fake freedomblues (and blackstarliners and 0earth) activated.
mY blogs were removed last January along with hundreds of others as casualties of the megaupload hunt I presume.I had "almost" forgot about it....
the standard google/blogger policy in such cases till now was that the blog name and it's url was not available for new blogs anymore.
to my ultimate surprise I found out lately that all their names were given away and reactivated by someone who is probably intending to sell blog names!
a very original and enterprising idea that oblidges me to laugh sarcastically with these new age practices..Happy blog sellings then!
Anyway I had to come back to warn my fellow bloggers and friends(starting with this blog)
that still remember my old blogs to remove them permanently from their lists and preferences.those fake blogs have nothing to do with me now or in the future.
the only freedomblues that is alive is in my heart and can't be deleted from there.
nauma
and to remember freedomblues I'm giving you the two compilations of Tanzanian musiki wa dansi bands
the older first part posted on fdb and the second for this blog.
the more I listen (again) to these bands the more I love (again) and more deeply,this time-this music.The Tanzanian people must be very proud of it..Dance and entertainment of the highest caliber by these,in most cases "state sponsored" bands.Hope you enjoy it along.As you can imagine,I'm in the middle of a "dansi hurricane" during the last days and this resulted the coming compilation.I have included in the file four pdf's for a more compete understanding of the era that produced this tre-tre beautiful music.there is enough material for a second round when we visit again Tanzania.NUTA Jazz and Dar es Salaam bands are not represented,since they had their portraits already,but my favorite,taarab spiced, Kiko Kids Jazz are here in full force with 5 tracks:Tanganyika na Uhuru! Kids Jazz!

Musiki wa dansi 1
unakaribishwa! finally here comes the second, long announced , volume of Musiki wa dansi,the legacy of popular dance music from the divine, I know that I'm exaggerating a bit using this word but that's very close to (the always personal) truth (= heart) of mostly state financed Jazz bands of Tanzania from the early 60's till the late 70's and by jazz we surely mean the local East African brass and percussion rumba variations.
(add to them some of the sweetest guitars that ever came out of the Tanzanian tubes)
I must say that I'm particularly happy to dive again in such an effort and compile a new mix as I have many years of affection for this material. How they sound today apart from the inevitable and certain nostalgia that stimulates memories?a whole era is unfolding through these slow burning swahili rumbas that are still vintage and unsurpassed to these ears.
all real music for all real people.I'm sure you get my point ...to be continued....

ReplyDeletei saw the fake freedomblues pop up in my rss reader and i was like, "huh?". a zombie infestation.
ReplyDeleteDa Da Di Waa...
ReplyDeleteSi! Si!
Let's dance the freedom blues a way
: ) : ) : )
Who takes his time to do this, don't bother to answer I am not really interested. Sell blog names, very creative :)))
ReplyDeleteThanks for the music Nauma.
nauma - you should delete the url to the old fdb-adress on this blog here, too - it's still in the sidebar!! ;)
ReplyDeletelucky
sorry - don't bother to issue my comment before this, my mistake: i saw the fdb-adress in the sidebar of "anthems for the nation of luobaniya", not on "spirits & spices".
ReplyDeletelucky :)
Nice you care Lucky, and nice to see you here.
ReplyDeleteit seems that old blogger names and URLs become available after a certain amount of time has elapsed... I have seen that a lot in the past 6 years as far a weird spam blogs popping up in my feed reader in the place of older blogs that were either deleted or closed by the bloggers themselves.
ReplyDeleteVery keen to check out this Tanzanian Musiki wa Dansi stuff, but I can't get the download to work. The download page returns the following message:

I tried yesterday as well - some problem? With my thanks mamboPete
