musical link: Cuban Marimba, Culture Music Club, Fundi Konde and Western Jazz
An update on all that vinyl, while I did manage to get a turntable and stereo, it turns out that the stereo that I bought has no phono inputs. So I am trying to get a phono amp from somewhere or maybe even a USB turntable. I also am just beginning to work on the backlog of audio tapes that I have so those should start appearing on the blog shortly.
Maybe I should just take you up on your offer Musa, eh?
On, lets get going. A couple of re-posts to deal with requests and a couple of new tracks.
Salum Abdallah & Cuban Marimba
Off African Serenades #14. Its Abdullah/Cuban Marimba with Tanzania Twist in a repost of a track that went up a long time back.
Abdullah - Cuban Marimba - Tanzania Twist
(Cover art from Doug Paterson’s site.)
Culture Musical Club
Another gem this week from Tanzania’s cultural icons, this is Jipeleleze (Examine yourself).
Fundi Konde
A track with a message, here is Fundi Konde commemorating a disaster that killed so many.
Marashi ya warembo
Can anyone help with identifying this track for us: the name of it is certainly “Marashi ya Warembo” but beyond that, I’ve got nothing aside from guessing Daudi Kabaka.
Doug’s favorite group is on the scene again. Here is Western Jazz.
Once again, I steal the album art is “stolen” from none other than our Columbian friend “AfriColumbia”.
A couple of tracks make up the track of the week section for this week. Does anyone know who this is?
Another 120bpm track to keep things mooooooving!
St. Andy - Multipills [ Drivetrains Sophisticated Funk Mix ]
You can get more of St. Andy’s music at Epitonic which is a great site to get music from if you are into this genre.
And we are done, see you in 7 days.

Still cant access the file. I see “hidden” in that link so i guess we dont have the relevant permissions to access the file.
please place the file in the Hype Machine. Its ever easier for me to download through the hype machine feed as opposed to directly from this site. Thx.

The file should be fine now: please give the link another try.

September 4, 2007, 8:56 pmHi Steve - my turntable offer still stands. I was very disappointed for not having ran into you at Afro-fest. Why don’t you come and visit next time you are in TO and bring all the vinyl you have with you!!!!!! then we can spend a whole weekend converting everything to mp3!!!
Thanks for the kind offer Musa. I will probably be taking you up on it pretty soon.

Why is that all the previous song posts have been disable.
Regards
Maroa
hi Maroa,
Tracks typically go down after having been up for 2 weeks so anything that has been on the site for more than that period of time will no longer be accessible.
If there is a specific track that you would like for me to put up on the web again, please let me know and I will repost it.

April 23, 2009, 11:10 pmI was very stuned when I was watching live music at Paris stadium, seeing an African from Tanzania playing such a beautiful lead guitar, you can not believe the way he play the guitar compare to Santana.
