More Hip-hop: I just picked up both wyclef jean presents "The Carnival"
and Menelik's "Je Me Souviens" both of which have some interusting mixes of
music on their second tracks. Wyclef mixes "Concerto For One Voice" by
Christian Langlade in to the Hip-Hop mix, and Menelik puts Pachabel's
Cannon on guitar in the backgroud of his title track. Both albums seem to
be pretty complimentary--even to the interludes that are on both, though,
wyclef does skits. For Menelik check out http://www.sonymusic.fr/menelik.
And, for the cataloge in the US (and to order) go to
http://www.music.sony.com/Music/Globetrotter/ there's a 1-800 number to
order--I'm finally getting Suprême NTM's latest "Paris Sous Les Bombes",
also on their pages there's an interview of Joey Starr from Jail--I'll need
to try and wade through the french again.
