Our Own Voices 6 - Expose Yourself to Trikont

The German Trikont label is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Trikont is Germany's oldest independent record label. The Munich company was founded at the height of the student rebellion at the end of 1967, initially as a publisher for radical left wing books including Che Guevera's Bolivian diaries. In 1971 Trikont added a record label to its operations, documenting outsider music from around the world. Trikont's motto "our own voice" continues to reflect this ideal today. With almost 500 releases under its belt the Trikont catalogue covers the widest possible range of roots music styles - from Finnish Tango, Rembetica and African Rap to obscure Americana, Deep Soul, Cajun and Zydeco. This 3CD set features 52 cuts from Express Brass Band, Girls of the Golden West, Hank Williams, Karl Hector, Rita Abatsi, Francis Bebey etc.
