[Music] Sahar Sahra – Godar
It’s not often that I run into some charming music out of Afghanistan. Sahar Sahra is one of the country’s biggest stars currently.
[Music] Saniboj Žugić – Uživo Kuća (1978)
Saniboj Žugić is a composer of electroacoustic music who hailed from Zagreb, Croatia, then part of Yugoslavia.
[Music/Theater] Libaaxyada Maaweeliska Banaadir – Naga Tag, Kac Hooyaa (Get Lost! Rise Up! Got It?)
Another treasure from Reddit, it turns out that Libaaxyada Maaweeliska Banaadir (Banaadir Entertainment Lions) was a theater group from Mogadishu who mixed talented veterans with burgeoning new talent from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, before everything went to Hell.

[Art] Adolf Wolfli (Galliki filologia)
I first came across the name of Swiss painter Adolf Wölfli thanks to a tribute album recorded by SPK leader Graeme Revell. It would be my first introduction into the world of Art Brut, or Outsider Art.
The video is a quick synopsis of his work in Greek.
[Music] Cranioclast – Vanorum Mare
Cranioclast were from Hagen, Germany, and were one of the most interesting of the German cassette label projects I used to collect. They ventured into making a couple of vinyl records and CDs, but then disappeared into the ether. They’re a group crying out for a reissue campaign, definitely.

Albert van Veenendaal/piano+prepared piano‘In many aspects a band that crosses many styles. In the challenging trio combination piano, voice and laptop, voice uses unpolished if not absurdistic raw texts light years away from any jazz historical scat reference, laptop disturbing and supporting voice and prepared piano expressions into an amalgam of unpredictable sonic adventures’.
