Top 100 2021, final list

Anaguta woman during a festival/Stanley Diamond

Stanley Diamond (1922-1991) was a Jewish American and Marxist poet and anthropologists. He founded the first critical anthropology program in the US. He recorded in Central Nigeria during 1958 and 1959, and some of these recordings were compiled on the Folkways album Music of the Jos Plateau and Other Regions of Nigeria. The track Women with mortal and pestle comes in at number 58 in the Top 100 2021. I now know all 100 songs and their final placement in this year's list as I have finalized it and the Top 100 2022 is about to start.

And here are a few more paintings all done this past week.

Jofirsti Lungisa/Dave Dargie

Both instruments depicted above are traditional Xhosa instruments played with a bow but neither is the umruhbe heard on Nandel'ekhaye (Married at home) from the collections Voices of the World. Dave Dargie, who recorded Lungisa in 1983 plays a uhadi while Lungisa holds what I believe is a mamokhorong. For a further description and a painting of Lungisa playing the umruhbe you can read last year's post.

Asger Jorn/Jean Dubuffet

These two important mid-century European painters joined forces to in 1960 to improvise on a variety of musical instruments. Dubuffet recorded these sessions and they can be found on Musique Phénoménale.
