Yes, Never-Ending Mountain is nearby, A-Fu said. About a days journey. Minli looked at them in shock and no words could come out of her mouth. A days journey! After all their days of traveling, Minli couldnt believe they were so close. As soon as your dragon friend is well, Amah said, Da-A-Fu will take you there. And then you can return to your parents. Minli smiled gratefully, but as she looked at their comfortable, round, pink faces — how both A-Fu and Da-Fu leaned against their grandmother with devotion and how she rested her hands on their heads with tenderness — Minli suddenly thought of Ma and Ba. A wave of longing washed through her and a dryness caught in her throat that the tea could not moisten. Bahri Bekil is still here and is ready to give you paradise. This is his fifth offering for Shango Records. These tracks will give you chills n thrills and bellyaches in between difficult moments

So Minli told them about Ma and Ba, their struggles in the muddy fields, the goldfish man and the goldfish. She told them about meeting the dragon that could not fly and the monkeys and the buffalo boy. She told them about the King of the City of Bright Moonlight and the borrowed lines. She told them about her whole journey. And as she spoke, Da-A-Fu and their grandmother laughed and gasped and stared in wonder. Sometimes Amah shook her head, sometimes Da-A-Fu would look at each other in disbelief. But they did not interrupt once. So all of this is to get to NeverEnding Mountain, Da-Fu said, finally. We know where that is. You do? Minli exclaimed, sitting up in excitement. Really?. Purpura holds time in one hand and space in the other. This is his second offering for Shango Records.

"We told you so," Da-A-Fu murmured to their cousins. "See!" "Unfortunately, friend dragon," AGong said loudly so that all could hear, "you are too large for us to show you proper hospitality inside our home." "That's okay. We should leave soon, anyway," Minli said and turned to Da-A-Fu, "if you will still show us the way to Never-Ending Mountain?" "Of course." They grinned and Amah said, "Yes, you should leave as soon as you can. The sooner you leave, the sooner you can return to your parents. That would be for the best."A-Gong nodded when he heard Amah's words. "Breakfast, then," he said, "and then we will see our new friends off." So even though the rocky land was cold and windy, the family brought their breakfasts of warm rice porridge out to eat. No one wanted to miss a moment of looking at a real dragon.

I knew then that A-Gong needed to see the Green Tigers message right away. Da-A-Fu and I wrapped him in blankets and supported him as he hobbled to the gate. A-Gong looked grave as he examined the objects. Just as I thought, he knew right away what it meant. What is the Green Tiger saying?A-Fu asked. It says if we give him two children every month, he will leave us in peace, A-Gong said. This is the start of his punishment for us — the way we are to pay penance for our ancestors. How does it say that? Da-Fu asked.Two claw marks next to a childs clothes means he wants two children, and the vase is a symbol of peace, the moon on it means every month. So he offers us a month of peace for two children, A-Gong said. Dj Shan fell asleep in Dubai and awoke days later in Tanzanian archipelago. This is his first of-fering for Shango Records.

They must have fallen in while I was hiding from the Green Tiger. It was too dangerous to go and get more water — everyone was horrified that I had gone at all — so I used the hot leaf water to clean Almost, I can… You are definitely recovering. I had to smile. Already you are making plans. But why dont you rest for now? No, A-Gong waved away my concerns, I must learn more, immediately, before the Green Tiger does more damage.

As soon as he left I carefully rushed to the gate. The tiger had left a strange array of objects. There was a piece of a broken vase with a moon on it, a mangled childs jacket, and two deep claw marks scratched into the stone. I knew it was a message, but what did it say? The only person who would know would be A-Gong. But he was sick and dying from the tigers poison. My eyes filled with tears as I rushed inside. It was hard for me to keep from crying and I was blinded by my own tears. So, it was only when the fragrance filled the air that I realized that the water I was boiling had leaves from the flowering trees in it. SVNR (RU) opened into the hill a spacious wound and digged out ribs of gold. This is his second offering for Shango Records. This track will hold your hand as you cross the road.

He was strong and smiling, sitting straight and alert. There was no daze in his eyes and no foul blackness on his body — in fact, except for four pale raised scars on his arm, he looked exactly as he did before they met the Green Tiger. "You're okay!" Minli said as she hugged him. "Of course," Dragon said to her, grinning with happiness. "I told you that dragons heal quickly." "Yes, they do," A-Gong said from beside her. "After the poison left him, his wounds healed almost immediately." Minli was so happy to see the dragon that she didn't notice that most of Da-A-Fu's family were surrounding them in awe. "A dragon," she heard one small boy whis-per, "a real one." Maris fell asleep again in Barcelona and awoke days later in Nairobi. This is his second offering for Shango Records. This track will shake your bones. BK YATRA and Purpura are the cosmic travelers of the African continent.

When the Green Tiger discovered us four moons ago, we quickly learned he was not an ordinary tiger. It was not his color or his size, it was the anger he had for us. First, he attacked our livestock — the sheep, the pigs, the chickens — but not to eat, just to kill. He taunted us with his evil, leaving the dying animals in a row outside our door. Whatever animals he did not kill outright, died within an hour or so from the vile poison of the tigers touch. We knew it was just a matter of time before he caught one of us. We kept the children and whatever animals we had left inside. A-Gong, my husband, studied furiously, trying to find out more about this powerful monster who tormented us.

