Nothing for 10 days?  You guys are slack!

 

Moving a little north from the Indian stuff, I've recently been listening this again...

 

 

Yunchen Lhamo.  A beautiful voice from Tibet.  This album was recorded in Australia, with some interesting modern instrumental arrangements.  It's quite relaxing, but manages not to veer into "New Age Meditation".

it is worthwhile to check out the Alan Lomax collection.........

I remember seeing her perform at an earlier Womadelaide, a long time ago now. She was the closing act on the final evening. Great voice.

late addiction to Womadelaide 2014 Rachid Taha, rai with a healthy dose of rock

remember his Rock El Casbah tribute to the Clash?

a must buy is his 2000 album Made in Medina

One of those songs-Barra Barra-from the Made In Medina album made it onto the soundtrack of the movie Black Hawk Down.

Currently listening to Rajery-Volontany.Tunes from Madagascar

Debashish Bhattacharya. Developed and plays indian slide guitar — its certainly a guitar but not as we know it — more an amalgam of guitar and traditional indian stringed instruments.

I have the vinyl 'Beyond the Ragasphere' (with John Mclaughlin) on all the time at the moment - brilliant.

Also worth a listen:

Calcutta Chronicles: Indian Slide Guitar Odyssey

Yes, I was thinking of buying something really useful like a new flag for outside the house this weekend.

If you're into Arabic inspired jazz two of my favourite musos are Rabih Abou Khalil and Anouar Brahem - just about everything they do is worth listening to.

Khalil is a really playful muso, but if you want hard core Journey to the Centre of an Egg is brilliant

Brahem's The Astounding Eyes Of Rita is his latest album but all his stuff is interesting.

I stumbled onto Anouar Brahem for the first time today - absolutely captivated by the Eyes of Rita album. I used to play bass clarinet in high school and it's the instrument I miss the most. Have never heard one used in a quartet like this and featured for a whole album. Beautiful combination with the oud, the more western-sounding electrified bass and middle eastern percussion.

Ordered the CD from fishpond.com.au for around half the price that JB was asking.

Check out his other combos too kdoot.You're in for a real treat.:-)

Vishwa Mohan Bhatt-Ramkumar Mishra. Indian slide guitar.

Should try to catch up as we will be there Fri-Sun and we live in Adelaide.  Perhaps a small libation to the music gods and chat?

M8 Womadelaide has started, rocking to Los Coronas atm

Their trumpet player is amazing.

John Cleary & the Absolute Monster Gentlemen. Only 3 players but what a sound! Jazz Funk at its best, attacking drummer, a bass player laying thick (but fast) licks - you could spread veggemite and great baby grand piano and electric piano playing. Best band so far
