Over the last year or two we've been getting into some Malian music, in particular the blind husband/wife duo Amadou & Mariam and the late blues guitarist Ali Farka Toure (and his son Vieux). But best of all, in our opinion, is Salif Keita, who is Malian music royalty (he is literally of royal heritage). He has a gorgeous, unique voice. And the band killed at Prospect Park. They had an ill lead electric guitarist, lots of African instruments, lots of drums and percussion, female dancers. It was a joyous spectacle. At the end of the show they brought a bunch of people from the audience on stage to dance with them.
Goodies: For some reason we don't seem to have any Salif in our iTunes at the moment (CDs are in storage), but we promise we'll have more African music for you soon. In the meantime, here is Vieux Farka Toure doing U2's "Bullet the Blue Sky."
what can I say? music is my life and i can't live without it ...

Business underlies everything in our national life, including our spiritual life, Witness the fact that in the Lord's prayer the first petition is for daily bread, No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach. Very reasonable!Post by Jordan Flipsyde

This has been a very informative series - it has been great to have a 'masterclass' with such detailed examples for this subject area - thanks for taking the trouble to deal with it so comprehensively

i would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.
