margalynne It's demmed fine. Favorite track: Ranky Tanky.

Whosondephone I may be an atheist. However hearing a voice like that makes me believe in angels. I caught a song on a public radiostation while traveling through Tennessee. I was taken away by the musicianship and recording quality. although I may never attain salvation, at least I'll have a small taste of it. Thank you.

about

From the South Carolina Lowcountry, where life is laced with African ways, comes Ranky Tanky, a quintet with music rooted in a culture that has shaped American art, food, language and attitude. That culture, its people and their mother tongue is called Gullah.

Gullah people from the Sea Islands of South Carolina are the descendants of Africans captured along Africa’s rice coast. In the so-called new world, the enslaved toiled under the hot Carolina sun along the Atlantic coast. From this bondage came Gullah, a mixture of African and English styles.

This culture has influences across America. Scholars estimate that a third of the people of African descent in this country are the children of those shackled ancestors who came through the port of Charleston.
Today, emerging from the heart of this still fertile cultural epicenter, these four Gullah descendants and one disciple have joined together to revive a heartland of American music born in their own backyards.

A longtime fan of the Staple Singers, I love this album from Mavis. It's deep and grows on you the more you hear it. We are so lucky to have Mavis Staples still performing & cutting great records like this. She is an uplifting voice in a dark world, speaking with an integrity and grace that few posess. tideracer

Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra

supported by 7 fans who also own “Ranky Tanky”

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
