George Mukabi – Furaha Wenye Gita

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.
