Codona was Don Cherry, percussionist Nana Vasconcelos and sitarist Collin Walcott, they made three studio albums for ECM in the late seventies and early eighties. Usually dismissed as World Music Fusion, they probably weren't the coolest band ever, but here is their fourth album, Codona 4, which is primarily made up of live tracks selected from various concerts in Switzerland and Austria 1978 -1982 that have a lot of chanting, african rhythms and very repetitive minimalist patterns. Don Cherry is featured on kalimba, vocals, and dousen ngoni (african harp, simliar to kora).
