That album cover is almost as hot as "Spirits Up Above." There is a lot of soul in this music.
you think "world music" is bad?
i once described them to a friend as "a shitty cymande" i know, theyre hardly shitty, but i really love cymande.
Yeah G, one of my favourite album covers - can't mess with a flying elephant.
Studentloner, no i don't think 'world music' is bad at all, what turns my stomach is that the term covers such a wide range of genres and styles that it's totally meaningless. It's also a pretty dismissive term to encapsulate about 60% of the music produced globally.
Cymande are awesome but I think Osibisa bring their own qualities to the table, particularly in their earlier releases.
Awesome tunes as always, but doesn't "Spirits Up Above" seem to cut off early? Any chance of a repost?
Yeah you're right Matt, seems it cut off due to server space. Have cleaned out the archives and uploaded it again - should be there in all it's seven minute glory now.
No kidding... I tried to get O-dub to post about them a long while ago. They are solid as hell. Flllllyyyyyy awaaaaay... that is my shit.
