two listens this afternoon

African Percussion Meeting by Kakraba Robi & Midori Takada

a neat live album from Ghanese gyil [pictured] master Kakraba Lobi and another legend Takada. Interestingly, the album title misspells Lobi's name in the title, in what looks like the Japanese pronunciation. Even more interestingly (to me) is the track "Eastern African Songs II" being a take on Mkwaju Ensemble's "Lemore" - which in itself could be a take on another.

this then lead to

Songs of Paapieye by SK Kakraba

the nephew of Lobi and takes after him on the gyil. And he's found a new instrument technique for Frown's next album: "The buzzy rattle emitted with each note comes from the silk walls of spiders’ egg sacs stretched across holes in the gourds".

quality stuff these are
