Dost 1 & 2 - the prize up for grabs - get in the running with a pledge | Les Disques Bongo Joe | . They refer to themselves as “outernational” over international as they say it suggests a sound that’s more inclusive or “beyond borders.” Derya, who sings and plays the bağlama, is German born to Turkish parents. Drummer Helen Wells is Berlin-based by way of South Africa while keyboard player Graham Mushnik and guitar/bass player Antonin Voyant are both French. The collective influences they bring to Anatolian music make for a completely unique and fresh sound that both pushes the genre forward and champions its rich heritage. DOST is a Turkish word that you can translate into English simply as ‘friend’ DOST is a friend, a comrade, a brother, a sister and even more than that. DOST is the connection to keep this life and world meaningful, significant and equal. To maintain respect, tolerance & the moments of love and peace. To keep growing and learning from each other. To allow yourself and others to live their lives as they chose. This album is an appeal to those who believe in friendships; who believe in DOST. - band camp | 0:17:21 (MP3 | Pop-up) |

Vol. 1-5 (1978-1984) Box Set (Grand Prize) | Luaka Bop | Waziri hails from a small part of Edo State in southern Nigeria called Afemailand, known for being a harmonious region where Muslims and Christians live—and dance—together. And there, as a devout Muslim and an exemplar of religious piety in his community, Waziri’s music fuses Etsako/Afemai folk styles with pan-Nigerian highlife and pop to create a sublime vehicle for his Islamic philosophy that gets everyone—Muslims, Christians, whoever—on the dancefloor. Waziri made Vol. 4 the same year he traveled to Mecca and completed the hajj, and you can hear the impact of his journey in the music’s indescribably funky and spiritual potency. Every song here strikes his signature balance of traditional music, highlife, and funk, as he entreats you to stay on the straight and narrow, though there’s nothing straight about his beat. - bandcamp | 0:58:10 (MP3 | Pop-up) |

along with an FMU pin designed by Mark Newgarden, iirc -- "Nancy" but wearing a huge red bow!
the pins all have an East Orange, NJ address on their edges (the manufacturer?) so i am guessing these are from the 1980s?
