Origine du Groupe : V.A West Africa
Style : World Music , Funk Rock Psychedelic
Sortie : 2005

Si vous vous êtes fait plaisir avec les compilations de funk africain "Ghana Soundz 2"et "Afro Baby" de chez Soundway (voir ci-dessus), alors vous pouvez aussi foncez sur celle-ci, tout aussi mortelle, mais avec sa propre personnalité, dans la lignée des compiles de chez Comet Records, "Racubah", "Ouelele" ou "Bilongo". Le spectre des musiques représentées y est plus large, regroupant afrobeat, afro-jazz, afro-cubain et afro-funk. Les tracks funk/rock/afrobeat viennent bien évidemment du Nigeria et du Ghana, mais on y visite aussi l'Afrique de l'ouest, avec par exemple des morceaux de rhumba ou de blues du Mali. En fait c'est toute la sensibilité de David Byrne, ex-leader des Talking Heads et aujourd'hui responsable du label Luaka Bop en parallèle avec sa carrière solo, que l'on retrouve dans ce disque: un éclectisme pointu et raffiné pour un panorama de la musique psychédélique africaine. Imaginez ce qu'a pu donner le psychédélisme dans un continent qui adore les couleurs et a des siècles d'expérience en psychotropes, et vous aurez une petite idée de ce que vous trouverez dans ce CD. Ah?

Songs From The Source of The Nile is quite simply one of the most sublime musical experiences I've ever had the pleasure of having. This is one of those albums where every single track is well worth the price of the entire album. Every song takes the listener to a completely different realm--one of deep beauty and exquisite poetry. Ms. Magoola's talent is quite simply stunning. Her vocals and harmonies are resoundingly delicious, her musical compositions and arrangements are pure perfection, and the infectious warmth of her rhythms and melodies will feed your soul for a long long time... until you are inspired once more to pop the CD back into your player. Thank you Rachel Magoola!!

Origine du Groupe : V.A Iran
Style : Psychedelic Rock Garage
Sortie : 2010

Amazing collection that gathers some of the rarest Persian 45s, totally unknown outside of Iran until now. Here you'll find an eclectic mix of styles, from garage nuggets to cool Persian beat, exotic rock&roll and prog/psych. Featuring female drummer & singer Zangoleah with some killer garage / rockin' tracks, obscure bands like Takkhalha doing a fab cover of the Stones "Play with fire" and an amazing take on the Persian traditional song "Mastom, Mastom", Golden Ring styled beat by Big Boys, exotic Persian beat by Saeed and Tigers, terrific garage-beat by Ojubeha and the two sides of the Kambiz 45, probably the major discovery from Iran in the recent years and one of the few, if not the only truly Persian prog/psych 45s ever recorded.
