OTB: Live at Mt. Fuji (Blue Note). I'd never paid any attention to this band, but this thread made me want to check out this album. The band is good, but Kenny Garrett is on another level. I don't want to overstate my case, but the contrast between the rest of the band and Garrett illustrates the difference between professionalism and inspiration. Then:

Pierre Barouh's label, most sessions produced by Daniel Vallancien (studios also hosted recording sessions for BYG, probably others). I bet brownie could chime in with more info.

I've got some of the easier-to-find Saravah LPs - Fontaine, Steve Lacy, Cohelmec, Jacques Higelin, plus the Trio Camera reissue. Lots of nice stuff, ranging from freaky French folk to free jazz. Have yet to score the J-C Capon LP on the label, or the Nana Vasconcelos solo.

Akendengue is from Gabon; gorgeous, folky Afro-pop.

The Saravah website!

A recommended compilation of the label's output:

Evan Parker: Live at the Finger Palace (The Beak Doctor)

I've been searching for this one for some time. I'd like to find a copy under $70, but so far most have been in the $100 range. I have heard it via a blog, and it is a great listen. It will definitely be in my collection some day.

Saravah Samba - I mean, the tune was played by Barouh in "A Man and a Woman," but other than the fact that it was later the name of his label, I know nothing about the reason for the name.

It is also the title of a great Barouh film shot in Brazil.

Now playing:

Babs Gonzales - Tales of Manhattan - Jaro (mono)

It seems to be out of print now, but the whole thing is/was on Youtube in numbered segments.

Baden Powell is incredible in this film. There is a beautiful scene with shots of the ocean while Powell sings and plays "Yemanja" from "Os Afro Sambas." There is also a picnic/jam session scene in which Maria Bethania is completely baked.

Mmm... I've been hit and miss on Qbico. Quality of pressings was sometimes dicey and the special editions were almost never worth what he was charging. But he got the music out there.

I didn't think Continent was reissued, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the heads up on Continent. I'll look into that LP.

I just finished spinning the entirety of the Tchicai/Geerken on Qbico, and the pressing is more of a "miss" than a "hit" (especially my side 4). It is still a good listen, and I'm grateful for the release.
