Sir Richard Bishop - Polytheistic Fragments (2007)



Quite an interesting mix here exploring various world influences and experimental outings.

Group Bombino - Guitars From Agadez Vol. 2 (2009)



A modern evolution of northern African music traditions.

Keep in mind these are live field recordings so the quality's not great but the energy is pretty kicking.




Edit: There are a number of videos on YouTube from various venues in the States so it would seem they have been pretty active.

Well done, stp ! Both of these albums look fascinating to me - I`ll be checking them out soon, whether they are poll winners or not.
Thanks for giving me some new leads into the kaleidoscopic maze of world music !

The first nomination led to the second by way of the Sublime Frequencies lable set up by Sir Richard Bishop and friends.

Hamza El Din - Al Oud: Instrumental & Vocal Music of Nubia (1965)



Bit of Oud music this time from an Egyptian born musician who apparently played with The Grateful Dead at one stage.

^ Thanks for this latest nomination, stp; I`ve just included it in the new poll. Looks like you are really digging deep into the stringed instruments of Africa at the moment. The kora and the oud both have a beautiful sound - perhaps we should open up one of those vs threads; the kora vs the oud.

When I read on Sublime Frequencies that the group's location was unknown I thought it might have been a bit of spin but apparently two of the band's members were executed and Bombino was living in exile in Burkina Faso.

I'll nominate another throat singing album since the last one was so popular. It's Oidupaa Vladimir Oiun's Divine Music From a Jail. It's vocals and accordian, written and recorded during Oidupaa's Serbian imprisonment. It's a gorgeous album and it has some of the best throat singing I've ever heard.

Can't find much on this Brazilian artist but a pretty nice album.
