His specific voice, impossible not to recognise, left no one unmoved (ask those who listened to the compilation Aalp078).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMack-Joss’s retirement in 1996 marked the end of Orchestre Massako.

The family had heard some mention of their mom as a singer at the time, but the extent of her legacy and the many songs she had recorded came as a big surprise. Further investigations soon led Hannah to producer Mark Gergis, compiler of Saigon Rock and Soul (2010, Sublime Frequencies), enlisting him to join her on a journey of discovery and recovery. The result is this essential document of Phuong Tam’s brief but prolific career, and at the same time, reuniting the long-lost music with its singer. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe unique strengths and qualities of Phương Tâm’s voice, coupled with her commanding stage presence, had swiftly elevated her to top billings on Saigon’s nightclub stages. Parallel to the brutality and uncertainty of an already protracted war, South Vietnam’s music and recording industry were developing at a rapid pace in the early 1960s. Globally, musical trends with wild, ephemeral dance crazes were being thought up weekly; the twist, hully gully, the mashed potato – none of them a problem for Phương Tâm. She soon caught the attention of Saigon’s leading recording companies and composers (Y Vân, Khánh Băng, Trường Hải, Thanh Sơn, Y Vũ and Mặc Thế Nhân, among others). Her energy translated unsurprisingly well in the studio, backed by electric guitars, contrabass, drums, lush brass sections, saxophone, piano, organ and rich backing vocals. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBetween 1964-1966, Phương Tâm would record almost 30 known tracks, released by the three main record companies in Saigon. The teenage starlet became a vital centerpiece of pop music of the time, and one of the very first singers to perform and record rock and roll (known locally as nhạc kích động, or, action music) – though as you’ll hear, she could also transform a jazz ballad into something otherworldly. While these musical styles were undeniably influenced by contemporary trends worldwide, the musicians and composers worked to localize the sounds, incorporating linguistic adaptations, lyrical content and past artistic traditions into something all their own. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 1966, as Saigon’s music scene continued to evolve and escalate, Phương Tâm walked away from her singing career without looking back – marrying the man she loved and beginning the next rich chapter of her life. But her recorded output had laid the stylistic groundwork for the following generations of singers, and many of the songs she first sang would later be further popularized by others. Her impactful, but short- spanning career has seen her legacy remain historically understated until now. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDue to the lack of master tapes or documentation from pre-1975 Vietnam, and the scarcity of records and tapes that had survived the war, it was difficult to grasp the extent of Phương Tâm’s discography. A collective effort was required in sourcing materials and information to compile this record, involving key collectors and producers internationally (Jan Hagenkötter - Saigon Supersound, Cường Phạm, Adam Fargason, Khoa Hà – granddaughter of composer Y Vân, and researcher Jason Gibbs). As the veils of history were slowly lifted, the genuine thrill was witnessing Phương Tâm herself, hearing these songs for the first time in over 50 years – sometimes since the day she recorded them. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt the heart of this project is a family story – Hannah Hà’s dedication to recovering and sharing her mother’s musical legacy is helping put Phương Tâm back on center stage after 55 years. But it is also a story that adds critical context to the fragmented understanding of Vietnamese popular culture during the 20th century, particularly after so much has been lost to war and dislocation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: SF120LP\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Sublime Frequencies\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cargo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42525423796392,"sku":"SF120LP","price":41.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/products\/ScreenShot2022-07-16at11.13.14.png?v=1657966408"},{"product_id":"fela-kuti-roforofo-fight-50th-anniversary-edition-2xlp","title":"Fela Kuti ‘Roforofo Fight (50th Anniversary Edition)’ 2xLP","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy 1972, when ‘Music of Fela: Roforofo Fight’ was originally released (on two vinyl albums, ‘Music of Fela Volume One’ and ‘Volume Two’), Fela was becoming one of the most avidly followed musicians in West Africa.

Unlike most guitarists from the region, Ondolo used open tuning (a favourite of American blues guitarists), creating a hypnotic drone over which he laid down endless rhythmic variations on his main themes. Inspired by the exploding pop music scene in Nairobi, the newest rock and roll imports from the US, and the Abakuria tribal music of his youth, Ondolo transposed traditional instruments and rhythms to his guitar, playing it more like a traditional harp at times, and inventing a sound totally unique in the recorded history of African guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis album brings together John Ondolo's rare early 78rpm recordings in the first-ever overview of this innovative but overlooked artist. The music traces Ondolo's creative output, from the resonant acoustic guitar masterpiece Tumshukuru Mungu to the relentless guitar and flute (!) interplay of Kenya Style to his later electric guitar, bass, and drum recordings with the Jolly Trio, all tied together by Ondolo's unique rhythmic sense and vocal style. The breadth and variety of Ondolo's recordings may be a result of his sporadic recording history.

