Ample jazz from all over the planet. Lots of fusions. And a FULL PLAY of Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) / Africa - Tears And Laughter.
Plenty of jazzy / fusiony sounds from all over the pan-galactic musical map today! Including a full play of Abdullah Ibrahim / Africa - Tears and Laughter. A good sample of a terrific Ethoi-Jazz comp. Piles of fusions. New stuff. And much more. Enjoy!
DO hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!!

| Starting off with a pile of Ethio-Jazz. Mostly from a terrific compilation from World Music Network (newly acquired for me). Just really hard to go wrong with the Rough Guide series. |