And Da-A-Fu already brought a large pot to your dragon friend, Amah said, her wrinkled face looking kindly at Minli. Yes, A-Fu said. Your dragon is doing fine. He and A-Gong were talking to each other when I brought the pot, and he even said thank you for saving him from the Green Tigers poison. Minli sat back, relieved and cheered by their words. What was the Green Tiger? Da-A-Fu said something about a magistrate? she asked. And how did you know this tea cured the tigers poison? We found that out by accident, Amah said Abhi Maisekar is the keeper of the Vintage Flower. This is his first offering for Shango Records. This track will help you to find your way home. Salas (CR) and Sebastian Hal are long days and long nights riders.

The next morning, Da-A-Fu shook Minli awake. Wake up, sleepy! Da-Fu said, pulling her up. Come on! We want to show you something. Yes, A-Fu said, hurry! Minli followed them out of the house and through the streets. It was almost as if there was a pa-rade, for all the family were coming out of their houses and following. Minli hadnt realized Da-A-Fus family was so large. There were aunts, uncles, cousins — the home behind the red gate doors was really a village of relatives. As Minli ran around through the open doors, she stopped and grinned. Because there, waiting out on the stone ground, was Dragon! Rimbu (CH) enjoys a deep mars journey in the twilight hour.

Amah poured some tea from a pot and handed Minli a cup. Minli sipped it gratefully. The steaming liquid slipped down her throat smoothly, and seemed to fill every part of her with a fresh energy. She took another sip of tea and breathed in the tangy fragrance, which smelled familiar. This is nice tea, Minli said. Thank you. Its not tea! A-Fu said. Its the medicine that cures the tigers poison. It is tea as well, Amah said. It is good whether you have been touched by the Green Tiger or not. Minli stopped drinking. Is there enough of this for the dragon? Minli asked, remembering how A-Gong had asked them to bring more medicine. Maybe we should take this to him. Da-A-Fu laughed again. Dont worry, they said, we have a lot of it! Its made from the leaves of the flowering trees. RYAN (AR) fights for what he wants to be cuz function is the key. This is his first offering for Shango Records. These two tracks will ping your pong and pong your ping. Degman, Mamazu and Kaygee are moving spirits.

Greece is home to the first advanced civilizations in Europe and is often considered the birthplace of Western civilisation. The Ancient Greeks created images of their deities for many purposes. A temple would house the statue of a god or goddess, or multiple deities, and might be decorated with relief scenes depicting myths. Divine images were common on coins. Drinking cups and other vessels were painted with scenes from Greek myths. Greek mythological major Gods believed that they lived in mount Olympus. Athena, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Dionysos, Hera, Hermes, Hephaistos, Poseidon and Zeus, the King of Gods and ruler of the mount Olympus. This is the land of Gods, full of mysteries and mythological creatures, full of passion, love and great musical tradition.

When she woke up, three round faces peered above her like plump peaches. They were Da-Fu, A-Fu, and Amah, their grandmother. Each of the children, dressed in their red waddedcotton outfits (the rip in Da-Fus pants was now patched), had little moveable stoves with them. With the heaters and all of them crowded in the room, Minli felt as if she were in a warm oven of kindness. She smiled. Good morning! Amah said. The children giggled. Good night! Da-Fu said. You slept the whole day! Pretty soon itll be time to go to bed again! Now Da-A-Fu, dont tease the girl, Amah said. Obviously, she was very tired. Here, Minli, drink this. Olendo enjoy the calmness and beauty of the sofa. This is his second offering for Shango Records. This track will seduce you with beauty and destroy you with venom.

You look so silly! If Minli were here now, Ma said, she would laugh at you. Yes, she would, Ba said, and he too began to laugh. She would laugh until she cried. Their laughter intertwined but when they looked at each other, they could see the tears forming were not from joy. Minli was so tired that she could barely remember what happened when they entered the village. She hardly remembered the clamor of people gathering around them and the loud cheers as Da-A-Fu told about the destruction of the Green Tiger. And she vaguely remembered the big, soft hug of an elderly woman who pushed her inside a welcoming house. But she did remember the cozy, lovely feeling of falling into a bed, like holding a warm steamed bun on an icy day. And then Minli closed her eyes and slept. Robin Hoshi is a gentleman from far-east places. This is his first offering for Shango Records. These two tracks whisper loudly but scream quietly.