As a continuation of those mixtapes, we present the Niger EPs, which examine the roots of the Mdou Moctar band. Early Mdou recordings were contained on cassettes, though the humble tape was soon replaced by the quick and easy facility of cellphone technology. Long bus rides are common in West Africa. On one of these rides, you might be seated next to a stranger and ask, \"What are you listening to?\" Then a song exchange would begin over Bluetooth. This is a very real way artists found their music distributed far from home. In that vein, the Niger EP series features solely recordings taped in Mdou Moctar's home country of Niger. Volume 1 begin the series with a mix of recordings from 2017-2020, documenting the band at weddings, picnics, rehearsals, and even impromptu house concerts.

With the arrival of electricity, a new generation of young musicians started plugging in their guitars and trading in their accordions for synthesizers: Amazonian cumbia was born. Powered by fast-paced timbale rhythms, driven by spidery, treble-damaged guitar lines, and drenched in bright splashes of organ, Amazonian cumbia was like a hyperactive distant cousin of surf music crossed with an all-night dance party in the heart of the forest. While many of the genre's greatest tracks were instrumental, and others were simple celebrations of life in the jungle, the goal of every song was to keep the party going. Radio stations in Lima remained unaware of the new electric sounds emanating from the jungle, but a handful of pioneering record producers ventured over the mountain passes to the cities of Tarapoto, Moyobamba, Pucallpa – even Iquitos, a city reachable only by boat or plane – and lured dozens of bands to the recording studios of the capital to lay down their best tracks. Although many became local hits, few were ever heard outside the Amazonian region … until now. With eighteen tracks from some of the greatest names in Amazonian cumbia, Perú Selvatico is both the improbable soundtrack to a beach party on a banks of the Amazon and a psychedelic safari into the sylvan mysteries of the Peruvian jungle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Analog Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Proper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43074305622184,"sku":"AALP096","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/products\/ScreenShot2023-01-10at11.48.45.png?v=1673351343"},{"product_id":"wicth-waile-7","title":"Wicth 'Waile' 7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-UMyrj ivAgLv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-gKclnd sc-gpcHMt bgmYbB kBriEw\" data-testid=\"description-product\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sc-dZpvmy DdcGV\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Waile was one of the songs that I brought to the Witch when I joined in 1978.

During his triumphant career he accumulated an impressive musical portfolio. A true maestro who from the 1950s onwards appeared on productions as a guitarist, writer, conductor, composer, and arranger.

It is Brazilian big band, orchestrated jazz-funk at its finest. Echoing the library and film productions created in Europe and the USA at the time, it also displays the hallmarks of Waltel's heritage with distinct threads of Brazilian flavour running throughout. The musicians on the record include under-the-radar players that were the backbone of the Brazilian music industry in the 1970s including Luizão Maia on bass, Edmundo Maciel on trombone and Paulinho Braga on drums. The album flirts between jazz-funk, cinematic library excursions, breaks and beats, easy-listening, and 70s cop show instrumentals. It is a breezy ride into Waltel's world, wonderfully nostalgic and of another time and place, yet snippets of the production echo the beats of contemporary hip-hop iconic artists such as Madlib, knxwledge and The Alchemist.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: \u003cspan class=\"sc-fXNlap dhlTlI\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sc-fBNLhH hyxEau\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMRBLP266\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Mr Bongo\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Proper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43267418882216,"sku":"MRBLP266","price":21.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/products\/ScreenShot2023-03-13at11.23.55.png?v=1678706701"},{"product_id":"various-tudo-ben-jorge-ben-covered-lp","title":"Various 'Tudo Ben - Jorge Ben Covered' LP","description":"\u003cspan class=\"sc-dZpvmy DdcGV\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-UMyrj ivAgLv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"description-product\" class=\"sc-gKclnd sc-gpcHMt bgmYbB kBriEw\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-UMyrj ivAgLv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"description-product\" class=\"sc-gKclnd sc-gpcHMt bgmYbB kBriEw\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJorge Ben is surely one of the world's greatest all-round musical artists.

