Poderosa AAINJALA – 150 Tambores
Roughly translated from the indigenous Wuayuunaiki language of Bogotá, Colombia, AAINJAA means “to do, to elaborate, to manufacture, and to build.” More about this popular massive ensemble here.
Rising Appalachia plays roots-based music righteously. Leah Smith (aka Leah Song) plays banjo, bodhran; Chloe Smith plays guitar, fiddle, and banjo. Name of the song is Greasy Coat.
Kitty, Daisy and Lewis perform Polly Put The Kettle On live at the 2012 Pickathon Pumphouse Sessions in Portland, Oregon. Kind of a quirky family group with an unknown surname from London, but they’ve got an aura of cool retro going. This song’s a cover (written by A. Miller) but dang if I can find the original artist.
[Update:Sonny Boy Williamson recorded it as Polly Put Your Kettle On in 1947, and is credited as the writer on RCA Victor 29-2521-B.]
Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats are awesome, even if some of their song patterns are a bit familiar. Wasting Time fits my mood these days.
See you tomorrow, rain or shine, and maybe we’ll do something.

Not knowing the original artist for “Polly Put The Kettle On” bothers me. Yeah, there’s that nursery rhyme song, but this ain’t it.

Update. The song is a cover of Sonny Boy Williams’ original Polly Put Your Kettle On from 1947. Don’t know why it took me so long to figure it out.

Something else made me smile. Apparently the sisters of Rising Appalachia are activists of sorts, and among other things, Chloe Smith is concern about “cultural appropriation” …as her sister plays the banjo. 😀
