Nomination 9 - Sainkho Namtchylak - Like a Bird, or a Spirit Not a Face
and the accompanying article by Robin Denselow
You'll find the whole album on Spotify. generally Tuvan singers with a 7 octave range duetting with Desert Blues boys deserve our support I think. Especially when they're great.
I'll just sneak this old track by her which illustrates her range of work, never mind her vocal range

Nomination 10 Washington Phillips & His Manzarene Dreams
3 reasons for this nomination, Washington Phillips is a rare find, and, although these recordings were made nearly 80 years ago, the album was lovingly assembled and released by Dust-to-Digital in 2016. Dust-to-Digital are the second reason; themselves a rare creature in the modern age; true enthusiasts dedicated to the art of preservation and discovery; real labour of love; long may they continue. Finally, a plug for Red Lick Records who distribute Dust-to-Digital in the UK and are another outlet worthy of support. Pre-internet days I remember the thrill of their list appearing through the letter box, and the (admittedly anorak-ish) greater thrill of poring over it, taking a chance on an unknown artist based on a brief review or a half-remembered track from somewhere else. Great days. Great music.

Nomination 11 Ólafur Arnalds - Island Songs
For a long time I imagined it was only the Late Junction posse who listened to Ólafur Arnalds, promoted ably by Fiona T, with occasional help from Verity Sharp and the upstart Max R (I know you're there OP).
Perhaps the producers of Broadchurch were LJ listeners too - we'll never know, anyway they picked up on him and....well, it doesn't seem to have made much of a difference to the quality of his output although hopefully he now has a wider audience.
This is Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir singing.
Island Songs was an ambitious project, 7 songs recorded in 7 weeks at 7 different locations. See what he did there?
Nominated as a tribute to (Fiona T of) LJ, to Ólafur Arnalds whose work I've generally enjoyed, not just in 2016 and because I still don't think he gets enough exposure.
Although there is another Broadchurch series on the way (Y A W N)

Nomination 12 - Cigdem Aslan - A Thousand Cranes
Trailer - "A Thousand Cranes" CD - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D6DDBWnU-I
Additional links - Cigdem Aslan and Tahir Palali in April-May 2016:
Kınamayın Dostlar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynIDqmsWVKE
Dünyada Tükenmez Murat Varimiş - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM0gD9AuwnQ
I think the quartet is made up of a Cretan and a couple of Iranians and the leader Jean-Guihen Queyras, and it is influenced by Thrace in Turkey. See what you think.
More in 2017 please Iris!!!!
