Is it possible that you will be putting together a compilation of this wonderful music into a cd?

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to release a soundtrack for this music.

Thanks much, esp. for the album references! Nice to see my “guesses” about Miriam Makeba were probably right.

Thanks! Ayub Ogada is one of my musical heroes. I wish more people knew about him. I’m looking forward to checking out some of the other songs. Great choices!
