We are making some progress on the Bärenreiters and I am happy to announce the gradual approach of another of the great anthologies that Bärenreiter published namely this one listed above. Again you are most welcome to help out with publishing dates and we already got some good help on the South East Asian Anthology. Of the ones listed above I have now have all of them except one, in various stages of completion as far as editing goes. The one I still miss is the "BM 30 L 2310 Central African Republic" and maybe someone out of the steadily increasing number of potential Luobaniyans can supply us with a copy or a rip. I will start posting them in my own particular order that is neither chronological nor by preference but by what I call "sudden enlightenment". You'll see, maybe!


So...
Wanted! Recherché! Werde gesucht!

I have the CAR in my archives. Let me get it ripped and I'll touch base with you about an upload/handoff.

Wonderful Sun Ira!!

That is so good news. Just take your time and drop me a line at "bolingo69 "at" gmail "dot" com" when you have the time to ponder upon the logistics some more!

Hmm, this is what makes it so satisfying after editing zillions of files for fellow Luobaniyans.

The "gathering" the “coming togehter”, there is even a hexagram for that in the old chinese classic of divination, the Yi JIng...

䷬ Cui 萃 No. 45

GATHERING TOGETHER. Success.
The king approaches his temple.
It furthers one to see the great man.
This brings success. Perseverance furthers.
To bring great offerings creates good fortune.
It furthers one to undertake something.

So it seems we have sanctions from at least some of the powers...

A dream come true for me! I remember going through this catalogue with fascination some years back, and quietly hoping that I'd be able to listen to these someday. Never imagined the time would come so soon!

A big hug and my humble thanks to you, bo, and to everyone else in what is becoming a large, extended family. May your (or rather our) tribe multiply!

Hello!

This Collection is going to be available in cd format?

Thank you

I do not think so! There was an attmept many years ago to bring the series out by Rounder Records Unesc collection but it was discontinued! I do not know of any other plans but my guess is that there is no commercial viable scheme to do that but maybe someone makes a commercial digital edition for online downloads.I have no idea … but in the meanwhike what is wrong with this attempt except that is is very slow? I have all the LP's digitized but have lacked time to track edit and post them the last two years … I have not given up so they may all appear here in some more time …

hi---I read question & answer (from2011) about B/M 30 L 2311--NIGERIA 3 IGBO MUSIC & whether it was available for distribution or not.Answer was that it was basicly in production. I'm very interested in this recording & would like to know if now, in 2020, it's available in any format---(thanks for all your work on this whole project, it's invaluable)
if you want to respond by email, my addy is hawmke@gmail.com .

thanks bolingo69!---after i left my mssge, i perused your site some more & actually found what u are talking about! who posted it i don't know, you or someone else--but many of these old LPs, including what i was looking for, are listed & can be downloaded--that's wonderful---without this option many great, historic B/M Unesco recordings would be lost to the public. thanks again for all your work.

Dearhawmkw, Thanks for your kind words! The Nigeria III Bärenreiter you were looking for were actually posted already back in April 2011. Links are still good!
