George Mukabi was a giant of a man who brought music styles from all over East Africa, specifically Malawi, into his oeuvre, making a sound that was unique among African guitarists. This is a digital reissue which first turned up on Mississippi Records some years back, and is currently being published by Olvido Records. I don’t know if the labels are related, but the sound is crisp and the music is joyful.
Cocoon – You’ve Arrived
For those of you old enough to remember the seminal French cold-wave band Clair Obscur, this album relates. From Cocoon’s Bandcamp site:
“Cocoon is Christophe Demarthe’s project. It continues Clair Obscur’s attempt to shift the frameworks of performance and reception, using the means of electronic music, video and performance.”
