It took forever to come up, so I kept giving up. When eventually I just let it come by itself, it was worth it!

Sounds like it's from somewhere east of Ghana when the voice starts. Though Momo "Wandel" Soumah, from Guinee Conakry has a rather similar voice.

What is it? Where can you get it?

And when are we going to have a BFT from you, Rod?

Oh, goodness. I didn't realize that it was such a big file.

Sorry. Are you on dial-up? I hope you saved the file to

listen over and over - :D

OK, you can get it on this funky comp:

Never really thought of a BFT really...just never learned how it works.

I know the concept (Downbeat, Wire, etc...), but never have checked

the O-Forum workings of it I guess.

No, I'm on broadband, but I think it's only something like 500 somethings per whatever.

I'll have to look into that comp. Who is the artist on that track?

Edit - Oh - I've found it now.

The band appear to have only made 2 recordings. It's also available on this comp, which is all Ghana stuff.

And I've just ordered it.

It's also featured in S/T (issued on Rounder last week) of the film "The last king of Scotland", an enjoyable adventure with Idi Amin (at least, the book was enjoyable).

Once more, many thanks, Rod. I don't usually buy compilations but this one looks as if it concentrates on less well represented people.

Yea, I forgot that it's on that too. There's two volumes of that too.

I think all three are nice to have, but I'm not averse to comps

(unless I'm doubling up). Thanks for the info on "The Last King of Scotland"

I want to look at track listings on that.

Hope you enjoy!

Back to fertilizing the yard...
