Second LP by the great Oliver de Coque at this page is this one.
The title is more or less the same but this one is from 1977.
First side contains two tracks although they appear to be one. I
didn’t try to devide them, chanceless if I would.
Don’t you just love that outfit ?

tracks;

1 Oje mba ewilo / Odi ili eri aku special
2 The tragedy journey of two friends
3 Oma obi dia

It’s been 4 days since I found the time for some posts.
Been busy doing other things, but today we’re back with
something we didn’t see yet at the GG. Some time ago, one
of our loyal visitors, who lives in Paris asked me if I had
music from Haiti. At the time I was not familiar with it, so
I decided to dive into the matter. Compas is the name of this
style and it’s a happy sound. “The overall sound is sweet and
smooth and the melodies are carried on flowing guitar lines,
regulated by a characteristic rocking beat that pivots between
the hi-hat and a bass drum on the floor.”(Rough Guide)
I found this album on that fair last week. This weekend
I had to visit Paris for other matters and searched a little
for records too. I brought home some old LP’s by groups like
Shleu-Shleu and Coupé Cloué. You can expect some of those later.
For now, listen to this fine LP by Les Super Shleu.

From Nigeria 1977 comes this album by Oliver de Coque.
The Rough Guide on World Music calls him a classic Highlifer.
I quote; “..the colourful de Coque occupies a unique position
in the highlife pantheon, syncretising classic Congo guitar
into laidback highlife rhythms.”

tracks;

1 Ten commandments
2 Igwe bu ike
3 Anazo eze azo ?
4 Olumo Records Special

Hello Global Groovers around the world, today I am very exited.
I’ve been waiting and searching long time to find this LP,
and finally I did. Nelson Cavaquinho is one of my all time
Samba heroes. When I first heard these songs I was thrilled
with my new done discovery. Do you know that feeling ? It changed
my perception of Samba completely. His way of playing guitar with
those firm strokes, combined with his fragile voice that blasts of
experience. His lyrics are of such beauty, this is pure poetry.
( you’d have to understand Portugese ofcourse, sorry for those
who don’t ). A song like ‘A flor e o espinho’ still gives me
goosebumps. It touches me right in the heart.
Even if you’re not into Samba, LISTEN TO THIS LP !
This is the Blues from Brasil, Muito, mas Muito bom mesmo !

tracks;

1 Quando eu me chamar saudade
2 Tatuagem
3 Eu e as flores
4 Palhaço
5 Sempre Mangueira
6 Deus nao me esqueceu
7 A flor e o espinho
8 Degraus da vida
9 Notícia
10 Lágrima sem juri
11 Luto
12 Luz negra

Another score from the Recordfair, Juju at it’s best.
Because the artists have melted all songs together, I could
only devide it in two, A-side and B-side.

After another six months, it was finally time. Time for the Mega
Records and CD Fair in Utrecht. The one in april is okay, but the
one in november, wow, everybody took their best load of
merchandise and came over. Specially some French dealers brought
along rare stuff. Like this guy from *** Records in Le Havre.

He showed me this;

Ouza’s music had a political load and was kind of radical.
He studied and was teacher and musician at the same time,
therefore he did not record many albums. I guess we are lucky
I found this one. It is a true beauty and I want to thank that
French dealer for bringing it to us.
Senegalese music at it’s best.

tracks;

1 Bayina music
2 Wethe
3 Sama gueleme-magana
4 Dootou mala bayi
5 Terango
6 Senegal 80

Pianist Alfredo Valdes Jr. comes in at Global Groove.
he shows us plenty selfknowledge on this LP, ‘La fiesta
no es para feos’, ‘The party is not for ugly people’.
“who ?, me ? I’m not ugly, I’m Alfredo.”
Produced by Roberto Torres, great album, and great cover.

tracks;

1 La fiesta no es para feos
