Rihannon Giddens live at the NO Jazz and Blues Heritage Festival, May 2017. Love this gal.

Surprisingly good sound. Too bad it's a cdr.

Money No Be sand (Original Music)

A fascinating document showing how Nigerian (and a few Ghanaian) bands appropriated music from other cultures - calypso, rock steady and ska, soul and funk, Congolese guitar, British folk, and rock and roll, and made all of it their own music. It ends with a female vocalist singing the Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down" against metal percussion instruments - and it works beautifully.

The compilation was put together by John Storm Roberts for his Original Music label. He is missed.
