The perfect antidote to all the right-wing shit of the last few days.!
Wire said of this CD "Various - Two Niles To Sing A Melody: The Violins & Synths Of Sudan (Ostinato)
Ostinato has released just five records to date but has already become synonymous with quality and research. These mesmerising recordings represented the often overlooked music of Sudan, accompanied by forensically thorough sleevenotes. Clive Bell said: “Traditionally a melting pot for Arabic and African cultures, Sudan achieved independence from Britain in 1956. A government-sponsored musical golden age in the 70s lasted until 1989 when a strict Islamic government violently clamped down.” (October 2019/416)