Now a proud 85 years of age and enjoying retirement in America, Remi was the cornerstone of British West African music in the 50s, 60s and 70s, along with Ginger Oloronso Johnson, Fela Kuti and others. But while Ginger played mambo and cha cha cha in Soho clubland and Fela released his early 'highlife jazz' records on the Melodisc label, Remi Kabaka was fully ensconced in the UK Rock world, playing sessions and live shows with The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood and countless others. As the 60s became the 70s, Kabaka developed yet another string to his bow: the development of a UK based West African Funk scene, that found its genesis in the legendary Osibisa, but with an influence and an inspiration that spilled over into every contemporary Brit Funk band from Cymande and the Equals to The Average White Band, Matata and beyond. SON OF AFRICA was originally released by Chris Blackwell's Island records in 1976, to little acclaim, very few reviews, and with almost no promotion. African music was a hard sell when the 70s Black British record market wanted reggae first and foremost, and with Bob Marley on the books, Island understandably had other priorities at the time. The record disappeared. Until it reappeared in the early 2000s, as a ?700-plus collectors' item. It's barely 30 minutes long. But every single minute is drenched with sinuous, spare funk: no spacey psych rock, no disco, no boogie, no over-the-top production: just 90-110 BPM grooves that go straight to the body. So: whether you're a turntablist, a hip hop sampler, or just an honest-to-goodness African Funk lover, catch this limited reissue (with full, updated liner notes) while you can. There won't be another chance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"sc-iyyVIK igFfvk\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"sc-domHDO jZzKeh\"\u003eBBE727ALP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: BBE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Essential","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43470107213992,"sku":"BBE727ALP","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/products\/ScreenShot2023-04-10at12.18.59.png?v=1681125555"},{"product_id":"fela-kuti-gentleman-50th-anniversary-edition-lp","title":"Fela Kuti 'Gentleman (50th Anniversary Edition)' LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited edition 'Igbo Smoke' vinyl (clear with a black wisp).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFela Kuti (1938-1997) was a Nigerian musician, producer, arranger, political radical, outlaw and the originator of Afrobeat.

Gentleman's other tracks, \"\"Fefe Naa Efe\"\" and \"\"Igbe,” have more direct, less metaphorical lyrics. On \"\"Fefe Naa Efe,” an Ashanti motto from Ghana, Fela tells a woman dumped by her boyfriend that she must get over the heartache and move on. On \"\"Igbe”, Fela declares that anyone who betrays a friend is shit, and that anybody who lacks self-respect is shit - something you want to expel from your body as soon as possible.

The band was formed under the name ‘The Cannibals’ during the 1970s when Phiri got together with drummer Isaac Mtshali, keyboard player Thabo Lloyd Lelosa and bass player Jabu Sibumbe. They initially started out as instrumentalists, but later evolved to Afro-fusion when they joined forces with vocalist Jacob “Mparanyana” Radebe in 1975. The story of ‘The Cannibals’ ends when Radebe died in 1978 but the ‘Stimela’ story was only just beginning. In 1979, after a life-changing experience in Mozambique (where they were stranded for three months) the band members had to sell all their belongings to take a train home. This trip was a watershed moment as it was here where they conceived the new name for the band: The Zulu word for “locomotive-train” Stimela. Stimela would soon become little short of an institution in their home country of South Africa. With soulful tunes and gripping lyrics, the band has recorded platinum-winning albums such as Fire, Passion and Ecstasy, Shadows, Fear and Pain \u0026amp; Look Listen and Decide. In addition to recording their own material, the group supplied instrumental accompaniment on albums by a lengthy list of legendary artists. Stimela would go on to gain global fame after being featured on Paul Simon’s iconic 1986 ‘Graceland’ album and the mega tour that followed. Ray Phiri would enter into many successful collaborations with major acts and artists such as Harari, Joan Baez, Willie Nelson and Manu Dibango.

