Re: [Harp-L] Fwd: African harp players?



I can think if at least one more "real one" and one "false one".

The real one is Jean Emilien from Madagascar. He plays tremolo and his stuff is wonderfully quaint in the odd rhythms of mada.

The "false one" is Vincent Bucher who has played for over a decade in Tao Ravao's malagasy formation Tany Manga, and who also plays on many albums by African starts like Lobi Traoré.

I think Rory McLeod plays on Ali Farka Toure's The River, but I still haven't been able to locate that album...

You know, I really can't think of ever seeing a Harmonica being played in
and African setting.  Isn't that odd... you'd think that the portability and
relative cheapness of harmonicas would make them popular.  Humph.

The folks on the "L" want to know. Thought I'd ask you.  Damn, the Red
Soz have just scored 5 runs with two outs - 3 of them in a row with bases
loaded walks...shit, this game has fallen apart...time for another pitcher
change to face the heart of the order with the bases loaded......Hope for a
better game tomorrow.
