Stopped at the record store during lunch, no trace (and they order all the Thirsty Ear releases). Aargh.

So, Negrophilia is finally out. It has some moments, but I'm largely underwhelmed. Everything I've heard from Nostalgiator hits harder, and themes/hooks are largely non-existent. I've only listened to it once or twice though.

Arat Kilo — Toulo
Arat Kilo’s third album, entitled Visions Of Selam, is a wish for universal peace. Selam means Peace in Amharic. But it’s also the name of the Australopithecus fossil discovered in Afar. What would this individual, born 3 million years ago, think of this world? Malian singer Mamani Keita and rapper Mike Ladd join the Paris-based ethio-groove band Arat Kilo in their quest to explore this theme in their signature ethio-jazz style by blending in Mandinka vocals, rap, afrobeat, groove, dub & more.
