Must have a look for the fillum...

I thought the track had been posted before, Global. Perhaps that was when. I'll go back to the interview - Cerys mentioned where you could rent it from online. He sounded like quite a guy, Mr King.

A jolly World party song...

DJ Ernesto Chahoud was on Music Planet with Kathryn yesterday and one of the tracks he chose was Egyptian guitarist, Omar Khorshid, and very fine indeed it was. Here's Omar in less traditional style covering The Shadows' 'Apache'...thought it might fit nicely for a Random World Music Sunday...have a good belly dance.

Yes, I made a point of listening to this show AS IT WAS TRANSMITTED. Most enjoyable - you chose a good track there.

Meanwhile, over on LJ, JLA slipped one or 2 good tracks in

Bandits Are Doing Bad Deeds
by
Comorian

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10TL2j5i1AI

Recorded live and outdoors on Grande Comore island by .... Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Ustad Saami, Zomba Prison Project).

The Comoro islands are known locally as the “islands of the moon.”

“We are an island, but we’re not alone” is the first album of original songs ever to be released from the region.

Brennan and his wife and working partner Marilena Delli Umuhoza took six flights to get to Grand Comora, the largest of the islands, hoping to record a seldom heard double-reed pipe called the ndzumara, only to be told on arrival that the last living player of the instrument had recently died. Through word of mouth they made contact with another fine musician and singer called Soubi plus his friend and mentor Mmadi, both of whom they proceeded to record, and We are an island, but we're not alone is the result.

The majority of the Comoro people are living in poverty and Brennan describes in the sleeve notes how the main source of income is sustenance fishing. Soubi and Mmadi present five songs each, on aspects of their everyday life, mainly accompanying themselves on the ndzendze, a box-zither related to the Malagasy valiha, and in Soubi's case also on the gambussi, a type of lute. - Rootswold

And, because we're not limited to a single track. How about this?

From 2016, streamed a mere 292 million times (yes, you read that right).
The Dead South, In Hell I'll be in Good Company, a redefinition of bluegrass - or is it? Im taken with these ultra simplistic rhyming schemas at the moment. Senility I suspect...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9FzVhw8_bY

Great video. Also ultra simple.

The Dead South have causied a stir online with their song ‘In Hell I’ll Be In Good Company’. Labelled as bluegrass, a form of American roots music related to the country genre, the song has been causing many fans to question the authenticity of the bluegrass affiliation. With influences of Irish, Scottish, and later, African American, the lines begin to blur. - musiccrowns

Well quite.

What a trio, GT. Brilliant!

Well, JLA played Gordon Easton singing The Drunken Piper on LJ which included an explanation of the fiddley-da-dee-da-fiddley-oh - made the title v relevant.
(and what a mixed bag LJ is nowadays - this ep. worked quite well, although the themed approach seems a bit lazy sometimes I find)
I couldn't find that exact track so here's a slinky World Music version of the song and Gordon Easton himself with a couple of tracks.

So, JC over to you for verification/explanation...and translation of the Gordon Easton tracks - I could understand most of it but there was the odd word or phrase that escaped understanding

On the web I found this - it always sounds like a waulking song to me...
wherever I am, is where I want to be,
2) Sine and I will go to the piper's house and dance a reel on the floor
3)As the piper gives us a tune for the reel, the shepherd has a fiddle and the craftsman has a pipe
3C) I heard from Sine that she had a jaw's harp and a comb, Although every fiddler and piper would be there


However, Mrs C has always told me it means 'I like my porridge hot with salt in it', Global.

Following yesterday's trip to the South Pacific courtesy of Wantok records, I had a wee look at one of the featured artists. Here's Eyuser from West Papua with a fine bit of stringband, and some natty headdresses too.
