About this product
The Aka Pygmies are known as one of the oldest populations on the African continent, occupying parts of the Central African Republic and the Republic of the Congo. Music is a key element of the social and spiritual life of the community, and each person is introduced to musical practice at an early age with counting rhymes and singing games. Since the Aka lead a semi-nomadic lifestyle, music is usually only vocals, leading to a complex polyphonic system with rich harmonies from a chorus. Any accompanying instruments-small drums, iron blades, plant stalk whistles-are easy to carry, used for other daily purposes, or immediately discarded. This recording was annotated, compiled, and produced by Simha Arom, who is considered a world expert on Central African music. In addition to this album, Arom's recordings are featured on more than a dozen other albums in the UNESCO Collection of Traditional Music, including Greece Vocal Monodies and Benin Bariba and Somba Music.

US only 180-gram hq vinyl! Remastered from the original analog tapes. Highlights include 'Thunderbird', 'Balinese' and their all-time classic 'Tush'. One of the world's greatest Rock N' Roll bands ever to strut the 50 States, these sharp-dressed Texas titans, Billy F Gibbons, Frank Beard, and Dusty Hill, are a righteously hell raisin' power trio boasting a 30-plus year hit-making legacy, both in the studio and at concert arenas. With their revved up Blues 'n' Boogie, they always make the most of their Texas birthright with a distinctive sound that shakes up Rock, Blues, Soul, Garage-Funk, Americana, and more. Nowhere is their force of nature musicianship better displayed than on this classic featuring both live and studio tracks.13 tracks. Album Tracks 1. Thunderbird 2. Jailhouse Rock 3.
