A MUSICAL ANTHOLOGY OF AFRICA : SUDAN II

Here's another out-of-print Barenreiter / Unesco LP, this one is Sudanese music, digitized just in time for the hot weather. Featured on this platter are two tribes from the Blue Nile province: the Ingessana and the Berta. Both are located near the Ethiopian border, and thus are similarly Arabized. Especially noteworthy are the polyrhythmic mono-flute ensemble jams on Side B, which appear to be 9/16 over 4/8!

    Hello Wills

    I think you're doing very very interesting work and I like reading about your adventures. I especially liked the one you did about your trip to South Africa and the Blk Jks. Have you got a story about when you met Dog of the Tshe Tsha boys? I'm from Joburg and I would like to find out more about them. Do you have any contacts?

    Thanks
