Wednesday Tease time! Here are the first lines from each of this week's batch of Other People's Music. As always, you can read the full versions here:
According to some, #WestAfrica is a hotspot of the most talented guitarists around. I agree, but I freely admit I've been biased for a long long time now.
This is Fanta Bourama by Djelimady Tounkara. Considering the above statement, he's mixing in so many styles in this, from #flamenco to jeli ngoni-innspired melodies to #jazzy chromaticism, with immaculate technique and flair, and he makes it all sound effortless. He used to be in the legendary Rail Band before going solo, and is rightfully considered an African #guitar hero. Though not as famous—globally-speaking—as Ali Farka Touré (who occasionally played with the Rail Band’s competition, Les Ambassadeurs), he’s of that same generation of musical pioneers.

This is such a cool idea.
It's estimated that 100,000 new songs are uploaded to #Spotify every day.
Inevitably, that means loads of really great music never gets heard.
Thanks to Venus Theory, I've just heard about #Forgotify, which points you to songs on Spotify that have no listens, or at least no complete play throughs.
And I've already found some real gems!
I've been a little shy about posting music recently for reasons that aren't 100% clear to me, so I promised myself that tonight I would record something and post it no matter what. So here we go!
"Shell" - moderately-paced, classical/jazz/ambient, solo acoustic piano