(We won’t even mention the old sound of the Venezuelan Gozadera). Party music hasn’t sounded this chic since Chic. “The Gozadera, more than a musical style, is a concept allowing us to use whatever music we enjoy and mix it up,” says guitarist Jose Luis Pardo. “Like boogaloo, salsa, bossa nova, funk, disco, house, techno, jungle, merengue, New Wave, cha-cha-cha, mambo, and of course Acid Jazz.” And who better to pull this off than producer Andres Levin (Aterciopelados, Chaka Khan, La Portuaria, La Secta, El Gran Silencio, David Byrne, Arto Lindsay, and many more) along with engineer Fernando Aponte (Masters at Work, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Deee-Lite, Towa Tei)?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"t-p2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis, their second album, finds the young Venezuelans stepping out from under the shadow of the Rock en Español moniker and giving it a much needed face-lift. “We are a rock band that does not just play just rock music,” says singer Jose Briceño. The 19 tracks on the album combine keyboard driven dance-rock with elements of Latin music worked in. Whether it’s the funked out bliss of “Sexy,” the mambo lounge of “Mango Cool,” or the trip-hop ecstasy of “Otra Vez” (on which Arto Lindsay contributes a bit of distorted 12-string electric guitar), Los Amigos Invisibles have created the perfect party album. Their lyrics tell stories inspired by real-life experiences of love (sex), relationships (sex), and more often then not, the taboos that accompany each (sleazy sex).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"t-p2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormed in 1991 as part of Caracas’ mobile party scene, the six members of Los Amigos Invisibles quickly developed their unique sound by blending all styles of Latin music with modern beats. Their influences are vast, incorporating the space-age sounds of Esquivel, the whacked-out funk of Parliament, and the beat-friendly Brand New Heavies and Jamiroquai. “We began making music influenced by the development of the acid-jazz scene and the dance music coming out of London,” says Jose Luis, “but when it came down to playing it, we realized that our culture and environment kept creeping into our music. The tunes that are played over the radio at the corner shop or that we whistle along with from the bodega are songs that interest us… that music is part of our people and that makes it part of us. All we want to do is have fun and make fun of it all at the same time.” Their first album, A Typical \u0026amp; Autoctonal Venezuelan Dance Band, was released in 1996 and received Best Band, Record of the Year and Best Guitarist awards in the Venezuelan Rock Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: LPLBOP1030\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Luaka Bop\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ROM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43876587831464,"sku":"LPLBOP1030","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/ScreenShot2023-06-07at11.58.51.png?v=1686135549"},{"product_id":"tony-allen-adrian-younge-tony-allen-jid018-lp","title":"Tony Allen \u0026 Adrian Younge 'Tony Allen JID018' LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold vinyl.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"sc-gcVIGZ dVnFvr\"\u003eThe genius that is Tony Allen departed this mortal world in April of 2020, but not without leaving an unmatched legacy that crossed oceans and borders, bridging cultures and forging a sound that changed music.

Extensive notes by a local writer in English and French. Previously unpublished family photos. Urbanized traditional music at a dancefloor-friendly tempo. The very definition of an \"Awesome Tape From Africa\". Roger Bekono made a deep mark in the contemporary history of Cameroonian music through the four-on-the-floor, ribald intensity of bikutsi. The Ewondo-language dance-pop style that forms an undulating tapestry of interlocking triplet rhythmic interplay came to international prominence in the European \"world music\" scene as the 90s began. But the relentless sound of bikutsi developed in Yaoundé at the hands of Bekono and many others, as it developed from a village-based singing style performed mostly by women into a cosmopolitan music force that rivaled the popularity of established musics like Congolese rhumba, merengue and makossa. With his unique—some say suave—voice, Bekono contributed much over a period of more than 10 years as part of the evolution of this traditional rhythm-turned-urban dance movement. Bekono worked with legendary producer Mystic Jim, who had built a prolific home studio along with a crack team of musicians. They joined as part of the production of his self-titled album, which became known locally as \"Jolie Poupée,\" the name of the album's lead single and most popular song. For \"Jolie Poupée\" Mystic Jim programmed the kick or bass drum, adding effects to have a heavier bass. Overall the album represented a new level of finesse and professionalism for his second release. In the middle of 1989, Jolie Poupée was released by the label Inter Diffusion System and aggressively hit the radio, discos and national television. The music video for the title track was on loop on TV. It felt like everyone was talking about it, even artists in adjacent music scenes like makossa. The album came out on vinyl and cassette and remains Bekono's best-selling recording to this day. With Jolie Poupée Bekono finally made an impact outside Cameroon as the record captured listeners in some Central African countries like Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of Congo and Sao Tome \u0026amp; Principe. In these countries, we find the Fang or Mfan people (also known as Ekang), Bantu-speaking ethnic groups that are also found in Cameroon. This umbrella language group includes the language in which bikutsi is mainly sung. Most of Bekono's songs are in French, Ewondo (of which Beti is a dialect) and Pidgin. The four songs on Jolie Poupée are all considered bikutsi classics. On September 15, 2016, Bekono died of a long illness at the age of 62. In the wake of his passing the media published a wave of tributes, thanking him for what he did for Cameroonian music. He was an admired musician, songwriter and guitarist, and some of his old colleagues and some of the new generation of performers showered Bekono with vibrant tributes via social media, many of which noting something to the effect of: \"The artist dies but his works remain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Awesome Tapes From Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cargo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43924654751912,"sku":"ATFA047LP","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/Screenshot2023-06-11at19.44.34.png?v=1686509184"},{"product_id":"various-where-we-come-from-vol-1-lp","title":"Various 'Where We Come From, Vol. 1' LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003eIn March 2022, EMPIRE assembled some of Africa’s finest singers and songwriters, the musical equivalent of Ocean’s Eleven, at a writing camp in San Francisco.

