Hope you will enjoy some more Hugh Trace recordings. This time from Uganda, time does not allow me to say more than that it is full of good music. My only gripe is that there are some pieces that would have benefited a great deal if they had been a bit longer! More Indian music later...

I cannot tell you how appreciative I am for all your efforts here. Finding your site was like finding a treasure trove of priceless artifacts. When I read your blog and listen to the music you have so thoughtfully collected and shared I think "this truly is what the internet was made for."
While I appreciate all the posts in their own way I am particularly grateful to find the huge selection of field recordings. I look forward to seeing more Indian folk music and field recordings as well as all the other music you share that I never even knew existed.
Bravo!

I agree totally with what topher says above. I think he speaks for most of us.

Thanks again and please, keep doing what you do, Mr. Bolingo!

WOZA MABANTU!

Infinite thanks - the record Tracey made of the royal Ganda court musicians is staggeringly good so this should be a treat.
