ejp626 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 A new 2-CD compilation on the World Circuit label. So far it is quite reasonable in the UK and pretty expensive elsewhere. World Circuit This is the label that put out Buena Vista Social Club, and there are a few tracks by them and associated artists. Also, a lot of African artists -- Orchestra Baobab, Toumani Diabate, Ali Farka Toure, etc. 6 unreleased tracks and 1 track never on CD. All this and the weirdest cover of A Love Supreme you'll ever hear by a Cuban artist called Anga Diaz. If you like "world music" or more specifically the Andy Kershaw show on BBC radio 3, you'll want this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Never heard Andy Kershaw's BBC show, but I have a fair number of World Circuit LPs and CDs, and can't recall a bum one in the bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloe Omoe Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) All this and the weirdest cover of A Love Supreme you'll ever hear by a Cuban artist called Anga Diaz. Miguel "Anga" Diaz was one of the hottest Cuban congueros on the scene. I say "was" because he died just a couple of months ago. He was only 45. His World Circuit CD, "Echu Mingua", which the Love Supreme cover is taken from, is very, very good.
