AWESOME MIX ALERT!!!

Current mood: BLIMEY GOOD Category: BLIMEY GOOD Music If you were here a month or so ago, you may remember me advocating you visit a rather wonderful blog/download resource called Awesome Tapes From Africa.... This blog offers a simple and knowledgeable way into the thick and clever diversity that is African music and for my burnt dollar, it's one of the best and most lovely free musical internet resources out there.... Anyway, this here mix, which was posted on ATFA, is great. I'm playing it almost daily and thoroughly recommend you get your teeth into it. I doubt you'll find a better way in... So, here's the whole entry - Be sure to send the kudos and thanks their way... Simon's Slow Music from Africa mixtape My friend Simon has a pretty impressive collection of vinyl from Africa, well actualy from all over. But he seems to be growing his African selection a lot lately. He sent me this mixtape the other day and I wanted to share it with you people. Dude is on his way to Guinea to make a film about children and music drawing peace pictures. If this very concept strikes your fancy, as it does mine, you should write to Simon and tell him "good luck/you're mad" at drawingpeace at gmail dot com. Download this mix of obscure West African music here. Above is a photo of the records on the mixtape, which Simon provided in the interest of "blog continuity." What a chill guy that Simon is...
