I recorded Alphousseyni playing this song late one night last week...he was really tired and actually I had been intending to record one of the other family members that evening, but he (Papis, Alphousseyni's younger brother) left unexpectedly, so Alphousseyni obliged a couple of tunes dispite the fact that he was exhausted from a concert earlier that night. His tiredness lent a sweet softness to his voice, I think, and I really like the way this recording turned out. I haven't had a chance to mix it properly yet, but here is a "rough draft" so you can get a small taste of the music I've been immersed in the past few weeks. Hope you enjoy it.

That was beautiful.
Very cool, Blake. What a unique sounding instrument and wonderful singing.
I have enjoyed reading your blog. You have shared your unique experiences well.
Wish you the best.

This is even better! Oh to be Alphousseyni's groupie... I'm obscenely jealous. You better bring back terrabytes of this shit.
