Listen All Around: The Golden Age of Central and East African Music
by Various Artists
supported by 4 fans who also own “Wangu Ukutina”
Very nice compilation of East-African music from the 50s. Mostly in a friendly, mellow groove, but with some interesting oddballs, such as the hypnotic bluegrass from another planet of Chemirocha III (that's Kipsgis for "Jimmie Rodgers," as in the yodeling cowboy!). As usual with Dust-to-Digital, the download includes a PDF with high-quality liner notes.
