Crazy multiculturalists, experimentalists and improvisators, KAHONDO STYLE represented in 80's one of the most idiosyncratic attempts for making original music against geographical and stylistic separations.Collecting (or stealing) sound elements from any corner of the planet and unifying, at the same time, both structures and improvisations under one elastic form, KAHONDO STYLE created original music with plethora of references... music exotic, humorous, surrealistic, theatrical, strongly rooted to the far-east culture, to eastern and south europe folk traditions, to old jazz, to pop...

Why not sharing the complete versions of these two gems ?

Thanks for sharing this compilation of the two albums. It would have been nice for the complete albums. But thank you anyway. These sounds are filling my kitchen whilst I kneed bread, I also have a sick owl for company - I think she's enjoying Kahondo also!!
thankyou, paramo - heartwarming wonderful music, very much appreciated! you certainly will have your reasons for sharing a compilation of those 2 albums.
cheers! :D
p.s.: today zipangu shared another nato gem on his blog 'big in japan' - the only tjohban djan lp.
dear friends, thanks for your interest about this post.
Godard, your words have drawn a dreamy extention of Kahondolands into our sowl.
Lucky, one of those (many) reasons is that i'm sending you the whole "Green Tea & Crocodiles",(which is the best of two) for posting it at your blog (if you have no objection, of course).
