 You can hear the non-vinyl Korean ones again here.
More vinyl posts coming soon!

I also just found this awesome site that has a World Instrument Gallery explaining the construction and function of all different kinds of musical instruments from around the world. It has them all categorized by instrument type and has everything from a kora, to a koto, to a kyi zi all with pictures and explanation of how each instrument is played. Go scope it out!

Finders Keepers Records


Hey all you world music fans,

 I just found this awesome UK-based record label called Finders Keepers that specializes in rare world music vinyl reissues and that you "should expect the Japanese choreography records, space-age Turkish protest songs, Czechoslovakian vampire soundtracks, Welsh rare-beats, bubblegum folk, drugsploitation operatics, banned British crime thrillers and celebrity Gallic Martini adverts... presented on CD, 7" and traditional black plastic discs in authentic packaging " So if this sounds intriguing check out their mp3 section or if you're really into it and down to pay some international shipping (that is if you don't live in europe) definitely check out their vinyl selection. Down below is just a small sampling of some of their album covers.

That's all for now! Be sure to check out Sounds Imported Today (Feb 
14th 2010 on wvum.org and on 90.5FM in Miami.



Peace!
