Historic recordings from Ravi Shankar beginning with the astonishing 28 minute 'Raga Jog' recorded in 1956 and arguably one of his absolute finest recordings. The other really serious rarities on this set are those made by the Hindu musicians that provided music for the production of original Uday Shankar (Ravi's brother) dance company of Hindu Musicians when it made its historic first visit to the United States in 1937; the young Ravi Shankar was amongst that number. These are therefore the earliest recordings of Ravi that exist, originally released on 78's and available digitally for the first time ever. Ravi Shankar is the biggest name in world music and - due partly to the closeness of his involvement with the Beatles - a towering figure in psychedelic circles also. 'Raga Jog' is first and foremost, the most refined Indian classical music; it is also the most incredible piece of sitar psychedelia you will hear! El. 2007.
Personnel: Chatur Lal (tabla).
Liner Note Author: Christopher Evans.
Recording information: 1937-1956.

In a period of a great cultural awakening in Egypt, this is a showcase for an almost forgotten era with women singers being the biggest "stars" who were as famous as any star of today (including Umm Kulthum). While scarcely remembered now, the competitio
Personnel: Rose Zahran (piano).
An artistic renaissance overtook Egypt in the 1920s and '30s, an explosion of new theaters and cabarets resulting in something of a golden age for female Egyptian vocalists. Suddenly in demand, and finding outlets unavailable to them previously, female actors and singers seized the opportunity to grab the spotlight, and many of them found their way onto recordings -- recordings that, for the most part, have been lost to time. Women of Egypt 1924-1931, subtitled "Pioneers of Stardom and Fame," is a painstakingly compiled, and copiously annotated, compendium of 16 rare sides, a fascinating peek at a time when a feminist movement -- concurrent with the suffrage movement and the Roaring Twenties in the U.S., and the artistic blossoming of Paris -- came to Egypt and freed its women to sing. Of all of the Egyptian female singers of the era, none was more renowned than Umm Kulthum (her name is spelled in numerous ways in the West). Her career began in the mid-'20s, peaked in the '30s and '40s, and by the time ...

Flowers Of India
$18.99
Round Mountain's Char and Robby Rothschild have been playing music together for most of their lives. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, their background ranges from Balkan and West African styles to traditional Appalachian music, from classical to funk. While they have played extensively together and separately in many ensembles and projects, including Prince Diabate, Panjea, the Selkies, and Lizard House, this configuration marks the crystallization of their own music using the traditions that have inspired them. Expect many extremes - beautiful acoustic numbers, wild bagpipes, trumpet and accordion played by one person at the same time, Bulgarian zydeco, klezmer, and Malian rhythms, to name a few. But while their music is varied, it is far from random. There is a solvent behind all these different dry ingredients that allows them to blend seamlessly – original songwriting with respect and love for the music. And, of course, the peculiar breed of madness the Rothschild brothers possess.Char Rothschild, the elder of the two brothers, gives new life to the word multi-instrumentalist. ...
