AS 41 didn't work, but AS 42 seemed to download and expand ok.

Sounds good. Thanks to Matsuli and Ekki!

Hello, do you by any chance have something by Musi-o-tunya (the Zamrock band, not to be confused with Misty in Roots who lived and worked in Zambia for quite some time and recorded a song under that name as well)? I have searched high and low and came up completely empty. From what I know, the band broke up mainly over problems with their manager who subsequently disappeared with their demo recordings, so old LP's are probably all that is left. Any help much appreciated! Veronika

Matt, Thank you for these great AS disks! I have been downloading them since a friend sent me a link to your blog a couple weeks ago for another friend who has a world music show on a local coop radio station. He has a reasonable collection of African music but has been thrilled with the rare stuff on these disks and has played extensively from them the last couple weeks.
I was able to extract all the files from AS 41 using WinRAR except track 6. WinRAR gave the following diagnostic messages:
! C:\xxxx\AS41.zip: The archive is corrupt
! C:\xxxx\AS41.zip: CRC failed in African Serenades Vol 41 - Ekki\06 Kadia Blues.m4a. The file is corrupt
! C:\xxxx\AS41.zip: The archive is corrupt
If it would be possible to up just that one track for download that would be awesome.
Thanks for all the great music,
Morgan.

My technicians have returned and a new link has been deployed. Regarding Musi-O-Tunya no I don't have anything at hand but I'll see if anyone in the network can help.
