TPS 027 - Selections by Melody Nelson

http://www.okayafrica.com/sudan-sounds-mixtape-ostinato-records/

Take a sail down the Blue and White Nile as they pass through Khartoum, carrying with them an ancient history and a never-ending stream of poems and songs. Immerse in the endlessly gorgeous violin and accordion driven orchestral music of 1970’s Khartoum, and the synthesizer music of the late 1980s and early 1990s. 

We’re going to bring the enchanting violin harmonies, haunting synthesizer melodies, and relentless tum-tum rhythms of Khartoum’s golden cultural era, which captured the hearts and minds of post-colonial Africa and the Middle East, to the world later this year, fully remastered and licensed. 

As always, some of these songs will be included in the final cut. Enjoy!

Selected by Vik Sohonie & Nicolas Sheikholeslami (Caykh)

I heard voices : "@ home you have to stay today. No, Melody Nelson, you can't go at the Garrison". 
I know. And tomorrow also. So, how to go to Toronto? I really need to share my love for the music 
with A man called Warwick. So many beauties, countries and discoveries to show, like in movies. 
Blind travel. Close your eyes. We are cycling on a black circle track. Mind marvel. Open your skies. 
We are travelling on flying vinyl. Don't hide your trip, go to the flip side. That's Turning Point in our lives.
