I like the Mulatu Astatke tracks used in "Broken Flowers".
He's the "Father of Ethio-Jazz" apparently. I really know
fuck all about non-western music in general though, I
suppose it's something I can get into in my middle age along
with jazz and classical.

oh man, thanks..so much to look into again..cheers

i've had a quick listen to that rowe/nakamura between thing
(it's really long), and dunno really..i will have to give it
a proper listen as im sure it's intriguing, but it sounded
really experimental..i must be in a proper mood for that i
think..

cool. like i said its pretty diverse... i'd figure certain
tracks will appeal more than others.

I just got Tony Allen's new album Lagos No Shaking which any
fans of Fela Kuti should check out.

Gilles Peterson has a superb Africa double CD compilation
out.

The dogg!

I have an album if you're interested! It's proper ghetto:
Sounds like he stole a rich kid's yamaha synth and made an
album with the demo song + rap.
