Not too random...it being Diwali, Cerys had Anoushka Shankar with her this morning. Thought this would be appropriate for a world music Sunday.

Such a beautiful track, GT. I see there's a new book out by the Lost Words people called 'The Lost Spells'...I imagine that at some point there may be more music associated with that.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostComment

On the subject of Karine Polwart and ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow next year, here's a musical response from Karine, Oi Musica and Soundhouse Brass and a pile of others. It's based on the Glasgow Coat of Arms - 'Tree that never grew, Bird that never flew, Fish that never swam, Bell that never rang', and is called 'Enough is Enough'.
Happy Random World Music Sunday to all!Comment

Lampião and his gang were a bad lot but - terrific hats.
You can get away with a lot with hats like that

Sometimes we overlap with the jazzers...no one ever complains.

Thanks, GT. I heard this track on the radio this week too and not on LJ either. Also on the 'Neverending' I put a track by McCoy Tiner that I'm fairly sure has Alice playing harp on.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostSometimes we overlap with the jazzers...no one ever complains.

"Hillbilly music from India" is perhaps the best way to describe this gem uncovered by renowned jazz and blues collector Russ Shor and featured on the Excavated Shellac blog. According to the blog, "This disc on the Young India label is something of a mystery. Recorded in Bombay in the late 1930s, by (apparently) a Goanese duo, it illustrates what an international crossroads that city was during the Raj era -- especially when it came to recording."
The tune is clearly a translation or adaptation of Will S. Hays' song "Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane" written in 1871, and made famous by Riley Puckett in the 1920s.
That's the Blurb on the youtube clip...hard to resist.

Well, if Kathryn Tickell rates Tom Clough as the best small pipe player on the basis of the only album he ever produced then I think we should give him a proper listen.
But first, here's KT talking about, and expertly playing, the Northumbrian pipes:
She played this track by Tom Clough to finish her latest show:
but here is another (which I think is even better but only as a mere fan):
"Ho'ley Ha'penny / Elsie Marley"
I love the comment below one of the vids
