Hamid Baroudi an Algerian has lived in France and then Germany where he fronted the group Die Dissidenten. Desert Roots is from his album 'City no Mad', 1994, it's a cut I play frequently.
Dobosz: Unfortunately all the notes on this CD are in French, which I don't speak so I have to appreciate the music purely for the sound; which I do, I have 3 of their CD's. The lead singer is Dennis Péan, the backups are Nadia and Yamina Nid El Mourid. This is From Boheme de Crîstal, 1999.
King Tubby was the originator of of dub, many afficianados consider this cut to be his greatest single achievement; it's a remix of Prince Alla's"Stone". It's on the Rough Guide to 'Reggae' 1997.
Margie by Dave McKenna: I included this because he's not widely known and I think he deserves the widest exposure, I've heard him described as the greatest jazz pianist in the world! I think he's fantastic, I have everything I can find by him; this one's from 'My Friend the Piano' on Concord, 1987.