You’re reminded of the feelings you had when sitting at home with a cassette player on pause trying to compile the perfect mixtape to impress the latest object of your affection, or that friend with whom you share a musical kinship and spark off each other’s latest discoveries. Hearing old tracks for the first time or diving into the most upfront selections keeps the fires burning and passions alight. Here, for volume six, Mr Bongo present recent finds and treasured classics from Brazil, Sweden, the USA, South Africa, Portugal, Japan, Trinidad and Tobago, and Canada. Included are selections by the Brazilian rising star Dora Morelenbaum as well as from heritage-Brazilian musicians and vocalists Haréton Salvanini, Copa 7, and Mirna. There’s also the wonderful Brazilian-not-Brazilian take of 'Ye Me Le' by Hazel Scott And The Braza Brasil, plus sublime gospel from the New York Community Choir. Also picked is disco and soul rarities by General Lee and Ash Soul, Inc., and for the first time on vinyl, an incredible psych-pop song by the illustrious Matthew Tavares. There are cuts from some of favourite contemporary Swedish musicians, Sven Wunder and Dina Ögon too. This compilation is packed full of gems that are plucked from differing times and spaces, but somehow all gel together beautifully. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: MRBLP270TR\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Mr Bongo\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Proper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44381265559720,"sku":"MRBLP270TR","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/ScreenShot2023-07-22at13.04.07.png?v=1690027459"},{"product_id":"nyofu-tyson-turkish-delite-turk-lokumu-lp","title":"Nyofu Tyson 'Turkish Delite Turk Lokumu' LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sc-egkQYF dKCBQF\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOfficial re-release, retrieved from original cassette tape (1988).

It was to become one of the most innovative periods in Switzerland’s modern day music history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“It was like a wild laboratory for all forms of new and strange sounds, rackets and compositional experiments,” explains writer Lurker Grand, “accompanied and inspired by cutting-edge developments in electronic musical instruments. A broad, innovative scene developed and the four different language and cultural regions of Switzerland were no longer perceived to be an obstacle. There was a curiosity for the foreign and the strange. Conflicts for freedom and free spaces took place and this was reflected in the music.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was unfiltered creativity and this free, non-commercial approach is a common denominator for the songs on this compilation. Many artists operated in their own universe; hardly any of the acts on this album actually met each other at the time. Only Liliput from Zürich achieved notable fame, building on the success of their previous incarnation as Kleenex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Swiss, some bands were based outside of the country and many brought in international elements to their music. Compiler Mehmet Aslan touches on this aspect; having grown up in Basel with Turkish heritage, he is now based in Berlin. His selection travels deep into obscure musical corners. Grand continues: “Mehmet’s selection is expansive. Christian Pfluger from Die Welttraumforscher sings about moon folklore, Jürg Nutz about a labyrinth, while Dr. Chattanooga and The Navarones found inspiration through African marabout business cards.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased as a gatefold LP and digipak CD, Senza Decoro includes two exclusive edits by Mehmet Aslan.

Following the first in a series of his classic recordings reissued in collaboration with Awesome Tapes From Africa, Mergia assembled a band and began performing live again after many years driving a cab in Washington, DC. His first show back appeared on the front page of the\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew York Times along with a stellar review and he took off from there performing his flavor of Ethiopian jazz all over the world in the years since, including Radio City Music Hall and Montreal Jazz Festival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, we have a recorded document of the keyboard player’s powerful DC-based trio—which practices each weekend in his basement—featuring Kenneth Joseph on drums and Alemseged Kebede on bass. Beautifully captured at one of their fiery live shows at the venerable Brooklyn non-profit cultural center Pioneer Works on July 1, 2016, the concert was recorded by PW staff and mixed by Ted Young with mastering by ATFA’s expert audio extraction collaborator Jessica Thompson. The performance clarifies what many people across the globe already know: in his fifth decade of music-making Hailu Mergia continues to push the boundaries of his remarkable abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMergia and his veteran band energetically and playfully unpeel layer after layer of harmonic and rhythmic interest out of a spectrum of Ethiopian repertoire. Modern jazz demands constant reinvention and improvisation, night after night creating new works out of known modes and classic standards. This band is unstoppable when it comes to turning age-old melodies (like “Tizita” or “Anchihoye Lene”) upside down and inside out until they emerge as molten new works, often spontaneously. Mergia’s original compositions (like “Yegle Nesh”) shine brighter than ever here as well.

It subtly and covertly flirts with disco, jazz-funk, and electronic sounds coming from the US and Europe. It is probably best known for the space funk, bubbly club cut 'Paco La Calle'. A track that was edited in 2008 by the fantastic DJ \/ producer, Nick the Record, and one that is guaranteed to set a discerning dancefloor alight. However, \u003ci\u003eYoyi\u003c\/i\u003e is far from a one- track album. Other highlights include, 'Banana', with its call and response trombone and horn section, squelchy keys, pulsating breaks and percussion, and a loose, floating vocal arrangement. 'Tu No Me Puedes Conquistar' is a beautiful, bouncing plodder with a variety of instruments interchanging as the track progresses.

