  1. Hi Moos,
    First, I want to thank you for all the music you’ve been sharing – you have a great collection and you are very generous! Regarding African System Orchestra, they have more than two LPs. I have the following – “Bad Friend”, “Fine Country”, “Canon Kda Kum”, “Sa Majeste Bokassa 1er” and “God Help Me”. These were all released during the late 70s to early 80s, and I think they have at least one more release. I have the LP you posted, by African System International, but I don’t know anything about them. I suspect they are an offshoot of African System Orchestra as they sound very similar.

  2. I am very sorry Reebee,

    I am not familiar with that group, I took a look at your page and am very much impressed by your drawings, absolutely great.
    Big compliments !

  6. I know I’m posting in an old post but I have to.
    If both African System Orchestra and African System International is from Nigeria, why are they singing in Lingala? I need to find that out.

  8. judging by the photo, it’s the same band minus Abeli Kelly (who earlier sang in Congolese band Thu Zahina http://www.retroafric.com/html/sl_notes/014cd_3.html) and I think Bruno Bonyeme from Thu Zahina is in there too? – so a mix of Congolese, Cameroun and Nigerian musicians? and hence the mix of styles? If someone knows we all need to know 🙂 Well deserving of the sort of in depth treatment which Matthew Lavoie recently gave to Orchestre Kiam https://thewealthofthewise.blogspot.com/2018/04/orchestre-kiam-kings-of-cavacha-oral.html
