On May 1 an ancient procession goes around , . How ancient, no one really knows. Locals may describe it as a pagan fertility rite but even their generational memory draws a blank and no living soul can put an age on it. 's Oss Oss Wee Oss (1953) is probably the best known visual documentation of the festival ☞ write.underworld.fr/settima/os

`What Morton called "Spanish" were the tresillo and habanera rhythms of the Cuban contradanza ("habanera"). Morton demonstrated the "tinge" to Alan Lomax in the 1938 Library of Congress recordings. What is known in Latin music as the habanera rhythm is also known as the congo, tango-congo, and tango`

It’s a much abbreviated Noir City Seattle for me this year, for various reasons, but I had the pleasure of catching They Live by Night and Raw Deal down at SIFF Egyptian today. Nicholas Ray is always special. Also learned that Ray did some field recordings with Alan Lomax back in the day. Small world.

"Southern Folk Heritage Series: The Blues Roll On" (1960) @vinylrecords

I recently found this sealed original Atlantic stereo copy. These can still be found at not-crazy prices.

The man on the cover was a little known Mississippi cotton farmer named Fred McDowell. There are giants among us in this world, and there are some records that are more magic than material.

I went on a spree years ago buying these collections from Rounder Records. He also went to the Caribbean, Ireland, and bunch of other places, but the Southern Journey comps made a big impact.

Probably my favorite from this one:

-ish.

My wake-up for today: the of Genoa, as recorded by the American musicologist in the 1950s. The first time I heard the whole group fall in behind the lead on this recording, it was like seeing the sun rise.
