Lipa kodi ya - City Council FIRST PRESSING - BEAUTIFUL SILKSCREEN COVER PASTED ON OLD RECORD
"Where do Mississippi records manage to find these records? We're frankly left confounded and confused, but it has within only a few months become one of our very favourite labels and whenever a new release comes out we just have absolutely no idea what to expect. Within only a handful of releases the label has covered more genres than many labels cover in their entire lifetime and this latest LP takes their reach further yet, heading out all the way to Africa. As usual there is little or no information online about the record, but what we are told (from the back cover) is that this is a collection of African music recorded between 1967 & 1972, and all of it is rare as hens teeth, no doubt unheard by most of the known world. We've got all sorts of styles covered too, from Zambia, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Somalia and Uganda, we're treated to funk, R+B, pop, juju and choral music, each track representing a different facet of the rich African culture. In fact this doesn't even feel like a compilation, rather a relic of another era. The final track on Side A sums up the record for me, sung by Yesy Ka Mkwebaze it's a choral piece and sounds something like a distant, reverberating choir of angels singing a final song before death, hopeful yet deeply melancholy. This track alone is easily worth the asking price, but bundled along with so many other treats - from Moussa Doumbi's jangling funk-rock to the deeply moving traditional music of Yaseen Mohammed & Saada this is probably Mississippi's best collection yet, and those of you who know the others will realise what a powerful statement that is to make."
RECORD AND SLEEVE ARE EXCELLENT
