A couple of weeks ago I tweeted a picture of a record from 1926 that is very possibly the first ever in Esperanto. Here's my full write-up about it, including audio of both songs: https://t.co/Od4B5rAvPX

This wonderful old #Esperanto record of "Al la Fratoj" and "La Tagiĝo" was recorded on 16 July 1926 and was issued as part of a two-disc set (the other disc was two versions of "La Espero"). It's very possibly the first ever commercially-released recording of Esperanto music.

Today is #BurnsNight, a celebration of the life and works of Scottish poet Robert Burns, so it's the perfect occasion to play this #VinylRecord of Burns's songs and poems in #Esperanto by Nobel nominee William Auld and singer Margaret Hill. More info: https://t.co/rzcWozf3JP

3. Festoj de Kristnask' by Amplifiki - released on cassette in 1990 and has been completely unobtainable for years. The Eo Wikipedia has a tracklisting, and a scan of the album cover (attached) was published in Rok-Gazet' in 1995.

Ĝojan Kristnaskon! There isn't much Christmas music in Esperanto - just three albums that I know about: 1/

2. Dum Kristnaska Tempo by Ralph Glomp - most traditional German in an electronic style (in two different versions): https://t.co/niRRBaroqN 3/

Mia hodiaŭa artikolo temas pri unu el la plej fruaj #Esperanto-albumoj - kaj ankaŭ mi petas helpon, ĉar mi nur trovis tre limigitan informon pri Duo Espera kaj sia disko Jen Nia Mondo. Mi tre ŝatus scii pli pri tiu ĉi grupo! #muziko

[Esperanto Music History @eomusichistory]

Today I'm looking at one of the oldest Esperanto LPs, and have a request for help - the information available about Duo Espera and their record Jen Nia Mondo is very limited, and I would like to hear from anyone who can tell me anything more about them!

Today I'm taking a look at possibly the most commercially-successful band ever to sing in Esperanto - one of the biggest rock bands from Slovakia: TEAM.
