Pickled Egg Jukebox-Your Selections

[myglaren]

My new next door neighbour was playing this earlier when I was hanging washing out but I have only just remembered the title.
It may be heresy but I prefer this to the one she was playing by that Bob Marley fella.

Anna Maria Hefele Germany

Should we risk something different, and remarkable. I have no idea what is best in her repertoire so just pulled out an example at random. You can plainly see the three instruments in this song, you can discern the sounds of the harp and the accordion, all the other sounds are her voice.

Another conglomeration.
Singer - Azam Ali (Persian)
Language - only Azam Ali knows, sometimes Farsi, sometimes she makes it up on the fly.
Instruments: Azam Ali: Santur. Greg Ellis: Percussion.

"Refuge"



A lot like "Dead Can Dance"

That's nice Neil!

The throat singing is like that of Athena Andreadis. I was amazed the first time I heard her do it.

Which leads nicely into one I have had lurking in the background and another mishmash.
Country: Paraguay
Artist: Mika Agametsu (Japan)
Music: Natsunoomoide


She is something of a folk hero in South America and has the most enchanting smile.