The fish stared at Ba with its round eyes and made no sound. Please tell me, Ba said, his hands around the bowl. The fish swam noiselessly in the water. Ba was puzzled. Had the fish stopped speaking? Or was he now unable to understand? Or perhaps the fish had never spoken and it had all been his imagination? Ba placed his ear close to the water. Was that faint bubbling a whisper? He strained closer, his ear beginning to dip into the water… What are you doing? Ma asked as she came into the room. Ba jerked his head up, his ear dripping with water. Uh, nothing, he said sheepishly. Were you cleaning your ear in the fishbowl? Ma said, slightly appalled. Not exactly, Ba said awkwardly. A cross look streaked across Mas face, but as she looked at Ba, rubbing his ear shamefacedly, she did something she hadnt done in years. She laughed. Bahri Bekil is ready for a magic journey into Fifth Sun. This is his fourth offering for Shango Records. These tracks will shake you up and twist you around!!

So these seeds rain from the sky every night? Minli asked. Well, every night there is a moon, the girl said. That is why we call it Moon Rain. And you dont know why? Minli asked. Even though she was tired, she could not help being curious. Both children shook their heads and before Minli could ask more questions the boy pointed. Minli followed his hand and saw crimson gate doors painted with a cheerful greeting. Were here! he cried. Come on, were home! After the great storm, Ma and Ba worried that vast damage had been done to the village. And when the sun shone in the morning, the village looked as if it was in ruins. Large tree branches had fallen and a clutter of leaves and roof tiles and dust and dirt littered the ground. Yet, when the villagers began to clean, the storm had not harmed them as much as they had feared. Semad spreads his wings and prepares to fly. This is his first offering for Shango Records.

But what strange rain it was! Round and smooth, in the glowing light the raindrops looked like silver pearls! And when they touched the ground, they disappeared. Its raining pearls! our ancestorssaid to each other. Jewels from the moon! And they rushed out with baskets and bags, catching what they could from this strange storm. Magically, when the raindrops were caught, they didnt disappear; and soon their baskets and bags were full. But in the morning, our ancestors saw that the drops were not pearls or jewels. In the sunlight, they saw that they were really seeds. But no one knew what kind of seeds they were. Curious, they planted them in the hard earth. Shamray is forever in search of the dreams room.

Over a hundred years ago, when our ancestors were first brought here, the land of the village was barren and gray. Everything was dull and colorless, the wind cold and bitter. Still, our an-cestors worked hard. They built houses out of mountain stone, sewed warm, waddedcotton jackets, and planted seeds in the hard dirt. But, despite their efforts, the land refused to bear a single plant or flower. However, even though it looked hopeless, our ancestors continued to work. Then one night, when the moon was big and round, the air filled with a strange fluttering sound. Our ancestors thought that a great storm was coming and rushed inside. And a great storm was coming. With a crash, raindrops seemed to fall from the sky. Maxia hold Esperanza in one hand and Whispers in the other. This is his second offering for Shango Records. These two tracks have built the end into the beginning. Hoani Teano and Robin Hoshi are taking their tea in the Esperanza gates of Heaven!

And as they approached the spot, Minli realized that the yellow was flowers — in front of them was land full of blooming trees. The trees were heavy with bright blossoms and as the wind blew through the branches golden flowers showered down like rain. As they reached the trees and breathed in the spicy scent of the flowers, Minli gasped. Its beautiful, she said. The children laughed again, and the brilliant red of their clothes and the golden yellow flowers of the trees seemed to make Minlis eyes dazzle with color. drS left his lab and brought his science to the people.

Which one of you is A-Fu and which one is Da-Fu? Minli asked the twins. My names Minli. The children laughed; their giggles were like bells playing in unison. Im A-Fu, the girl said, hes Da-Fu. But you can just call us Da-A-Fu, because we are always together. Everyone does. Minli smiled. The exhaustion from the long night of worry had made her feel heavy and clumsy, but the childrens happiness seemed to carry her. Their every word seemed to be mixed with merriness; their laughter pushed her toward the cheerful yellow patch in the distance. Strangesonic is forever in the search of Luna Bloom.

It matters not, we will not sacrifice even a baby pig to him. But A-Fu and I had other ideas, Da-Fu said, interrupting. After A-Gong found out that the person who angered the Green Tiger the most was his own son — he was a king and he banished the Tiger Magistrate from the kingdom — we made a plan! Yes, A-Fu said proudly, we decided we would trick the Green Tiger into getting so angry that he would destroy himself in the well. And our plan worked! It was also a plan that we did not approve of or agree to, Amah said, shaking her head at them, even though she could not help smiling affectionately. But now young Minli, you have heard our story but we have not heard yours. We know your name and that you are friends with a dragon and we can guess you are far from home.

Zedjue and Purpura are waiting patiently for the storm.

Minli swallowed hard and quickened her pace. The wind seemed to scream a warning and even under the layer of Da-Fus blanket, she felt cold. Would they be too late? Would they be able to save Dragon? Hes in here! Minli called to A-Fu, Da-Fu, and their grandfather, pointing to the cave opening. Even before reaching the entrance, A-Gong was already holding the medicine bottle in his hand. As they rushed inside, Minli was relieved to hear Dragons rasping breath. He was still alive! But as the children and their grandfather saw him lying in the dim light, they stopped, shocked still. Archy is a man of good fortune. This is his first offering for Shango Records. This track is a twist of hope in a hopeless world. Bran (BG), Kyak and RYAN (AR) give love and hope to all lost people.
