Music from Senegal (Djaly Ibrahima Seck & Fatou Mbaye Diop)

Djaly Ibrahima Seck & Fatou Mbaye Diop - Forage & Moulin.zip

From Natari: "Another gorgeous album from the popular husband and wife singing duo of Djaly Ibrahima and Fatou. He is known locally as 'Jali Bu Ngul' - or the the 'Black Jali' - as he is rather dark and his wife bleaches her skin and powders herself to accentuate the difference. Percussion comes once again from Alle Nguer Mbaye and talmbatte from El Hadji Ndiaye with help this time from Gora Mbaye and Modou Fall on mbeung mbeung and tama respectively. Dara Guisse as usual tinkles away furiously on the lovely sounding xalam."

These guys are also responsible for the amazing Mberry release - available from awesometapes for free download.

music from thailand #4 (phongsi woranut)

10. จีบสาวถึงบ้าน (chip sao thueng ban).mp3

12. รักน้องบ่ต้องแล้ง (rak nong bo tong laeng).mp3

From the maemaiplengthai label. Formulaic thai ballads, sometimes with cotton club horns. the start of track 12 sounds like a wu tang loop.

Peter, would mind giving us some song titles?!

music from nigeria: popular ishola adepoju and his native blues

Iwa re lenia.mp3

This one comes from John B. I was on his case to digitise it from the vinyl as soon as he played it to me. Beautiful Yoruba hand-drumming from Nigeria. Polyrhythms like nobody's business. I'd love to know what he yells at the start of his songs if anyone can translate.

p.s. That signature on the cover seems to have no relation to the artist at all.

sornkili meets ratanaruang

Our man sornkili is all over Pen-Ek Ratanaruang's movie 6ixtynin9! I like the literal translation from the film's original thai trailer: "the turning point of fate on 69 number on one woman's one day-off".
