Catching up on Ibibio Sound Machine today and came across this nifty cover by them of The Cure's "A Forest"

Is he playing French percussion or percussion in a French style?

Better explanation: chekere is an alternate spelling of shekere

I think the tradition in jazz is to either bill everyone or nobody (other than leader) on front cover

It’s not like rock where on back cover you say in small letters “assisted by”

Instrument is pivotal on bossa nova music

well maybe not in Quebec
google led me astray, I can't vouch for that.  Even disogs was kind of weird on the subject of what exactly Garvin did as it has him listed as Shekere

can confirm, still the person playing rarely gets billing on the front of an album (although I'm no expert on this topic)

Discogs likes to use consistent names for instruments and artists. For a new submission, when you start to enter an instrument, it will show accepted names that can be entered. "Chekere" is not found but "Shekere" shows up as an option as soon as you type "she". But for clarity, you can enter an alternate instrument name in brackets after the acceptable instrument name, e.g. "Shekere [Chekere]". This is done a lot for particular synthesizers.

For artists, every artist has a standardized name plus any variations ("Artist Name Variation (ANV)"). ANVs are shown with an asterisk by the name. For example, there is State Of Alert and S.O.A.

This concludes your Discogs lesson for the night.
