 | Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4138 Points Moderator | This morning sees the first broadcast in a series of three programmes about the history of recordings by black musicians at a time when such records were not being made in North America. The series is introduced by Clarke Peters and is linked to the release of a CD box set of historic recordings by Bear Family Records Black Music in Europe: a Hidden History |

| Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4138 Points Moderator | Another fascinating peep into the world of African recordings in the '20s, this time looking at Zonophone records. Episode 3 - 1920-1930 Clarke explores the sounds of Zonophone records, a pioneering label that recorded a huge amount of early African popular music. Many of these discs were made in London for export to West Africa, including several Nigerian hymns recorded in 1922 by Fela Kuti's grandfather. The programme also includes the sounds of African American jazz in 1920s Paris, especially the work of Josephine Baker, the world's first black superstar. I'd love to see more details of the records from which the many snips were taken, or indeed, hear them in full. A couple that excited me were the first recording of Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika, and a lively song with the tune which I heard recorded as Boodle-Am-Shake |
