oh man oh man oh man this is awesome how did I miss this
I know some of you must have got the AMAZING Music From Saharan Cell Phones compilations from Sahel Sounds, if you haven't you gotta do it right nowwwww Vol 1 Vol 2
well this is a compilation of reworks of a bunch of those tracks by some really pro guys
right now it's pay what you want, but it looks like they're gonna put out a tape on mississippi records, a 7" with one of the tracks, and 30 micro sd cards that are going to kidal, mali to get back into the whole cell-phone-music-sharing system going on among the people over there (SO COOL)
"...On Oct.10 2011 Boomarm Nation and Sahel Sounds present: “Music For Saharan Cellphones”. Drawing on gifted producers and musicians from a variety of stylistic backgrounds and nationalities, each artist selected and re-interpreted a musical moment from the source material. From bass laden sound/clash ventures, abstract re-creations, and even an amazing autotune cover, the end result holds a rich assortment of well informed musical statements. Reflecting the energy and fidelity of its origins, these versions take on their own rare and exciting form. Using the mp3 as the medium, the Music and the Musicians become the diplomacy. "
