My wife's more appreciative of Nigerian highlife, but I'll take just about anything Balake recorded, and hear it repeatedly. Thanks again, as I remarked above, for placing so much of his excellent music up here for others to find, and enjoy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-10669937927905290182013-06-07T21:38:14.121-07:002013-06-07T21:38:14.121-07:00I've got to say--I started sampling an album a...I've got to say--I started sampling an album and a couple of singles of Balake, and immediately started downloading the rest you offer. He's really great; and I don't get the feeling he's so much eclectic, as he absorbs other styles into his own unique perspective. This is truly wonderful music, and thank you for offering it.BarryBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-60389994662519664792012-02-06T22:22:19.243-08:002012-02-06T22:22:19.243-08:00Sorry, but I will say a few words more... This rem...Sorry, but I will say a few words more... This reminds me of, when I was in my mid-20s (yes, that late: around here in Brazil such things are not so widespread, we lack tradition), I found out about Nelson Cavaquinho. It has some rough side to it, that causes a strange feel at first, but that resonates deeply after a while. I will certainly get a copy of the book you mentioned elsewhere about Burkinabé music, as soon as I can.

I must say that I truly, deeply, appreciate your efforts, as well as GlobalGroove's (where I post things more frequently) and Orogod's (I still owe him a word or two). I have since fallen in love with "Nabacouboury", it's one of those songs that changes one's life! Of course, I am Latin and am probably exaggerating (although I truly do not think so), but would like to thank you, while I am listening to it. I also really enjoyed "Keleya", by Alou Fané, but somehow I think this is even better.<br />Grande abraço from Rio!

It's been in heavy rotation since downloading, and will continue to be so. Thank you for this, as well as all the music you share, and for your efforts to place the music in it's cultural context.<br />John A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-1054958862430993642011-04-30T07:27:01.104-07:002011-04-30T07:27:01.104-07:00Thanks a million!
