  Cheers bigtime. Here I was expecting something from Tanzania or Kenya and we're back in Northern Mali! I'm a bit old - I travelled extensively about the globe when I was younger doing geophysicsl survey work and ground truthing the transition from many paper map systems to WGS84. Africa has some fantastic musicians. All I can offer in return is some Australians and their collaborations ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjDlbCfybbE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjDlbCfybbE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr3iI8gg2fo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr3iI8gg2fo English x Yolngu Matha x Bemba: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrM8Ly17lw4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrM8Ly17lw4 Why not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTmGpJJsQEU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTmGpJJsQEU

    Haha! I thought we were just trading desert blues today. Here's some Kenyan fare for you, an odd mix of things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ig9DHit6K8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ig9DHit6K8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or2sMfOcTtw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or2sMfOcTtw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb0k0LuJFw8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb0k0LuJFw8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlMw5uOFyaU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlMw5uOFyaU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Jwf-Y1uww https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Jwf-Y1uww Tjamuku Ngurra is beautiful. I don't think I've listened to Aboriginal fusion (there's all sorts of interesting things happening there) before. My consumption of Australian music has mostly been limited to Tame Impala, whom I love, but this is special. Thank you so much for sharing.

      There's some gorgeous music there, thank-you. Australian music is surprisingly broad for such a small (population wise, physically it's the same land area as mainland USofA (and together the US + Australia are less than the area of Africa ..)) .. "aboriginal fusion" (that works) is also broader than many might imagine.
