Record Label of Love: Analog Africa

Analog Africa is one of the most exciting new record labels of recent years, releasing passionately-selected masterpieces of amazing-- and, to most ears, almost forgotten-- African pop from the 1970s and 80s. We try to keep all of their CD titles in stock here at the store.
The label's latest, LEGENDS OF BENIN, is a compelling compendium of funk, groove, melody, and roots.
For more about this, and for some treats and surprises, you can check out the label's blog right here:

Esperanza Spalding

Esperanza Spalding-- a dynamic singer and bassist, to put it mildly--has lately been among the most requested artists here at the store. People are still buzzing about her performance at the Burlington Jazz Festival.
In this video she plays and sings for President Obama and Stevie Wonder!
