Show Notes: One of my revelations this week was the voice of Vusi Mahlesela from South Africa. Sitting down to do a review of his new CD The Voice, I didn't want to think about dissecting the music with words; it's just beautiful. I opened and closed with his voice this week. Doing research for this week's theme, I found a paucity of East African CDs in my library as well as at KAOS. I'll be working to remedy that, though I was able to put together more than an hour of great music, including some produced by Rosa Tyabji of Limitless Sky Records, who shared some of her musical and cultural knowledge with us this week. Rosa told me off-mic that she's hoping to get some of the Limitless Sky artists to the US on tour in the future. I'll be looking to get them into the KAOS studio for some music. Stay tuned.
KKUP: Echoes of Africa: Radio Interview - 2003
CONVERSATION WITH MICHEL & ROSA TYABJI
For the past five years the best recording studio in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, has been Makuti Studio. The acoustics sound natural, the equipment is up to the task, and musicians work there with confidence that their art is respected and their rights are protected. Much good music has been made there, including many recordings for the Tanzanian National Arts Council's archive of traditional music. Michel and Rosa Tyabji producers and founders of Limitless Sky Records are instrumental in the revival of Tanzania traditional and popular dance music. The music of Tanzania has been absent in the international music market for two decades Limitless Sky Records was established to release and promote the music of this east African country.
At Echoes Of Africa we were honored to have these two producers as guests on the show.
