Byrne’s boutique label, Luaka Bop, is 21 years old. Luaka Bop has released a lot of hip music by artists from around the world... such as Susana Baca, Tom Zé and Zap Mama.Byrne is especially fond of Brazilian music. And I’ve got a funky FREE MP3 by Jorge Ben off the Luaka Bop anniversary compilation, “Twenty First Century, Twenty First Year.”

More on this album
Last night I downloaded the "Luaka Bop - Orinoco Sampler" at Amazon.com--FOR FREE! Can't remember if Jorge Ben is on it, but all the other artists you mention are.
ReplyDeleteYay.
^ Yay indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe entire Jorge Ben album that this track is taken from is FIRE!!! It's called Africa-Brasil and you've got to find it wherever, however, you can.
ReplyDelete^ Damn, Dacks... that CD is priced from $50 up to $159 by Amazon sellers!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't listen to the song before downloading, so I was surprised to hear that I already own it. Got it when I first got hip to Calabash Music (now Mondomix).
ReplyDelete"Umbabarauma." So that's what he's saying. :-)
^ A step ahead of me, as you often are!
