so long as we are apropos good music (oh wait...):

i don't really have the energy to try and sell this feller
right presently.
but
Cotonou
is one of the best albums i've heard this decade i an' i
reckon'.
really great fusion of traditional african folk musics with
more modern playful stuff. this is the real deal. if nothing
more it's worth it for the swimmy multitracked mbiras on the
title track.

basically you are a swine if you don't at least try to give
it a try.
buying/downloading it both proved to be difficult tasks at
first. but maybe you will have better luck than i did.

oh i should mention that the tracklisting on AMG seems to be
fucked right now. there are more than two songs. i feel like
that page hasn't had that problem in the past, so maybe my
browser is being screwy right now?

i can't find this.. at least not in its complete version. i
can't see it on soulseek either, which is weird.

it's beautiful! at first the made up language bothered me,
but now it goes with the flow..really really nice album.
thanks for mentioning this.

i like that coastal album as well, but nothing near as much
as this one.

I like the release but I can't stand the made-up
language....speak english for chrissakes!

just kidding...i do find that very gimmicky though, whats so
great about gibberish that everybody's so into these days?
what would be better is if he sang in a real language and
told everyone it was gibberish and then only people who
spoke the language would be in on the joke...hmmm

i honestly never think about it. if it was gonna be
something, it would probably be french... possibly some sort
of african hybrid that i wouldn't be able understand very
well.
i think rhythmically it's very nice, and that's enough for
me.

elements as well.
