB shots of this. Still looked like fun. I am sure you can track down some decent reggae in London.

it's all speed reggae now...

He's awesome. Listening to Daorum *again* tonight

 

This stuff is like nothing I've ever heard before. The inflections, timbres and rhythms contained in deeply unfamiliar music can be incredible discoveries at times. So exciting.

 

On the back of a $5 donation to download the album, I only received the first track. Simon was non-plussed about it when I contacted him thru bandcamp, so he posted me the cd the next day, no extra charge. So cool.
