Zimbabwe Cha Cha Cha Kings - Vimbiso [1989]

 

How many quadrillion-billion-gadzillion Zimbabwe dollars did this set you back, DB?  

[Tippaporn]

Since I'm in a pyschedelic mood on that "other" music thread here's some from more recent artists.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Let me know if anyone has made through the entire almost 17 minute jam.

I remember listening to this whilst passing Andromeda on the way to Coma Berenices in NGC 4414.  Good times . . .

always loved the album cover...sorta like Maxfield Parrish on acid...and the music is great too...

Right! I always wanted to be that guy on the horse, galloping off for adventures of all kinds whilst waving goodbye to his love. So damn romantic.

Calvary, the hill near Jerusalem where Christ was crucified, yet some say the first half of the song fits perfectly with a Western.

Sergio Leone should have used QMS for the soundtrack.  But he did O.K.  LOL.

yeah...

[tutsiwarrior]

there was an old blind black busker sittin' and playin' the blues on the sidewalk outside of the 5th Avenue Arcade in Nashville late 50s to early 60s that I always remembered as a kid...and as it turned out he won a grammy for best folk recording in 1967...his name was Cortelia Clark...he also sold paper shopping bags to passerby...

 

there was the spectacle of an old blind black guy playing guitar and singing but there was something about the music and he wailed on it...I thought: 'that sounds like the stuff that I hear on my transistor radio...' and I was fascinated, we all know where rock and roll comes from...

 

I have been unsuccessful but if anyone can find a recording of his and put it up on this thread it would be great...

 

then I'll tell my pal Alan Lomax to check it out...

Tutsi, found this on YT.  Seems to have quite a few recordings by Cortelia Clark, about 13, but all I get is, "This video contains content from SME, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."  Maybe can access in Thailand with a VPN connection, which I don't have.  Let me know if you can view them.

 

Erm, I think Alan Lomax already has access to Cortelia's work, and probably much more . . .

Same results for me, Andy.  No can play here in Thailand without a VPN.  

[Andrew Dwyer]

Set your vpn to US , should open on YouTube .

[tutsiwarrior]

thanks, folks...I got the same shit with the 'blocked SME content in your area' and even the Singapore VPN won't do...

 

I remember he'd play and slap his strings and shake his head like a blind man...streets of Nashville, couldn't get any truer than that...

 

one day when I was about 11 or 12 there was a crowd watchin' him...buncha young dudes with duck ass hair cuts...hillbilly boys comin' into town to become music stars lookin' to see how it's done...

not so sure about that...ol' Alan he stuck mostly to the delta around Missisippi, field moans around Alabama and Georgia...last time I talked to him over a few beers he said that he missed a lot that was goin' on in downtown Nashville...he reckoned that ol' Chris Strachwitz and Arhoolie Records had all that covered...looks like some other folks came along and 'discovered' ol' Cortelia...

 

just so's to mention it to him so's that ol' Alan has his archive complete...kinda like...

 

(I like talkin' to ghosts, don't yew?)
