• Hailing from Osaka, Hammond B3 organist Akiko Tsuruga played with jazz superstars such as Roy Hargrove and Grady Tate while still in Japan.

“I co-wrote ‘Sugar Ditch’ from World Wide Open (1996) with Michael Dan Ehmig, who is one of my all-time favorite co-writers. Our collaboration led to ‘Muddy Springs Road’ and ‘Stone Cold Blues,’ which are both included in this collection. I chose ‘Work Song’ from Swing Land (1999) because recording with David ‘Fathead’ Newman was one of the greatest highlights of my career. Two of my favorite songs, ‘Girl’s Got Rhythm’ and ‘Wall of Pride,’ were co-written with my friend and manager, Kevin Wommack. ‘Wall of Pride’ is about the pride I have in my family heritage and my southern Mississippi roots. “‘Built For Comfort’ by Willie Dixon was recorded in Denmark with my friends Rock Nalle and Magic Slim.

I identify with the lyrics of the song because I’m 300 pounds of muscle and joy, and I’m certainly not built for speed.”

• Teta hails from Ampanihi, a village located on the long track connecting Tulear and Fort Dauphin, right in the Great South region of Madagascar.

• Born in 1967, he grew up in the midst of the traditional music style called Taspiky, traveling with his father and brother who performed at celebrations and traditional ceremonies throughout the region.

• Starting guitar lessons at age eight, Teta quickly earned the nickname “the nimble-fingered guitarist.”

• His fingers dance on his guitar neck with surprising dexterity, seeking the most unexpected harmonic sonorities as well as typical rhythmic figures.

• Teta has always remained faithful to his origin and to the fast, bewitching 6/8 Tsapiky rhythm, which accompanies all festive events and trance ceremonies throughout the region.

• Having regularly performed with artists of differing musical sensitivities, Teta is especially fond of wandering into the world of jazz and blues.

The newest installment of Buda Musique’s Ethiosonic, sister series to the celebrated Ethiopiques line, featuring the amazing Kronos Quartet!

• Thanks to the Ethiopiques collection, a growing number of covers of Ethiopian standards have appeared all over the world, and the passionate statements of such first-rate aficionados as Elvis Costello, Patti Smith, Tom Waits, Jim Jarmusch, Robert Plant, Gilles Peterson, John Zorn, and Kronos Quartet (to name but a few) is very gratifying indeed for the “philethiopian” musical cause.

• In the never-ending list of critical praise for Buda’s revival of Ethiopian musical culture, the most recent entry includes a high-profile appearance in TIME magazine story “Swing State: Jazz-Mad Ethiopia Rejoices at a Musical Revival.”

• Stemming from the Horn of Africa, the peaceful musical expansion of Ethiopia seems to be boundless, both in geography and style. On every continent of our planet, dozens of bands have taken up the challenge of the Ethiopian groove, paying tribute for pleasure and fun.

• Ethiopia’s post-war musical heritage has gained numerous descendants of all creeds and colors, who share a passionate determination to honor it as outstandingly as possible. This means celebrating it in their own styles, which span soul, funk, Afropop, punk, jazz, electronica, experimental and ambient music, string quartet, symphonic orchestra, and much more. There is enough material to release half a dozen of jaw-dropping CDs!

Martin Luther King Jr. was a minister, a Nobel Prize winner, and a civil rights activist who inspired millions of people to reconsider the way the United States treats its citizens. He is a man whose legacy is still alive, and still inspiring people, four decades after his untimely death. Many laws guaranteeing equal rights to all Americans were created or changed as a result of his foresight, passion, and vision. Today, we remember his dream that all Americans can live together in peace and quality regardless or race, color, or creed.

American Biographies Audiobook Series • Hour-long audiobooks present biographies of key Americans geared to 6–12 year olds.

• An excellent way to introduce children to the most influential men & women in American history.

• Great for listening to in the car, on an iPod or MP3 player, or as bedtime stories.
