Outsiders: Bongo Joe Records w/ Ondanaconda
"We are pleased and truly honored to share this two hours playlist of songs featuring the jaw harp, an ancient and versatile instrument still vivid worldwide. The selection is neither a documentation nor a best of and does not claim to be exhaustive in any way. We went through a recent history of recordings and some of the musics that shaped our curiosity for this instrument. The jaw harp has been played in a large variety of musics, folk, blues, pop, rock, orchestral and film music, electronic and electroacoustic, and from different angles, thanks to its diversity in shape and sound., as you will notice in the track list below. Songs played by virtuoso soloists using traditional or experimental techniques meet simple yet essential additions in songwriting. We thought this approach would be a nice way to fulfill this invitation to compose a playlist related to Ondanaconda and our first release as a jaw harp ensemble. We hope you will enjoy listening to it as much as we did during the composition."
