TPS  046 - EASTERN NOTES  Vol II - Selections by WoMu Vin

TPS 060 - Μουσική του λαού - MUSIC OF THE PEOPLE - Part 2

(Greek music recorded in N.Y.C from 1920's -1950's from 78 RPM Shellac)

Selections by a man called warwick

Back in the summer of 2023, we received a message from a kind lady in Southern Ontario. She told us that she had inherited a collection of 78rpm shellac records from her late father, who was of Greek descent and had a deep love for music.

While we don’t typically collect 78s—since the format is difficult to use in clubs, fragile, and heavy to transport for a mobile setup—I was still intrigued by the idea of exploring music from this era and this unique culture. So, I decided to take a road trip and see where my curiosity would lead.

Long story short, I came home with a large collection of Greek 78s. Now, with eager ears, I was ready to hear what I had blindly purchased. The beautiful labels sparked my curiosity—many of them were from New York City, dating from the mid-1920s to the early 1950s.Finally we had time to record our favourites from this collection of dusty crackley magical deep moody bluesy recordings 

and now sharing with the many curious ears in 2025
via this Raw low-fi mix with some records being almost 100 year old
and to which are of the very first Greek recordings 
ENJOY !! and please share far and wide 
PLAY LOUD !

TPS 039 - EASTERN NOTES- Selections by WoMu Vin

Guest selector WoMu Vin (@WorldMusicVinyl) is back with an all Algerian Chaabi selection.

Here are his notes: This mix is named after Café Malakoff of the Casbah of Algiers which was considered the prime meeting venue for the most prominent Chaabi artists of 20th century Algeria. In fact, in its heyday it was owned by the most influential Chaabi master of his time, the legendary Hadj Mohammed El Anka, who was nicknamed "The Cardinal" (of Algerian Chaabi).

The mix features several legendary Algerian Chaabi artists including Hadj Mohammed El Anka, Dahmane El Harrachi, Boudjemaa El Ankis (whose picture appears on the artwork of this mix), El Hachemi Guerouabi, Abdelkader Chaou, Amar Ezzahi and Amar Laachab.

Another legendary Algerian Chaabi artist/songwriter/composer who should certainly be mentioned in this mix's notes is Mahboub Bati, the man who wrote and composed some of the biggest hits of the names mentioned above (with the exception of El Anka and Dahmane), many of which are featured in this mix; undoubtedly the leading moderniser of Algerian Chaabi in the second half of the 20th century.

All tracks were recorded from vinyl and cleaned up digitally to improve the poor mastering and/or pressing quality of some of the records; a time consuming task that was completely worth the effort given how great I think those tracks are.

I hope you'll enjoy a track or two!"
