Sorry. I often ruin people's days by being to quick.
At least my girlfriend keeps complaining about it.

yeah, speed is not always a virtue. Perhaps I'll try slowing down and researching a bit more ...

Yeah, dude's crazy talented.
I hope he improves a bit in the songwriting department but I mean he's still young.

Here are three calming songs from Zimbabwe singer "Tuku". Not exceptional music, but exceptional quality, that elevates the simple to the beautiful:-

Quote:

Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi (22 September 1952 – 23 January 2019) was a Zimbabwean musician, businessman, philanthropist, human rights activist and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for Southern Africa Region. Tuku was considered to have been Zimbabwe's most renowned and internationally recognised cultural icon of all time.

Oliver Mtukudzi, or "Tuku" as his fans lovingly call him, plays spirited music, born from the soul of Zimbabwe. He's been recording since the late 1970s, with about as many albums as his age: 60.

But Mtukudzi's new record reveals a heavier heart than before: Sarawoga is his first recording since the loss of his son Sam. He and Sam — also a guitar player, as well as a saxophonist — had a special relationship touring together. But in March 2010, Sam Mtukudzi was killed in a car crash at the age of 21. Oliver Mtukudzi recently told NPR's Tell Me More that "the only way to console myself is to carry on doing what we loved doing most. Sitting down [to] cry and mourn — I think it would have killed me."

He was a great musician. I downloaded a bunch of his stuff off of Kazaa back in the day.

The Tiny Desk Concerts fulfill their function very well: they give you a very digestible-sized introduction to an artist, live, and with crystal-clear sound and video.

Every since someone gave me five Angélique Kidjo albums, on mp3, I have been meaning to check her out properly. According to MB search, she's been mentioned just 5 times here, but as you'll quickly see, she has the assured professionalism that befits a Grammy award winner. She also has a song that's presumably a rallying cry for oppressed African women, called Free And Equal. Now applying, of course, to post-Dobbs American women too:
