What music are you listening to at the moment?

Hi Congadelica,
just got "Echu Mingua" and I can only say it´s AWESOME!
You´re right the track Puebla nueva is fine, but all the other - more "experimental", "avantgarde" tracks are even cooler...

Cheers!

Charangaman,

I am so envious (in a caring kinda way)

I would have been there if I hadnt been gigging.

Toots and the Maytals-what a treat and a blast from the past. Real Roots.

and Ojos de Brujos- I just cant get enough of them, I love where they are taking Flamenco, what are they like live?

Diceman & Congadelica,

I'll definatley go again, the whole event was tops...

To be honest I didn't check for Groove Armada as they clashed with TOOTS..

Ojos de brujo are mental live! Cajon action!
Ska Cubano very slick..& Tinawaraen (sp?) Out of Mali were awesome..

But no-one nice up the dance like TOOTS!

peace&blessings,
as a coltrane lover i would say a love supreme is my favorite track on anga's
(also is likley the most interesting cover of coltrane i heard so far).
los van van are scheduled to perform in my area and i am definetly going, God willing.
the previous time i saw them live pedrito, roberto and pupi were still with the band.
i am curious to hear the new line up. (but most of all i am greasing my dancing shoes )
toots hilbert still rocks hard after 40+ years! more power to him.
one love

I´m re-listening to:


David Byrne, Uh-Oh

Radio Tarifa (the best of mediterrenean fusion!)

Orchestra Baobab, Specialist in All Styles

[ABAKUA]

Been checking out stuff by a band out of Cuba called "Los aces de la Timba" (The Aces of Timba) Absolutely wicked arrangements, killer groove and awesome tracks.

Check them out if you get a chance.

Hi Marco,
There are several recordings available by Los Muñequitos de Matanzas, you can find 9 of them here: http://www.afrocubaweb.com/munequitos/muneqdisc.htm

You cant go wrong with Muñequitos. I prefer the old school line up however.

[Congadelica]

Thanks .

[tfunk]

Hey Conga Tick,
I'm with you on the Spam-Allstars, I've been really into them lately. A great mix of funk & breakbeats with Afro-Cuban grooves. Got to see them live recently, FUN!!

[Charangaman]

Really into the latest Ozomatli - Don't mess with the Dragon...

Also Yerba Buena's new thing & from Somalia K'nann
