Muziki wa Kialsili (side A)

Muziki wa Kiasili is a 1974 collection of Kenyan folk music on a label from Nairobi. It's pretty diverse, ranging from sparse vocal songs to an amazing abstract percussion piece that almost reminds me of the Art Ensemble. The diversity, somewhat arbitrary sequence, and primitive but competent recordings all remind me of the Nonesuch Explorer series. The packaging is a full-color gatefold with beautiful pictures, but it's mastered a bit less professionally, with a super-quiet cut.
