Tropical Static -MP3-
February 5th 2008
Here is a new mix with records that I found in N'Zerekore.
"Tropical Static" includes records from Guinea, Mali and Senegal of course heavily focusing on the Guinean side. Funk heads beware: This is not "club music". Big shout out to Chris Meserve who helped me to appreciate the more traditional side of African music and who therefore deserves all the blame for this one. Sorry about the sometimes pretty loud crackle... some of these records got played quite a bit by their original owners.

Hey Frank - thanks sooo much for all four of these wonderful mixes ... and the stories and pics!!!
TROPICAL STATIC seems to get stuck ie stop at 8.99MB of the 89.9MB registered ... I have tried this twice while listening on my WMP ... will try and direct target save and will come back again if that does not work either ... thanks again
Chris A
alas! new entries! and new mixes!
can't wait to check these out...
Cool! Glad to see we're going to get to hear the Cuban stuff, too. I think it's good to get away from the Afrobeat stuff and into other styles now and then, much as I love the funky, fuzzy stuff.
Thank you so much, Tropical Static is incredible! Now if only the sun would come out...
Hi Chris A,
I tried from here and Tropical Static seems to load without a problem, I don't think anyone else is experiencing any problems either?
Bembeya Jazz is wonderful. I'm crazy about this kind of stuff. The whole thing is sunny and full of deep emotions. Thanks Frank

Hi!
I'm also finding that Tropical Static sticks at the same place Chris A. mentioned.
Thanks for everything.

i only got a bit of the tropical static as well. (the fist song is very excellent!)
your blog is dope, by the way.
I heard from a few people who had trouble downloading this one. I don't know what's up but if you try repeatedly it should work.
Sorry...
thanks so much frank! all of your mixes are awesome, they help get me through my corporate work day...
you are way cooler than the other frank: http://www.last.fm/music/Frank
Whoa,
What happened to the Cuban stuff?
Sorry... I removed the Cuban mix. I'm in the process of makign a few edits to the blog and I felt it was thematically a little out of place.
