Gogo Penguin.
Had this on repeat over the weekend. Stunningly good.

Bowes and Morley. 2002 CD. Excellent album released when Thunder was being rested. A bit less Rock, a bit more Soul.

The harpist Catrin Finch and kora player Seckou Keita have released two albums previously. This one, to be released at the end of May, completes the trilogy, and very lovely it is.

More Adrian Younge/American Negro

cf. the subtitle to Duke Ellington’s Black, Brown & Beige.

(Though it does sound better at the intended 45rpm, than the 33rpm I started out with!).
