The "establishment" archives of the academies and the record companies, by shutting up the sounds in basements inaccessible to the rest of us, merely bury everything that is truly living about these joyful noises. You guys bring them back to life by bringing them back home where they belong - in the lives of ordinary Africans. The extensively researched notes which accompany the sounds not only provide context but provide one of the most well informed commentaries on these voices of the past anywhere. <br /><br />I have certainly developed an immeasurably enriched experience of the history and expression of my country and an ever fiercer love for the people who produced them. Thank you for taking seriously the implicit injuction of every vibrant cry made by the people of this land ever since they were robbed of it: <br /><br />Woza!<br /><br />and<br /><br />Mayibuye!<br /><br /><br />All the best<br />Siddiq<br />Love Letters Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006836317438859035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-36275962834903578952013-06-21T00:13:58.965+01:002013-06-21T00:13:58.965+01:00This is fantastic--not just for the great music, b...This is fantastic--not just for the great music, but the excellent research and essay on it.

Many thanks for the detailed write-up. ...FANTASTIC!<br />Many thanks for the detailed write-up. A most informative and fascinating read. <br />Most sources just mention the mutual assistence between SA artists in exil. It's interesting to read about the rivalry, too.<br /><br />The Mediafire link is already gone, but they are superfast in blocking links these days. I had the same problem with many links, doesn't matter how rare and obscure the music is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-90737976291700832922012-12-24T00:35:57.054+00:002012-12-24T00:35:57.054+00:00Wonderful stuff, Siemon - a great Christmas gift. ...Wonderful stuff, Siemon - a great Christmas gift.
