It almost seems he's trying too hard to I don't know, be "world music"-ized or something. I love live Youssou Ndour a la bercy etc. <BR/><BR/>I did enjoy his Egypt Album as well as Thione Seck's Orientation, although I have to say that between him, Thione Seck, and Baba Maal, while I like them all (usually in thier most acoustic "real"/for the local market form", I like Thione Seck the best, I think, though I can't quite put my finger on why. Both Youssou and Thione have the types of voices that make you stop whatever you're doing and take notice, yet Thione Seck's voice has a mellower, more calming quality, I think.<BR/><BR/>And to the first commentor, ditto, I love me some mbalax, nothing to get me going and threw a day of work than that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459104099060577976.post-14988477988880052122007-08-30T16:29:00.000-05:002007-08-30T16:29:00.000-05:00Tim - Thanks for the tip, and the link.I have a fa...Tim - <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip, and the link.<BR/><BR/>I have a fair number of rips of Ethiopian cassettes from the '80s. Unfortunately they're all on 10" tape reels and I have no way to digitize them!<BR/><BR/>If I can get hold of a tape deck I will be posting those fantastic tracks here. The 1980s Ethiopian cassettes, recorded under the Mengistu dictatorship, represent an important "missing link" between the sounds of the 60s-early 70s (as represented in the Ethiopiques series) and the stuff that's been recorded since 1992, when Ethiopia opened up to the outside world.John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00603354267259344759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459104099060577976.post-90904946742122898492007-08-30T06:46:00.000-05:002007-08-30T06:46:00.000-05:00I know this is shameful advertising, but as an Eth...I know this is shameful advertising, but as an Ethiopiques fan I hope this is worthwhile.<BR/><BR/>Do you know about the release of 'The Very Best of the Ethiopiques' 2CD?

The previous files I assigned names, etc. through the Advanced Tags Editor on Windows Media Player while the Kine Lam files I just uploaded.<BR/><BR/>The problem with Windows Media Player is when you want to edit the tags you have to list the file in your WMP Library, look up the file all over again and THEN do your editing (curses on you, Bill Gates!) which is a huge pain in the butt.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure there is a way that you can just clip on your MP3 file & edit the tag info with having to go through all this. Can someone tell me how to do this? Is there a utility or something?John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00603354267259344759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459104099060577976.post-13715156068584094412007-08-27T16:22:00.000-05:002007-08-27T16:22:00.000-05:00Comb-You know what, I just checked, and all of the...Comb-<BR/><BR/>You know what, I just checked, and all of the Kine Lam clips down load with the names interspersed with %, while the earlier MP3s all download as proper names.<BR/><BR/>It must be the way I uploaded them; I can't tell you what I did different. I'm just getting the hang of this domain name business - It takes a little more technical skill than using DivShare, although the results are MUCH better!<BR/><BR/>All I can tell you for now is: When you right-click on the link to "Save file as ..." just make sure the name in the destination folder is something you'd recognize later... type out your own file name if need be.John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00603354267259344759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459104099060577976.post-14472697798708956512007-08-27T15:55:00.000-05:002007-08-27T15:55:00.000-05:00John , I replied to you few days ago, check commen...John , I replied to you few days ago, check comments below(the angola section)<BR/>Cheers.
