***************************************************DETAILS ABOUT ITEM**********************************************
AN OUTSTANDING 2 LP BOX SET COMPILED BY HAROLD COURLANDER, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT NAMES IN THE FEILD OF AFRICAN TRADITIONAL MUSIC RECORDING AND WRITING.  A COMPREHENSIVE AND INTERESTING SURVAY WITH MANY OUTSTANDING RECORDINGS.  MY FAVORITE BEING THE PENDE XYLOPHONE TRACK.  A VERY CAOTIC PERFORMANCE WHERE SO MANY SCALES AND RHYEMS SEEM TO BE COMPETING WITH ONE ANOTHER ITS HARD TO IMAGINE ANY COHESION MANAGES TO PERSIST THROUGHOUT, BUT IT DOES.  THIS SET ALSO INCLUDES A PERFORMANCE ON THE WOLOF HALAM.  THIS SOLO INSTRUMENTAL ON THIS (WOLOF) FORM OF AFRICAN GUITAR IS OF PARTICULAR BEAUTY.  A STRANG TEMPO SETS THE PERFORMANCE ALIVE ONLY TO BE FURTHERED BY SOPHISTICATED AND COMPLICATED PICKING.
A NICE HEAVY VINYL SET WITH THE CHARMING FOLKWAYS PACKAGING.  INCLUDES BOOKLET
