	再入荷です！MM誌12月号輸入盤紹介で深沢美樹さんが紹介されていました。曰く「ん〜、まいりました」!! というわけで、労作です。本年度複刻大賞（ワールドミュージック部門）間違いなしでしょうね？ＳＰ録音とアフリカ音楽を愛しているコレクター / 愛好家にして研究家じゃなければ編むことはできない４ＣＤにして懇切丁寧な大部解説書（英文）だと思います。音質も素晴らしいし、ＣＤ及びＣＤトレイ＆ＢＯＯＫにおけるＳＰレーベルにまつわる様々なデザインも秀逸だし、珍しい写真も満載だし〜選者 >>ジョナサン・ワードに拍手を贈りたいと思います。スタンディング・オベイションでうよ。で、その内容、１９０９年から１９５０年代の音源まで、すべてＳＰ音源であり、ＬＰ〜ＣＤ時代を通してすべて未複刻音源（ということだそうです）！そのうち３分の１ぐらいは出張録音じゃないでしょうか。ほか、コンゴやガーナ、西アフリカ、あるいは北アフリカ〜エジプト、そして南部・東部アフリカ、マダガスカル、インド洋まで、地元ＳＰレーベルの勃興期の音源が加わり全１００曲です！エル・アンカやムハメド・ベン・ハマディ、ＥＫニャメやカレンダー、ブラックビーツ・バンド、クワ・メンサー、ジャン・ボスコ・ムウェンダ、フライング・ジャズ・クィーンズ等、名の知られたアーティストも並びますが、収録曲の多くは未知の歌手 / 音楽家が並び、東西南北アフリカ全域のポピュラー音楽の萌芽を聴かせる芳醇にして新鮮な響きが全編で繰り広げられています！そして何より、つまらない曲がないところがまた凄い！アフリカ音楽ファン、あるいは前世紀前半音楽ファンの皆さま、必聴ですよ！〜ま、円高ということもありますが、このお値段は絶対お得の逸品です！ところでタイトル“オピカ・ペンデ”はリンガラ語で、頑張ることとか、抵抗することを意味する言葉のようです。
