When I recently saw the group Narairato from the Solomon Islands play at Byron Bay Bluesfest I was blown away by their performance. I likened it to a cross between Congotronics and Peruvian pan pipes speed up. So that was the seed for this mix.
It starts with the Peruvian pan pipes, moves to the bamboo pipes of the Pacific islands and then to the low fi electronics of the Congo. Now Congotronics was likened to German Krautrock of the 70s and so the mix then chases its tail from there through New Wave, African covers, Colombian Champeta, Caribbean Chutney, Afro Celt and Japanese clones.
