FAO African Serenaders

[Varese]

Hello all-
I was wondering what you know about music from Angola- I'm teaching a couple of Angolans at the moment and they said they'd get some stuff for me and wondered if i should try and find anything in particular!

varese-
I really don't know enough about Angolan music. I've heard most of the Bonga CDs, Waldemar bastos, the double-CD Soul of Angola. Buda or another company had a series of more detailed CDs. I would be interested in any material from the sixties and early seventies.

The Angola 70s series on Buda is damn fine.

Varese, I would suggest that you ask the Angolan chaps to select whatever they enjoyed or was popular or historically siginificant. That should result in a few good discoveries I would have thought.
