MELANESIA, it read -songs and games from Bellona. A carved wooden mask on a bright yellow background, who could resist?
This was the first ‘World’ album that I bought, it was the late 70’s & I’ve been collecting ever since….
This is a mix of a few favourites, old an new. From Snake Charmers in Northern India, to Bluesy, Trancey, Funky an even some Eretrean reggae…Enjoy…