For those uninitiated on the glory of Panbers, consider this compilation an introduction to some of the earliest and heaviest rock sounds to come out of Indonesia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pandjaitan Brothers or Panbers came from the North Sumatra minority Christian group, the Bataks, whose ancestry traces back to an island at the center of Lake Toba. As a minority group within Indonesia's Muslim-dominated society, this ethnic minority has produced top military generals, celebrity lawyers, and a legion of pop and rock superstars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuffice to say, some of the biggest names in the country's pop history were Bataks. Panbers fit the bill perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band's strong Christianity belief looms heavily in the music they produce. The prominent use of the Hammond organ in their early materials is evocative of church music the band members have been around in their whole life. Bandleader Benny Pandjaitan's fills his characteristic wail with existential dread, with many utterances of the word \"mengapa\" (why).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuilt is another central theme Pandjaitan repeatedly comes back to in his lyrics. But they balance it with joy, on songs such as \"Come on You Dance\" \"Let's Dance Together\" or \"Haai\" (a play on the word high), where references to recreational substances are plentiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough they modeled themselves after the era's rock bands Beatles and fellow countrymen Koes Plus, Panbers had a unique aversion to the electric guitar. In \"Jakarta City Sound,\" a fiery three-note guitar solo is laid so far down in the mix that they are barely audible. In \"Haai\" they modify the guitar to sound like a jungle instrument playing traditional North Sumatran music. In \"Rock and the Sea,\" arguably their most well-known song globally, they decided to ditch electric guitar altogether and replace it with a sitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the absence of an electric guitar, Panbers had to rely on Doan's inventive bass playing and Asido's drum works to do the heavy lifting - and boy, do they deliver (Their 1971 debut \"Volume 1\" saw plenty of drum breaks).

So did the B-side, “Mattress,” though for different reasons. In the song, Fela likens a woman’s role to that of a mattress, there to support and comfort her man. Fela’s espousal of traditional gender roles, and his approval of polygamy, struck a discordant note with some listeners, who accused him of being “anti women.” Fela was Fela and a man of his time, but he was never hostile to women. As he often acknowledged, his two greatest political influences were women: his mother, who had been an early champion of women’s rights in Nigeria, and Sandra Izsadore, the black-rights activist he began a relationship with in the US in 1969. Each opened his mind, between them turning a playboy into a political revolutionary.\u003cbr\u003e First re-issued as part of Fela Kuti Box Set #5 curated by Chris Martin \u0026amp; Femi Kuti in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKFR2019-3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Knitting Factory\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PIAS \/ Cinram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46076413051048,"sku":"KFR2019","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/FELA_Box-Set-5_NFVM_3000x3000_300dpi.jpg?v=1702896371"},{"product_id":"fela-kuti-kalakuta-show-lp","title":"Fela Kuti  'Kalakuta Show' LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressed on opaque blue vinyl.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fela tells the story of the first large-scale police attack on Kalakuta Republic, on 23 November 1974. Following the drug squad raids in the spring that year (documented on the earlier albums Alagbon Close and Expensive Shit), Fela had erected a ten foot high barbed wire fence around the compound and stationed guards at the gate. “There had been so many raids,” he said years later. “You can’t count how many times they beat my people, in my house, on the street.” The defences were insufficient to repel a force of around 70 police armed with tear gas, machetes, wire cutters and axes. On the pretext of searching for a young woman who it was falsely (and quite ludicrously) alleged Fela had abducted, they stormed the compound. After throwing gas canisters into the buildings, forcing the occupants to exit, they set about anyone they could catch, beating men and women alike. \u003cbr\u003e First re-issued as part of Fela Kuti Box Set #5 curated by Chris Martin \u0026amp; Femi Kuti in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKFR2020-3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Knitting Factory\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PIAS \/ Cinram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46076421537960,"sku":"KFR2020","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/ScreenShot2023-12-18at10.47.24.png?v=1702896458"},{"product_id":"fabiano-do-nascimento-sam-gendel-the-room-lp","title":"Fabiano do Nascimento \u0026 Sam Gendel ‘The Room’ LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fnLEGM qVhWi\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-gsFSXq sc-kSRfVL beyRpH iPPNnA\" data-testid=\"description-product\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Room\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of folkloric pieces from various regions around South America, as interpreted by Fabiano do Nascimento and Sam Gendel, on 7-string nylon guitar and soprano saxophone, respectively.

