On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Musick that Needed Work - S: Suns of Arqa

 

Suns of Arqa was created by Michael Wadada (Michael Albert Ward or Michael Mafia) in 1979. Suns of Arqa is a sonic mission that began when Michael received higher guidance while working with roots reggae chanter Prince Far-I  in Jamaica. 

 



Suns of Arqa as a prolific travelling music collective has been continuously investigating the supernatural potential hidden in the ancient Hindustani raga systems. with Piobaireachd & Nyabinghi roots drumming, creating ritualistic world music infused with Dub & reggae, deeply spiritual vibrations that merges cultures, faiths, & musical genres. The lyrics combine both mystical & sensory elements, often including prayer, referencing a higher power but finding roots in experiences common to all people: memory; sight; physical sensation.

Mixed by none other than Adran Rydims (Adrian Sherwood).

    You may certainly propose The Suns of Arqa Muslimgauze mixes for my listening pleasure. I've had the CD since early aughts. I listen too it often, but not often enough. Your reminder had me dragging it out & slapping it on the player. Thanks so much, greatly appreaciated. & thanks also for the link so that others might also enjoy. Lotta Muslim/Arqa lovers around here.

    By the way, you've shared a number of great links here (you're the only one still using pw: on your links...old skool) before. Why not intoduce yourself more personably. If it's an issue with Google, just sign or tag your comments. Anon seems so removed for me. But I'm just saying.
