    Arto's song has always been Global Truth to me as you introduced me to it.

      I just cannot express in words how I felt when I heard the news.............but it was exactly like this:

      Finale, de "Floresta do Amazonas" del compositor brasileño Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) interpretada por la soprano Maria Luisa Tamez, el Coro Nacional de ...


      ......If it were just me I wouldn't be at all bothered but it is such a terrific result for Anderson.

        ...........Incidentally, Global, don't think I failed to observe Alasdair Fraser slipping out quietly just as Oumou came back in. No one gets away from this venue without it being noticed and then noted down for future reference.

        Anyhow, that Special EFX number is excellent.

        I have just added Takashi Hirayasu and Bob Brozman's 'Jin Jin'; Rizwan-Muazzam Qawwali's 'Dil Wali Cal Karni'; Teddy Afro's '400 Fikir' and Sipho Gumede's 'Hammersdale'. No YT for these four so those without Spotify can use their imagination(s?).

          You know that way when a song comes on and you have to go back and play it again....and then again. Today that song happened to be 'Erin-Go-Bragh' and I reckoned that the DG had to go onto the list and then I saw the list was expanded and thought: 'Ain't no stoppin' me now!'

            Great stuff. He is also good live. I saw him at Cecil Sharp House.

            "Ain't no stoppin'"? I have spent this morning in Morrisons creating a sound in my head of McFadden and Whitehead doing 'Pound a Week Rise'. It was a great way of not becoming too involved with the items in other peoples' baskets. All it needs now is for someone to invent a machine that can record it onto flexi-disc.

            Is Leeds a part of the world? I assume "yes" so that this favourite can be included* -

            There should also be a version of a part of this one -

            Is Stepney a part of the world? Perhaps we can risk this one -

            This selection will end appropriately enough with a biguine -

                      ...............Global - I am little puzzled as you seem rather quiet. Has something gone awry with the list?

                      A clever inclusion of Tinariwen's collaborators, I thought, but we have the track by Nasser Shamma twice. Can I remove one?

                      I do hope you will be adding more.

                      John - I liked the water music. Great stuff!

                          That is very good. I love their voices. This intriguing item might be on Spotify. I just haven't found it yet:

                          시나위는 남도 무속음악에서 비롯된 것으로, 각 연주자들이 즉흥적으로 가락을 이어가는 것이 특징이다. 2010년 가을, 국악방송 주최로 뉴욕에서 열린 제2회 뉴욕산조축제&심포지엄에서 소개되어 현지 민족음악 학자들로부터 기립박수를 받은 바 있다.


                          A prize to Doug Schulkind if he plays it next week.

                          In the meantime, I have added something similar to our list - "Shinawi" by the Korean Folk Music Ensemble. It is difficult to say precisely when this extraordinary music originated but the CD is called "Four Thousand Years". Surely it can't be, can it?

                          I haven't fully taken yet to Vieux Farka Toure. I do accept though that he has silenced his critics with "The Secret". Justifiably described as the Hendrix of the Desert, he collaborated on "Aigna" with Derek Trucks. Trucks is a terrific musician in his own right. I have added it, happily, to our list. Here is the relevant clip along with another of the Tedeschi Trucks Band which I have posted before. In my humble opinion, it is nothing less than one of the best soul tinged songs from the United States in the past decade.

                              And so we bring this most fascinating playlist to a close. I shall be sharing it appropriately, not just with my cousin but with the world via the sharemyplaylist website. Based on previous performance that means it will get at least 3 listens.


                              Wonder what we'll think of next?? Perhaps the 3-headed devil knows the answer...

                                The chimera, other than for those who once played a lot of the card game "pairs", is how it ended up at 199.
