Grateful Dead Dead To The Core Project Noteworthy Aiko Aikos (A Collection) This is a collection of noteworthy versions of Aiko Aiko performed by the Grateful Dead. It appears to be quite difficult to say much about exactly where the song comes from. New Orleans \"obviously\", but then there are claims that it was actually a Haitian folk song dating back into the early parts of the 20th century. A song called \"Jock-A-Mo\" was written by James Crawford in New Orleans -- it sounds remarkably like Aiko Aiko. The Dixie Cups, a singing group consisting of two sisters and their cousin, first recorded it as Aiko Aiko: their version went to #20 on the charts. The song is a story of two \"tribes\" of Mardi Gras Indians on parade: they collide on the parade route, and boy golly do the threats and boasts flow thick. The lyrics actually go \"Hey now, hey now, Aiko! Aiko! an de\'. Jackomo fe no a na nae\', Jackomo fe na ne\'.\" The phrase \"Aiko Aiko\" is said to be derived from the languages of Gambia: in those languages, Ago! means \"listen!\" or \"attention!\". My ear tells me that the Grateful Dead often sang it \"Aiko Aiko all day\", but, they were not known to be particularly careful in the lyric way. The collection is closely based on a list put together by Eric Wybenga and published in his book _Dead To The Core: An Almanac of the Grateful Dead_. Eric picked mostly later versions of Aiko Aiko (the band first played it in 1977), so with one exception (80-09-02) we can offer SBD versions of the songs here. Both \'86 versions in this collection are played with the Neville Brothers. Eric suggests a Sept 10, 1991 version of Aiko with Branford that I do not believe actually happened in this time-line, I have replaced it with a 10-27-91 version of Aiko with Carlos Santana and Gary Duncan. The track names are self-explanatory: they list the date of the performance, the SHNID of the source, and shortened names of the songs included in the track. Most of these Aiko Aikos are standalone. I found echos of the Aikos to come in the Drums or Space that preceeded them, so I sometimes left those attached to the song. When I could not split the Aiko from its neighbors, I included a larger jam. And of course I had to leave Woman Smarter in there (the difference? it\'s up two steps in key...). I decoded the wav\'s with flac or shorten as appropriate to the source, joined the wav\'s with shntool, edited them (in the edges and fades way) with Wavelab, fixed the bad headers with shntool, and then compressed things with flac. I used flac v1.2.1, shorten v3.6.0, shntool v3.0.2, ane Wavelab V6.