Eager to sound as American as possible with no hint of the fervor for afro-beat, afro-rock and afrocentric thinking that the 1970s had thrown up, a new generation of young artists and performers turned their backs on their cultural roots in music and sought a new kind of stardom and fame firmly connected to the glossy, snazzy world of the 1980s that was erupting in the USA and Europe.The 1970s flares and cuban heels began to disappear, in their place came sleek suits, rolled-up sleeves, bow-ties, jumpsuits, leather jackets, greased hair and a firm nod in the stylistic direction of Michael Jackson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTriple Vinyl in Gatefold Sleeve with Download, bonus 7\" and Large 8 Page Booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"sc-hdFWlR bBNwmJ\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"sc-cJbhSk djkSQ\"\u003eSNDWLP087\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Soundway\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Proper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46424564072616,"sku":"SNDWLP087","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/ScreenShot2024-01-17at11.59.03.png?v=1705492757"},{"product_id":"grupo-irakere-grupo-irakere-lp","title":"Grupo Irakere 'Grupo Irakere' LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eEbqID kaWCzz\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-gsFSXq sc-bwGlVi beyRpH ZMzJn\" data-testid=\"description-product\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the second instalment in our Cuban Classics series, we proudly present this sought-after slice of sublime Afro-Cuban jazz from 1976.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes courtesy of one of Cuba's most influential acts, Grupo Irakere.

These are high energy events – amps are dialed up to 11 and the whole town is invited to attend. \"I grew up in the DC punk scene and this is no different,\" explains Coltun. \"It’s a DIY punk show: people bring generators, they crank their amps. Things are broken, but they make it work.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eConveying that energy and feeling of community to a new audience has been an important goal for the band. Their first concerts in the US were sometimes, mistakenly, organized to be tame seated affairs. That’s no longer the case. Over 100s of shows, they’ve proven themselves as one of the world’s most vital rock bands – a group rooted in Tuareg tradition, but undeniably its own singular organism. An Mdou Moctar concert is now recognized to be a place for dancing, if not full-force moshing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"‘Ilana’ was the gateway album, saying that this is a raw rock band. And ‘Afrique Victime’ was a summation of that vision,” says Coltun, who recorded the entire record over five days in a mostly unfurnished house in upstate New York. “With ‘Funeral For Justice’, I really wanted this to shine with the political message because of everything that's going on. As the band got tighter and heavier live, it made sense to capture this urgency and this aggression – it wasn't a forced thing, it was very natural.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn July 2023 – after ‘Funeral For Justice’ had been completed – Niger’s democratically elected government was deposed in a military coup.

Recorded in New York, the album arrived at a time when Astatke had begun to master the delicate fusion of styles needed to create Ethio jazz. “I left the UK for America and studied at Berklee College in Boston. I learnt the technical aspects of jazz and gained a beautiful understanding of many different types of music. That’s where I got my tools. Berklee really shook me up.” Journeying regularly to the Big Apple to play and watch live shows at the Cheetah, the Palladium and the Village Gate, Astatke met producer Gil Snapper on the circuit. “Gil was a nice and very interesting guy. He produced music and worked with all kinds of musicians.” The meeting would lead to a series of albums on Snapper’s Worthy label. The first, ‘Afro Latin Soul’, documented Astatke’s new-found directions. “Mulatu has created a new sound,” enthused Snapper on the album jacket. “He has taken the ancient five-tone scales of Asia and Africa and woven them into something unique and exciting; a mixture of three cultures, Ethiopian, Puerto Rican and American.” A second volume of ‘Afro Latin Soul’ followed before Astatke began to hone his sound further, infusing funk and cultural influences into the mix. Returning to a downtown Manhattan studio with Snapper and working with some of the city’s top young jazz and latin session players, \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMulatu Of Ethiopia\u003c\/i\u003e began to take shape. “We rehearsed for 3-4 weeks,” remembers Astatke. “it took them a while to get the right feeling in the music.” The resultant album represented the first fully formed document of Astatke’s trademark Ethio jazz sound.

