Alan Lomax Collection New York, New York
Alan Lomax (1915–2002) was a documentarian, ethnologist, cultural activist, and arguably the foremost folklorist of the 20th
century. Over his seven-decade career he collected thousands of audio recordings of folk and traditional music from around the US and the world, and dedicated himself to the pursuit of what he called "cultural equity."

Just listen to Frank’s acoustic guitar work on Kafo Mshiski, the warmth and patience are truly beautiful. My favorite mixing of the harmonies is Nimechakaa where Thecla Clara and Maria Regina mix in the background leaving Frank the foreground creating layers that are every bit as colorful as the cover to this album.
