i think the british library's "sounds" site is kind of underutilized in general, maybe because everything is streaming as opposed to easily downloadable, and it's not as user-friendly as it could be. but it's an amazing resource.
i mean check out http://sounds.bl.uk/World-and-traditional-music/Ethnographic-wax-cylinders

So much stuff! Hard to keep track of it all. Anyway, just bought that Waterman book, which will likely only increase my list of things to check out. Thanks, gang.

yeah I read that Waterman book in college, which is a long time ago now and I don't remember much of it. but liked it at the time.

i thought that jollof rice song sounded familiar so i searched it on spotify/my local library -- it turns out i didn't have a copy of it, but searching it brought up this album which is apparently really new and has a jollof rice track on it?! http://www.mvulamandondo.com/album/ambush/

this is the same tracklisting as the Palm Wine Guitar Music comp but i'm hoping the vol 1 means we can expect a vol 2

Just came looking for a thread on SE Rogie after finding The Sounds of SE Rogie on LP this weekend. Initial thoughts were Rogie = African Hank Williams but it's a very simplistic analogy. Enjoying this with the windows open and a warm breeze flowing through the house.

somehow missed this came out last year
You know what's a good album ? Seven Degrees North (2000) by King Sunny Adé.
I tried (bottled) palm wine two weeks ago. It was light, sweetish, slightly tart, not bad but not something I'd trade a beer for.