Here we see one of Rio's brightest stars, fusing the contemporary with the classic, soaking up the richness of Brazil's musical heritage. The result is a marauding 20- track epic, incorporating traditional styles such as forro, MPB, pagode and samba with modern baile funk, rasteirinha and hip-hop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album exudes a sense of freedom and creativity, playfully and provocatively juggling the familiar with the forward-thinking. The tracks are divided across two records, navigating feelings of love, heartbreak and discovery, whilst balancing themes of violence, passion, irony and affection. Collaborating with some of the country's most esteemed artists such as Gabriel do Borel, Liniker, Luedji Luna, Tim Bernardes and Ana Caetano, Rubel takes this fusion of styles, subjects and favours to the global stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grand, forro-blending, choral opener, 'Forro Violento (Instrumental)' sets the tone for the album, with references and links between tradition and modernity everywhere to be seen. From the Ana Frango Eletrico produced, funk flexing, samba-soul brilliance of 'Nao Vou Reclamar de Deus', to the album's title cut 'As Palavras', in collaboration with Tim Bernardes, that melds MPB influences with electronic elements and hip-hop touches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross both sides of the album, Rubel's story-telling gift is given space to shine. 'Torto Arado' featuring Liniker and Luedji Luna, beautifully references the racial injustice, tragedy, hope and ambition found in one the most celebrated Brazilian novels of recent times by Itamar Vieira Junior. Elsewhere, 'Na Mao do Palhaco' manifests a satirical march about a suicidal conservative middle-aged man, who is rescued by the miracle of the carnival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt times the album is gentle and intimate with tracks like 'Toda Beleza' featuring Bala Desejo, or the ode to friendship 'Lua de Garrafa', composed with the legendary Milton Nascimento. At others, the grooves hit harder, with sounds from the favelas laced within. 'Put@ria!', explores the universe of baile funk, with BK' and MC Carol trading off on the mic, as 'Rubelia' moves between reggaeton, funk, and hip hop. The latter is a tribute to a key influence of the album, Spanish star Rosalia and her parallel mix of current with classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately though the beauty of this album lies in its concept.

This new, definitive compilation focuses on the music archives of the YEN Records catalog, available for the first time exclusively at Light in the Attic. This is a true celebration of Japan's Techno Pop scene of the 80s, reissued with the intent that future generations, internationally, will be able to discover, enjoy, and appreciate ALFA\/YEN and its significant contributions to the sonic landscape of the 80s and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing music by Yellow Magic Orchestra, Jun Togawa, Yukihiro Takahashi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and more\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: DQJL-2201-2202\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Light In The Attic\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SRD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48059813920936,"sku":"DQJL-2201-2202","price":62.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/ScreenShot2024-05-08at13.31.49.png?v=1715171525"},{"product_id":"buena-vista-social-club-buena-vista-social-club-2xlp","title":"Buena Vista Social Club 'Buena Vista Social Club' 2xLP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sc-zlUcK eoRJJp\"\u003eWorld Circuit presents...the biggest selling world music album of all time...Lovingly re-mastered by the original team and pressed on heavyweight vinyl. 'Buena Vista Social Club' is both the name given to this extraordinary pool of musicians and the album, recorded in just six days in Havana's 1950s vintage EGREM studios. No one could have predicted that Buena Vista Social Club would become a worldwide phenomenon, outselling any other record in the same genre, elevating the artists to superstar status and popularising Cuba's rich musical heritage, all of which has contributed to a massive boom in Cuba's tourist and recording industries. 'Buena Vista Social Club' was released in June 1997 and has since come to be regarded as a classic, selling 7 million copies worldwide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 3\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLabel: World Circuit\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48085092008104,"sku":"0075597951684","price":27.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/ScreenShot2024-05-10at12.42.27.png?v=1715341367"},{"product_id":"arooj-aftab-night-reign-lp","title":"Arooj Aftab 'Night Reign' LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-order.

Aftab makes the night the focus of this nine-song collection. Entirely in her own voice and through her own story, she delves into the multifaceted, bold and fascinating realm that comes to life after dark. Some nights are for falling in love, some are for solitude and introspection, some are to be annoyed at a forced social gathering–and so go the stories of \u003ci\u003eNight Reign\u003c\/i\u003e. The album features new friends like Cautious Clay shredding on flute, Moor Mother echoing Aftab’s sentiment of how cruel the world is, and Chocolate Genius aka Marc Anthony Thompson lending his tender sensibilities to a song about being grounded. Longtime collaborators Petros Klampanis and Maeve Gilchrist also continue their musical partnership as core members of Arooj’s musical family. The resulting new music again showcases Aftab’s striking ability to build a thing of beauty from distinct elements. \u003ci\u003eNight Reign\u003c\/i\u003e is a clear departure from tradition or the reinvention of ancestral music. It’s a reflection of Aftab’s 15 years living in New York City and her unapologetic commitment to stay true to herself. With open-heartedness, candour and wit, Aftab lets us get even closer to her.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: \u003cspan class=\"sc-kaaGRQ kWZBt\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sc-cJbhSk djkSQ\"\u003e5898031\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Verve\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48098772123816,"sku":"5898031","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/files\/ScreenShot2024-05-11at11.57.02.png?v=1715425036"}],"url":"https:\/\/drmckinleychiro.com\/collections\/world.oembed","provider":"Darkcrystal trading","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
