The Obscure Music thread

[SternWake]

A few years back a friend introduced me to some Underground music, From 1970's Zambia called Zamrock.

Blew my mind such good music never seemed to make it across the Atlantic until the Advent of you tube, and It sent me on a search far and wide for other African Gems, and I found plenty.

While this particular band is from Ghana, and is considered to be 'High Life' music, and absolutely requires speakers capable of reproducing bass( not laptop speakers), and the recording quality is sub par, I have to say, I got to say, screw modern Pop music.

Only song on this album I dont like is 'Kale'

Too many Zamrock songs worthy of blowing a gasket listening to at too much volume

, but here instead is some Afro Cubano music from Senegal:

Back When I was in Durban, parking my VW Kombi in a Hostel by the Indian Ocean, there was a Maid named Victoria.  I believe she was  Matabele.  I played this song on the very capable Hostel stereo and She went  absolutely Nuts, dancing around the Hostel.  I copied my tape and gave her the original.

[Every Road Leads Home]

I consider almost any music better than modern pop.

I've been listening to a lot of Two Steps From Hell....Pandora introduced me to them. No, they are not a metal band like their name suggests but technically a production company that does a lot of epic sound tracks.
