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?
Nice one. I’ll bet “AIDS” is a hot jam. Thanks for posting.

coixt records: most awkward comment ever?
That’s a great collection man. So cool.
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,

Just graceful mate
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.
