Lekan Babalola - percussion


here is an oper air show from Arena del Mare, which is an open space in the local harbour [Porto Antico], so that you can see cruise boats flowing behind the stage! More that her voice or her style of singing, I love the way styles are mixed and arranged, with predominance of the blues, and as always she leaves lot of room for musicians' breaks. It was an open air setting and the music was so low that if I had been tapping my foot, that would have been louder than the music itself, so don't expect much... but crowd was mostly respective.

note that due to disk space limitations, I will not be able to keep seeding this torrent for a long time - I will abandon the seed in a few days, maybe remove from HD these wav/flac files, and keep only my own CDR. Too many things to upload. In case of seeders going missing, enlist yourself as a leecher and some seeder will come back, and you are anyhow welcome to try and ask for additional torrenting...
checksum file included - if uploaded on other trackers or reseed (and you are welcome to do both), please include original infofile. Also, if not satisfied with my offering, you are welcome to remaster/retrack/whatever and repost, but please always clearly state where/who did you have this material from and keep original infofile. IF YOU ARE THEN OFFERING THIS SET ON YOUR BLOG AS mp3's, PLEASE SPECIFY WHERE TO ALSO GET THE ORIGINAL LOSSLESS FILES
