Egypt Noir: Nubian Soul Treasures includes two great songs from Ali Hassan Kuban (pictured above), and I'll add more from my collection to give you a full half-hour of the Captain of Nubian Music. Allmusic.com reviewed Kuban's 1994 album Walk Like A Nubian thusly: "If your friends won't dance to this, get new friends." Couldn't say it any better.
From the archives of Ibrahim Sylla (Salif Keita's producer) comes African Pearls: Cote D'Ivoire, West African Crossroads, which includes four tracks by the great Ernesto Djedje, who might have crossed over to worldwide success had he not died of an untreated ulcer (some say he was actually poisoned) in 1983.
And the "accidental world music label" Finders Keepers sent another gem from way, way down at the bottom of the crate -- Pomegranates: Persian Pop, Funk, Folk and Psych of the 60s and 70s. You'll hear a track from this one, plus some of the Bollywood music that influenced it.
