Im sorry it's taking me so long to upload my show from August. I gave birth 5 days after i recorded this episode, so my time has been dedicated to this little new life who is now earthside. It has been the most transformative experience of my life as you can probably imagine. He is my sun, in all his light and warmth.

Soup To Nuts w/ Coco María 300124

Bangladesh only a decade after its 1971 independence war with Pakistan created a number of bands who combined the traditional songwriting techniques with influences from western acts. There is an obvious influence of Reggae, New-Wave, Funk and Psychedelic Rock throughout most of these recordings. Most of these bands released directly to cassette since there wasn’t much of a budget to produce vinyl LP’s. However this low barrier of entry resulted in many bands picking up their instruments to have a go at stardom. This mix here is a selection of the vast variety of 80s and 90s Bangladeshi bands who created a unique sound of melancholy yet infectiously funky tunes. These recordings reflect the heart and minds of the Bangladeshi people still torn by war but also holding on to the hope of a brighter future.

Tracklist:
1. Winds - Sedino Chilo Koto Tara
2. Burning Heart - Nirob Raate
3. Beau Monde - Hridoyer Govire
4. Shadows - Aajo Ami Sei Pothe
5. Rocks Bay - Tumi Aar Ami
6. Lesson #1 - Jabar Somoy
7. Stainth - Mone Ki Pore Na
8. Steps - Lolona
9. Insight - Firiye Dao Sei Din Gulo
10. Response - Tomar Du Chokhe
11. Feedback - Din Zay Din
12. Chime - Tender For Living
13. Souls - Vision
