'Astrakan Cafe' is a really good chill down album. I'm also working on a serie about musicians and football. My intention is to cover ALL countries. I'm at #14 now. It's witten in Dutch (can't help it - my mother tongue), but music is an universal language... (there are some sounds on it.)

I love her '92 record Wa Di Ye but her next (Annabi) left me a bit cold (it's still good, though) and I lost track of her afterwards. If you don't know her (or she's not the one you're not too into) I could send you a couple of mp3s. BTW, great blog. You're on my "daily check" list! Amina is from Tunisia.

I have been enjoying the World Cup immensely; for the first time, all the games are available live here in the US, though my work schedule doesn't permit me to see them all. I was thrilled by Ghana's victory over the Czech's, but national loyalty compels me to back USA this week. I like the African and Asian teams very much as they seem to retain more of the spirit of football being a game and they often look like they are having fun. It's thrilling to feel a part of a genuine international community brought together by this fine event! Great tunes!
