Order The Hips of Tradition: The Return of Tom Zé (Brazil 5): luakabop.lnk.to/tom-ze-hips-of-tradition
“Tom Zé continues to feed off of conflicts in Brazilian life. His music reflects an acute awareness of what is going on. You can hear it without understanding the lyrics. Lyrics which are incredible but which are, in some cases, nonsense syllables, as if even he can find no words better to articulate the swarming influences outside his windows in São Paulo. He is a man from the poor Northeast living in the Big City, looking at it with the eyes and ears of a poet. Both inside it and outside it at the same time. Tom Zé’s is music which gives us hope. Music that finds beauty in strange places.”
-David Byrne

Order SUGUNGGA: https://luakabop.lnk.to/leenalchi-sugungga
LEENALCHI’s “Crying Softshell Turtle” comes from the Korean folk tale SUGUNGGA, and tells the story of an enterprising turtle on a quest to cure the dragon king by bringing him a sacrificial rabbit, whose liver is the greatest medicine.
Assuming the role of the turtle, they sing “I beg you to open his belly, and I pray to god there is a liver in there. But if there isn’t a liver, you can execute my whole family and tear me to pieces, and I won’t have any regrets. I beseech you, open his belly.”
Arranged & performed by 이날치 LEENALCHI
Produced by 장영규 Jang Young Gyu
Recorded & Mixed by 오영훈 Oh Young Hoon

It was so hard to get our heads around William Onyeabor’s story when we first started working with him. No one knew anything about him and that’s the way he liked it.
Even as we grew to love and respect Mr. Onyeabor (as we called him) we never got the whole picture. And we still know so little.
Now it’s 10 years since releasing Mr. Onyeabor’s records — and its almost what would have been his 79th birthday — so we are releasing two of his magical LPs in COLOR for the first time ever: 1978’s Atomic Bomb in Fission Red and 1980’s Body and Soul in Magic Ministries Blue.")
