This version of Vintage Recordings (1964-1966) 6 Tracks-12:28 Min. comes as a 1xCD. - .. 1964-1966Wouter Swets (1930?2016) was a well-known and notable Dutch ethnomusicologist, musician, composer, teacher and writer. Through lectures, workshops, radio programs, scholarly articles, polemics, CD reviews, and performances with his orchestras ?algija and Al-Farabi, Swets inspired countless music lovers and musicians to share his passion for the musical traditions of the Balkans, Anatolia, Arabia and Central Asia, his understanding of which was rooted in the massive collection of beautiful melodies he collected over his life. Even though he would have argued that ?world music? does not actually exist as a genre, he has often been called its godfather in the Netherlands. These are the only recordings of ?algija?s first line-up, originally issued on EP (7? 33? RPM vinyl). As far as we know, they might be the first Dutch world music recordings altogether, at least in this particular genre.
The album is very charming, a typical product of the 1960s, that is, of young people exploring music they found infinitely more interesting and exciting than the rather dire music that was popular in the Netherlands at that time. But while the emerging Dutch pop scene took its inspiration from the west, ?algija looked east. The EP is basically a compilation of rehearsal room recordings, taped between 1964 and 1966, with the same recorder Swets used for ethnomusicological fieldwork. At that time, Swets? band members were still students. In 1967, they left ?algija in order to be able to focus on their graduation and then have careers, to the great dismay of Swets, who founded a new ?algija ensemble that existed from 1969 to 1995 and acquired international fame.
