Nilotika Cultural Ensemble is a Nyabingi band from the source of the Nile in Uganda. They use traditional instruments and the full ensemble of around 15 people, including friends and family. Their music can be described as drum-heavy African Nyabingi and Baganda music that fuses traditional melodies and rhythms with Hip Hop and Reggae.

The song “Ghetto People” is about the hardship of growing up in the ghettos of Kampala and trying to find a way out without becoming a criminal. Positive music, a network of creative people and the spirituality of the Nyabingi Rastafari movement is the key to a better life.

The track features a career-topping melodic performance in Luganda and English from renowned Hip Hop artist Spyda MC, accompanied by the massive percussion and drum sounds of the Nilotika band. Spyda has toured Europe and East Africa both as an artist in his own right and with Nilotika’s offshoot band “Nihiloxica”, who have received rave
reviews from Pitchfork, Wired magazine, Mixmag, etc.

German production duo Ancient Astronauts add some groovy remix treatment to “Ghetto People” in their trademark Boom Dub style to underline the message and melody of this beautiful song.

Precious Memories: Jean Ritchie Sings Folk and Country Songs

Go Dig My Grave

Méridiens

Am Schlachtensee

Now entering the seventh decade of an extraordinary and influential career, Jean Ritchie is one of the most enduring figures in American folk music. Elektra’s second LP release and, significantly, the label’s first folk LP, Jean Ritchie Singing The Traditional Songs Of Her Kentucky Mountain Family laid down an impressive marker for the embryo label. It was also Ritchie's first album.

Jean was born in 1922 in Viper, Kentucky, the youngest of 14 children. The family’s Anglo-Scots-Irish heritage was rich in songs sung by generations tucked away in the Appalachians. Singing in the purest of tones and strumming on her dulcimer, Ritchie’s ingenuous songwriting preserved an ancient tradition.

After graduating college, she arrived in New York in 1948 where she was a sensation. Nobody had heard such authentic performances except on field recordings. She recorded a second LP for Elektra in 1954, Kentucky Mountain Songs. All her Elektra material is now gathered onto the Rhino Handmade collection Mountain Hearth & Home.

Jean Ritchie has always maintained her Appalachian authenticity and for Jac Holzman, it was a remarkable opportunity to capture such a seminal artist as his first folk artist.
