World Trip No1

MELANESIA, it read -songs and games from Bellona. A carved wooden mask on a bright yellow background, who could resist? This was the first ‘World’ album that I bought, it was the late 70’s & I’ve been collecting ever since…. This is a mix of a few favourites, old an new. From Snake Charmers in  Northern India, to Bluesy, Trancey, Funky an even some Eretrean reggae…Enjoy…   1 Igbal Jogi & Party-Lal Mori Pat(India) 2 Tinariwen-Imidiwan Ma Tenam (Mali) 3 Chaweewan Dumnem-Sao Lam Plearn (Siam) 4 Sonar Senghor & His Troupe-Sabar (Senagal) 5 Asmara All Stars featuring Faytinga-Amajo (Aeitrea) 6 Mulau Astatke featuring Belayanesh Wubante & assegedetch Asfaw-Alemiye (Ethiopia) 7 Gnaoua De Abdenbi Binizi-Yumala (Morocco) 8 Vincent Ahehehinnou-Ou C’est Lui Ou C’est Moi (Africa) 9 Kemani Noubar-Taqsim (Baghdad) 10 Spirits of Life-Agoue-Dambala (yanvalou Zepol) (Haiti) 11 Co Ba-thinh & Kham Thien-Hat Du (Vietnam) 12 Asmara All Stars featuring Davit Zeragabir-Eritrean Girl (Aeitrea) 13 Inez Munoz-Fandango De Comares (Spain) 14 Cleoma Falcon-Blue Negres (French /Louisiana) 15 Bulgarian State Radio & TV Female Choir-Mir Stanke Le (Bulgaria) 16 Tribe from Belona-Na Hau A Na Sa A (Melanesia) 17 Frew Haylou-Eyetegnu Nequ (Ethiopia) 18 Hosoo & Transmongolia-Hoer Setgel (Mongolia)
