Something Is Wrong – Songs From East Africa Vol 2 – 1952 to 1957Various
LP (Item 544912) Honest Jons (UK), 1950s — Condition: New Copy
Amazing East African recordings from decades long past – a 2LP vinyl entry for the most beautifully put together compilations of any kind on Honest Jons in quite a while – which is really something, given their always top tier efforts! Something Is Wrong – Songs From East Africa, 1952-7 features the later material featured on the 2CD Something Is Wrong compilation of recordings made in Uganda and Kenya from the 30s to the 50s – some wildly energetic, fast and feverishly performed, others with more lilting melodies and less fraught atmosphere. Essentially it's regional minstrel music with impassioned vocals, the more stripped down songs played on the ndingidi and other spare instrumentation, others have larger ensemble vocals and instrumentation including oud, accordion, violins, Indian harmonium and more. 18 tracks on 2LPs – in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with insert. Includes "Aoko" by Were Omito, "Wasonga Muga" by Robert Opio, "Okwara" by J Omwami, "Obabla Jimmy" by Bernard Odungu, "Ogwel" by Oluch", "Akhafu Akhaf Indarat" by El Antari, "Shindu" by Reuben Imbinkha, "Abataka" by Sumoni & Party, "Kitagararan" by WKA Laboso & Esta and more. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
