The African Serenades were as series of compilations compiled by a number of African music fans including myself. At one stage I even had a website with all the artwork and download links to the full series. The web sheriff closed that down and the compilations took on a life of their own via CDr swops, soulseek and private sharing. They remain one of the most asked after reloads from visitors to matsuli. So I've reloaded three of my contributions, including the very first which I have retitled Lights Down Low. Volume 11 is a selection of South African jazz and 50 includes a lot of fuzzy guitar sounds. All the tracks are numbered and artwork is included. Enjoy!
VOLUME 1 :: LIGHTS DOWN LOW
VOLUME 11 :: SOWETO CALLING
VOLUME 50 :: AFROPSYCEDELICDAZE

I was influenced at an early age by the low riders of East Los Angeles. Maybe it's the memories of lazy drives along the Pacific Coast Highway playing "Sleep Walk", who knows, but there is a huge soft spot in my musical heart for quiet laid back grooves. I just downloaded vol 1 and it's a treasure already. Thank you Matt.
By the way, I agree with everything sexy says.

Thank you very much for the re-up and all other nicities shared recently!
If you're interested in groovy 60's-70's Iranian music I've posted some lately over at my blog:

Would be honoured if you'd pay me a visit!
Thank you, Number 1 is amazing. I now have 6 of the African Serenades comps anymore would be very welcome!
Thanks for the re-up. At the time I managed to download your comps since vol. 35 only. I wish you or someone else could reupload the whole serie. By the way, it's thank to your site that I've discovered the sterns music site. Thank you for all your efforts.
