Its been much too long since I have added anything (mostly due to laziness, and my computers social problmes) and I do have a great deal to share sometime soon. This should tide you all over until then.
My friend Emmanuel, of Nigeria sent me a song today to my delight, and I've got a feeling the lot of you world music listeners will enjoy it too. Of course I could be wrong. Let me know, comrades.
From the e-mail:
check out this short but great display of expertise in the use of traditional instruments like maracas, flute.guitar etc. by our own Sir Victor Uwaifo.
He is at present a Prof. at the University of Benin, Nigeria.
try saving the file before playing...cheers
i will give you a brief of what the music is talking about soon.
Of course he never did tell me what the song was about... That isn't a problem in this thread, however.

In the e-mail he asked if in return I could send tracks from Kenny Rogers and Jim Reeves, as it is very hard to find material from those artists in Nigeria. Odd, very odd.
