Uploaded October 2016 | Updated September 2026, 1 hour ago
Baaba Maal is one of the finest singers in the world, and he's currently on brilliant live form - as shown by those memorable impromptu collaborations with anyone from Toumani Diabate to Franz Ferdinand at the Africa Express shows. Yet he hasn't recorded a new album for seven years, which presumably explains this limited-edition retrospective acoustic live set. It's taken from performances over the past 10 years, many featuring the exquisite kora work of the late Kaouding Cissoko, and includes some impressive tracks, from that lyrical favourite Baayo to a hypnotic, improvised workout on the harsh-edged Farba, previously only released on cassette in Africa. Then there's the gently charming, kora-backed Fanta, the well-worn and more slushy Cherie, and a virtuoso collaboration with Jamaican guitar hero Ernest Ranglin on Koni, which they performed together on Maal's last live recording, nine years ago. It's currently available only on vinyl or as a download from baabamaal.tv, but is well worth checking out as we wait for something new. Those Africa Express collaborations would make a great start.

![Ruddy Redwood interview [UNCUT]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ywd9N2WiCtc/mqdefault.jpg "Ruddy Redwood interview [UNCUT]
Was Rudolph “Ruddy” Redwood the originator of the remix? In this mid-90s interview he recalls the serious of fortunate events resulting in Jamaica’s (and the world’s) first “version”. The story begins with the ex-jeweller’s S-R-S – or Supreme Ruler of Sound, Spanish Town’s top ranking sound system. Ruddy would preview acetates for the legendary Duke Reid. Then one night he played an accidental instrumental of the Paragons’ “On the Beach”. The result was musical history. The affable “Mr. Midnight” remembers the night in question, sheds some interesting light on the nature of the Duke himself, and as an added bonus, reveals the secret of building a proper speaker box. Steve Barrow asks the questions and Don Letts and Rick Elgood do the shooting.

![Bunny “Striker” Lee interview - Part 2 [UNCUT]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZaaxfxQjL-Q/mqdefault.jpg "Bunny “Striker” Lee interview - Part 2 [UNCUT]
Following the wonderfully named 2103 documentary “I Am the Gorgon”, Bunny “Striker” Lee is becoming more widely recognized as one of the crucial figures in the development of Jamaican music. His encyclopaedic knowledge and forthright nature make for a fascinating interview, with frequent digressions and anecdotes only adding flavour to the mix. In part two of a wide-ranging conversation, he holds forth on, among many others: the “revolutionary” Mrs. Pottinger, Coxsone Dodd, Chris Blackwell, Black Uhuru, Sly & Robbie, Lee Perry, Count Shelly, interviewer Steve Barrow, Inner Circle, , Joe Gibbs, Edward Seaga, Irie FM, Rodigan, Roland Alphonso, Tommy McCook, and Lester Sterling. And there’s more: Harry J’s “midas touch”, England “the headquarters” of Jamaican music, King Tubby’s 4-track dub, when Niney “ruled the roost”, Duke Reid’s guns, and the importance of Baba Brooks.
