For me this track sounds really similar to “Ndanzwa Ngoma Kurira” by Thomas Mapfumo. It’s really funny to hear it like this. If anybody could confirm or may be it’s just my imagination…

What a terrific song! I’m so glad you started this weblog. It’s been just what I needed to start learning about African music. I’m often amazed by the music you highlight.

Very nice and intriguing piece of work! I just had rediscovered Kevin Volans’ White man sleeps by Kronos Quartet in my own collection. Also a stunning piece, but the way Volans keeps these harpsichords humming is truly mind boggling!
It is posts like these wich keep this weblog high in my personal list of favs (and it gets my iTunes pretty much filled too!)

thanx a lot, and by way of a listener’s request: delight us with rare and obscure gems from Mali! Any Ramata Diakité, Adja Soumano or Kasse Mady Diabaté I totally missed?
