Come Together

by Ajak Kwai

The Execrable Bede thumbnail
The Execrable Bede Not only is this a magnificent album musically, it is an act of courage and resistance, for, as the liner notes document in regards several performers, "Dinka people have suffered violent persecution in Sudan for music-making and these singers though in exile in Australia still prefer to remain anonymous."

Extremely highly recommended Favorite track: All My Wives.
