I think you understand perfectly what ...@Wrlservice<br />I think you understand perfectly what I meant.<br /> I do not like compilations, because each album is a work created in a moment, compilations stir the temporal order of the songs.<br /> On the other hand if I'm not going to hear something new, or have more information that makes me appreciate something previously not perceived, I do not think then a great contribution.<br /><br /> Also I think they have not had the participation of any one of the creators, that those two new songs, would be narrated.<br /> Then at least the technician who was in charge of production, deserves our thanks for his sensitivity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-70995664415457960292014-08-05T11:11:07.881-07:002014-08-05T11:11:07.881-07:00@Ngoni: I don't understand what you are trying...@Ngoni: I don't understand what you are trying to say.<br />If you mean that the Stern's compilation does not add a lot to what has already been released, I agree. But compared to other recent releases (and given my low expectancy) the quality is good, and the production appears to have been done with some care.<br /> <br />As to the first Radio Mali not being an Ambassadeurs track, you may be right. And given the limited knowledge with the ORTM, I wouldn't be very surprised.WrldServhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11086024409769016464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-22195115555335742682014-08-04T15:46:25.676-07:002014-08-04T15:46:25.676-07:00@Wrlservice

Or did the band have a rebirth in Haiti with new members?<br /><br />regards & hope it is sunny where you are<br /><br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-19379076670405612032014-07-07T22:55:50.679-07:002014-07-07T22:55:50.679-07:00I also have two other cassettes by him - Super Sou...I also have two other cassettes by him - Super Sound SS 87 and Samassa 7894.

But then, I've been involved in audio restoration (and spend an inordinate amount of time discussing visual restoration with friends who restore 1910s and 1920s motion pictures), though I'm not typical. This is highly viewable, and the music's great.

And you described so well similar experiences of absolute generosity I encountered in Mali as recently as 2008. I'm returning to Senegal next month for at least a year, and hope to visit friends in Yanfolila. I'll report back from that beautiful country.Wassoulouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877833030623430283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-404454888395970612014-04-26T19:46:56.894-07:002014-04-26T19:46:56.894-07:00Wonderful indeed.
