Valley Ramblers - Strictly Bluegrass - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Kora player, singer and songwriter Zal Sissokho was born in Senegal and arrived in Montreal in 1999. His new album, Kora Flamenca, is the fruit of a musical project that he has nurtured over a long period of time. The idea was born during a trip to Seville, when Zal first became interested in the sounds of flamenco. He was fascinated by the playing techniques of the musicians he met in Andalusia, and became set on creating music that would combine flamenco with the Mandinka culture of his native West Africa. Zal Sissokho has recorded several albums and performed on stage, both as a soloist and with other artists such as Les frères Diouf, Celso Machado, Constantinople, Fakhass Sico, Lilison di Kinara and Richard Séguin.

Jalyn Records is back! The Dayton, Ohio tag from the creative mind of bluegrass legend Jack Lynch originally ran from the early '60s through the late '70s. Working out of his apartment on Brown Street, Lynch turned out a steady run of hard-driving bluegrass, country, and gospel sides cut by local pickers and big names alike, including Ralph Stanley and Don Reno. Decades on, these records are now lovingly remastered for modern ears and available on CD for the first time. On this album, The Valley Ramblers bring a fresh, heartfelt energy to this collection of traditional and original songs - showcasing their passion for sharing God's message and their sincere commitment to their faith and their music. Rooted in tradition, this album honors the timeless spirit of gospel with intimate harmonies and sparse instrumentation, inviting listeners into a world where faith, family, and the land are woven together in every note.

The Nether Dawn is Antony Milton who is one of New Zealand's leading figures of new experimental drone and folk music. InchWell SongInch was recorded in the dim light of an underground abandoned bunker. InchThe bunker is a beautiful and lonely spot with a spectacular view that encompasses much of the southern reaches of the North Island. But what draws me back, laden down with acoustic and battery operated instruments, is the rich resonant acoustic properties of these man made caves. One cannot help but sing in such a place.Inch - Antony Milton.
