Oum Kalthum..."Ghanna Rabi'bi-Lisan at-Tayr"...El Sett...(Buda Musique)
Najla..."Bint il Neel"...ReOrientalism cast recording...(Center for Cultural
"Bint il Neel" is a poem by Suheir Hammad, a friend of mine, and it is in tribute to great Egyptian diva Oum Kalthoum.

Oum Kalthum..."Kayfa Marat ala Hawaka al Kouloub"...El Sett...(Buda Musique)

Bnet Marrakech..."Leilaa Lill"...Chama'a...(L'Empreinte Digitale)
An all-female group from Morocco and very highly rated.
And I played this one by their countrymen Nass El-Ghiwane just because I've been listening and feeling them lately.
Nass El-Ghiwane..."Min Zine Mdihak"...
Thanks to Jaleel for all the tunes from these Moroccan Rollers.
Mutamassik..."Raks Sharqi Scratch"...Complete Works...(Sound-Ink)
Alice Coltrane..."Stopover Bombay"...Journey in Satchidananda...(Impulse!)
Last Poets..."Black Rage"...Holy Terror...(RykoDisk)
This pair is for Suheir. I love the original tune by Mrs Coltrane and I find the poem to be quite inspiring, as well as sampling Alice.

Sabu Martinez..."Oh! Min Dara!!!"...The Dalacarlia Recordings...(Mellotronen)
Totó la Mompasina y sus Tambores..."El Pescador"...La Candela Viva...(Real World)
Ocote Soul Sounds & Adrian Quesada..."El Pescador"...The Alchemist Manifesto...(ESL)
Two amazing versions.

The Alchemystics..."Type a Prayer"...single...(North Fire)
The Alchemystics..."Peace of Dub"...single...(North Fire)
Or, as J from the Alchemystics calls it, "Pizza Dub". Thanks to J and Jimbo for coming down to promote Limbo Fest 2010.
Sandra Isadore & Fela's Afrika 70..."Upside Down"...Upside Down...(Celluloid)
The feminine voice of Fela.
Grupo Fantasma..."El Consejo"...El Existential...(Nat Geo)
Grupo Fantasma..."Naci de La (Rumba y Guaguanco)...Sonidos Gold...(AireSol)
A brand new cut paired with a true classic for the Rumba Psicodelica set.
Celia Cruz..."Elegua" (Jose Marquez rmx)...digi...(Serenity in Sound)
Gaia Roots..."Cuba Linda"...MotherDrum...(Gaia Roots)
These two worked well together. Jose Marquez is a tasteful remixer while Shanti's Gaia Roots work with traditional rhythms. Check Gaia Roots this Saturday at Bishop's Lounge, 9 pm for a soft CD release party.
Oumou Sangaré..."Wele Wele Wintou"...Seya...(World Circuit)

Googoush..."Bemoun to Bemounam"...v/a-Pomegranates...(Finders Keepers)
Thanks to Finders Keepers for sending out the good jams.

Lyn Collins..."Think (About It)"...Think...(People)
Sharon Jones & Lee Fields..."Stranded in your Love"...v/a-Daptone Gold...(Daptone)
We end with a another male/female dialogue that I would believe to be resolved well between the two characters.
