Altijd weer een feest als er een plaatje van Docteur Nico opduikt.
Dit is een van de platen die mijn Franse vriend uit Congo mee terug
bracht. Hij heeft hier en daar wat kleine kraakjes en dergelijke maar
dat mag de pret niet drukken. De dokter kan zich wel iets pemitteren.

Always a happy moment when another album by Docteur Nico shows
up. This is one of the records my French friend brought home from
his trip to Congo. It has some minor background noise but that won’t
spoil the fun. The good doctor can afford some, listen..

  1. Wow, what a find! I am a Nico addict. So thankyou for posting this. A lot of the tracks have the wrong title. It seems to happen a lot with Nico’s works, which is confusing – and some of them seem to be alternative versions or outtakes. I think the titles should read:

    01 – Bougie Ya Motema
    02 – Chantal komonela ngai te (correct title)
    03 – Jeannine (correct)
    04 – Doris akoya is sometimes called Doris or Nalingi Yo Na Motema
    05 – Munka / Nakeyi Abidjan
    06 – Felie
    07 – Mbandaka / Bandake mboka
    08 – Zadio

    The music is awesome whatever, and even the noise is great!
    By the way, do you have anything by Simba Wanyika? One of East Africa’s greatest ever bands, and I worry that their music will be forgotten.

    big thanks as always from mamboPete

  2. Thanks so much for this! I am also a Nico addict, and am grateful for the tunes as well as MamboPete’s guide to the mislabeling and such. And what a cover! Dank je!

  3. Happy new year brother Moos have a safe day and carry on surprising people with your collections.

  4. Fellow traveler is right, there are a couple of unfamiliar takes here, while the last track comes to its logical conclusion at 5:27 instead of fading out after the guitar solo. Who knew? Thanks several more times at least! And for giving souls a chance to hear the amazing Rock-a-Mambo on the African Memories comp.

  5. Hearing Docteur Nica always makes me feel better, he must have been a real doctor!!!
    Merci Moos for the sounds and Mambo Pete for the info.
    Wish you all: Happy New Year / Gelukkig Nieuwjaar / Boldog Új Évet / Bonne Année

  6. Moos, thank you so much for all that you do here. This Nico album has been my entry point to Congo music (1 week ago), and I have been digging into your archives and listening non-stop ever since. Your energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and the attention to detail are very appreciated. Thank you
