Just back from a two week break on the island of Lamu in East Africa. It's cold and wet in London and all I want to do is to go straight back to the sea, sand, fish, fruit and wonderful people I met on the island. Keeping me warm are some taraab CDrs that I picked up on the main alley in Lamu Town. I've made a selection of around two hours which I hope you enjoy.

And on November rotation at matsuli headquarters:
Issue number nine for Analog Africa. An outstanding compilation of mostly pre-independence tunes from Angola.
Syl Johnson's Complete Mythology from the Numero Group. This one is for completists only - 6 LPs, 4 CDs and LP-sized book in a slipcase. Beautiful.
13 obscure seventies and early eighties tracks from Abijan recovered by vinyl digger Djamel Hammadi

Ah, "Kenyan Vinyl" aka 'the recordable CD stuffed with magnificent mp3s that you will never ever be able to get out of your head labeled "track 1", "track 0002", "01.mp3", "music.mp3" and the like'.
My very favorite thing.
- Ntwiga.
