Dagara - Gyil Music Of Ghana's Upper We...e Of Lawra
This is now #1 in my 2021 chart, topping Parrenin. Mindblowing stuff from Ghana on the gyil, an instrument I'd never heard about before. Trancey af. Hayden, you might like this, and I can imagine a bunch of BEAers might as well (Repo ?)

In the queue. Once... I can find it.
In other news, don't miss the new Portico Quartet.

Thanks Tap Should be able to give it a spin later today.

That's quite the instrument to have (sold at some point or not). Not something you come across every day.

Should add that there's a 2004 balafon record from Kélétigui Diabaté that sits on my Africa chart. Sandiya. I can't think of any reason not to give it a rec if you enjoyed Dagara. I imagine they'll be somewhat similar. (Once again, will give it a listen in a sec ).

for sure. i found it at a fair trade store a block away from a jewelry store i worked at in college. i recorded a little loop on it before selling it off, but it's nothing to write home about. if i ever find myself in that part of the world, i'm going to make sure and buy a couple and maybe try to find someone who can show me the ropes. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.

On the chart it goes.
Definitely a bit dizzying (in a good way). Whole bunch of sounds/rhythms/melodies laying overtop eachother considering it's one instrument. Wonder how many mics they had on it. Gave it a listen with headphones and it almost sounded like it was being played in front of me.

Well jeez, that's not too shabby. Wish you did a bit more. Had a decent sound to it. Hoping you pick another one up one day . I'm sure there would be a whole handful of instruments I'd want to shop around for in west Africa, but I truly fear customs and the handling there of. Think I'd be happy picking up something like a shekere in the west and a mbira in the east. If I ever hop on over to India, I think I might make the exception in grabbing a (decent) sitar though (and... maybe a lesson or two ... especially considering I'd probably never be able to wrap my head around notation which reads out like 'S g M P D G N d').

Blue Weekend by Wolf Alice
Best album of the week. Incredible follow-up to Visions of a Life. The album is a beautiful and anguished listen that dives into concept/narrative territory, following the arc of Rowsell's relationship/breakup/self-discovery.
