Howdy, Interesting discussion. after hearing african pop music(Malcolm Mclaren's, 'Duck rock"), I searched for years to find his backing bamd. turns out it was Malathini and the Mahotella Queens. After that it was king Sunny Ade. What I want to know is this. the mahotella Queens sing 3 part harmony, but it does not sound ANYTHING like western 3 part harmony. What notes or note in the traid is different/ How are their harmonies constructed. Very intriguing. Not to mention that ifI were a guitar virtuoso,it would be along the line of those two bands. Always dancing around the theme of the song, not blasting power chords or playing blazing lead lines. just constantly interweaving myself into the mix. rig rig --- Kelly Coyle <skcoyle@gmail.com> wrote: > Nothing about music, but I knew a (white) guy in > Kentucky who said he never > felt at home anywhere until he moved to Kenya.
