about

From southern Congo's Katanga province, this album features the music of the lesser known Kanyok people and their various Luba neighbours. Madimba xylophones, ditumba buzz drums, Kyondo slit drums, likembe and chisanhi thumb-piano's, chipeni singing gourds - and more. Hearing is believing.....

La Locura de Machuca 1975-1980 (Analog Africa Nr. 30)
by Analog Africa

Another golden compilation from AA! Great introduction to Afro-Colombian psychedelia via the Discos Machuca back catalogue. These songs are full of infectious percussion, trance-inducing rhythms, sun-soaked melodies, and hauntingly beautiful vocals. Hard to pick a favourite song, but I've played side D the most. j j headington
