    Hey there. This blog is amazing! I spent all of last night downloading a wide selection of stuff from here and it’s all so good! Any chance you could post that Hip-Dia tape you mentioned awhile back?

    got some wicked tapes for you — from Kidal! if you want anything else from Mauritania, let me know, I’ll be back in Brooklyn in two weeks, inchallah. We’ll have to meet. Cheers,

    Great finds! You should try packaging the tapes in full to make it easier on us, your readers

    Nice Tape – especially my little daughter (15 months old loves it!!!), might be the animals you can hear on the tape – thank you for ripping it.

    Where can I find Shumba Ratshega’s material? Apparently he has 4 or 5 other albums according to articles on the web, but for years I haven’t been able to find anything but the Makhirikhiri album.
