    I've just discovered this wonderful site, where I got volumes 1,2, & 4 of "African Divas." Listening to these recordings, I knew pretty quick that these would be among my favorite and most durable sound collections ever. What I mean is, I will be listening to these African divas for the rest of my life. I can't wait to hear your many other offerings, however, I have a request. I feel bad even asking, but what can I do? I'm possessed!!!

    Any chance you could make "African Divas Vol. 3" available once again? I just came to the party too late to snag it, and it will be a source of pain and sadness forever until I do. Thank you so much. Stay safe. Be well. Keep 'em coming!!!

    Hi Dolmance,

    I've been meaning to put Vol. 3 online again (I didn't compile that one) but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Be patient!

    Hi John B.
    Yes, that page (Malagasy-Divas-2) was the first page I found on your site. And I snatched those up quick too. The very first items I got here, so thank you! But I still want African Divas Vol. 3. My God, these comprise a great collection. I will listen to them forever.
