I think I have been a little over-productive this weekend, but
that’s okay. I had a good time ripping all these old LP’s again.
I use to transfer them to CD first, using a Sony CD Recorder.
A pure audio device, not linked to PC or what so ever.
Then I rip that ‘mother-CD’ at 320 kbps using Winamp Pro.
It’s a process that takes some time but gives great quality rips.

This is Global Sampler, vol. 2, it samples the posts from between
May 13 and May 19.
Global Sampler vol. 1, covered May 6 to May 13.
Have fun with it !

Finishing post this Samba-Sunday is for an oldie. From 1964
Ed Lincoln comes in with a quite different type of samba.
His albums became wanted collectors objects after some dj’s
worked on his tophit ‘Cochise’.
‘A Volta’ is an LP he made after recovering from a car accident.
You can hear and see he’s happy to be walking around again.

Jorginho do Império is back with another great LP.
Ever since I heard this LP first time, it was a clear thing, this
one’s here to stay ! Very fine album by Jorginho, a must
have for every samba-lover. Listen.

Quite a bit younger is this LP by Roberto Ribeiro. I think it
is one of his very best. It was waiting on the pile for this
samba-sunday apparently. Enjoy these 12 great compositions.

This Sunday is Samba Sunday !

From 1972, these are ‘Os Batuqueiros’, together with ‘As Mulatas’
they provide us with a splendid piece of early 70’s samba.
With songs of Paulinho da Viola and Martinho da Vila on RCA,
this can’t go wrong !

tracks;

1 Partido alto
2 Ninguem tasca ( o gaviao )

It must have been 6 years ago, when I saw ‘Cidade de Deus’
in a local theatre. When ‘Preciso me encontrar’ by Cartola
came by, I was deeply impressed and had to find out what
it was immediately. Since the day I discovered Cartola,
I’ve been in love with his music. This album is só beautiful,
I don’t say this often, but it is almost perfect.
I am certainly not the first blogger to post it but it felt
almost like an obligation to rip it once more.

tracks;

1 O mundo é um moínho
2 Minha
3 Sala de recepçao
4 Nao posso viver sem ela
5 Preciso me encontrar
6 Peito vazio
7 Aconteceu
8 As rosas nao falam
9 Sei chorar
10 Ensaboa
11 Senhora Tentaçao
12 Cordas de aço

I decided to help you Global Groovers a little bit in finding
what you like on this page. The idea is to bring you a series
of Samplers, starting with volume 1 today. Each volume will guide
you through my previous posts in chronologic order.
So, vol. 1, track 1, is a song from the very first post by
Dr. Victor Olaiya. track 2 is from the second LP, by Guillermo
Buitrago, and so on. Volume 1 covers the first 18 albums.
After some time the series will give a complete overview of
what we have to offer. I created the cover from a collage
I made, called “Chupa”. Hope you digg !

tracks;

1 Dr. Victor Abimbola Olaya – Omo pupa
2 Guillermo Buitrago – Grito vagabundo
3 Os cinco crioulos – Arrasta a sandália
4 Tapper Zukie – MPLA
5 Rubao – Madeira de jequitibá
6 Rochereau et Franco – Ngungi
7 Partido Alto, Nota 10 – Malandro demais vira bicho
8 Raymond Naptali – Gimme gimme sensemillia
9 Alcione – A volta do mundo
10 Mighty Composer – Child training
11 Papaíto – Que no muera el son
12 The Twinkle Brothers – Miss labba labba
13 Aracy de Almeida – Você me paga o que fez
14 Sam Mangwana – Tika nasakola
15 Sister Nancy – Pegion rock
16 Os Originais do Samba – Saudosa maloca
17 Lord Kitchener – Get up and get
18 Clara Nunes – Tributo aos Orishás

We’ve seen them before on this page, some weeks ago.
When ‘Merengue’ was born, they were there at it’s cradle.
This is an oldie by ‘Damiron y Chapuseaux’, exept for the
titles, no information is given. Hope you like it.

tracks;

1 Arrimate cariñito
2 Para vigo me voy
3 Mañana
4 Cosa linda
5 Tropical rhapsody
6 La culebra
7 Bonita
8 Piruli
9 Santa
10 Se boto el bongo

From 1962 this is quite a rare album. Co-produced by Ed Lincoln,
I’m under the impression that he is also playing on some of the
tracks. This LP is a true collector since many dj’s used it for
their sampling activity’s. The warm sound of Pedrinho’s voice
captures you straight away, my favourite #; ‘Salgueiro chorao’.

tracks;

1 Pourquoi ( Néga sem sandália )
2 Tem que balançar
3 Vivendo de ilusao
4 Baiana das 4 saias
5 Salgueiro chorao
6 Confissao
7 Falsa Baiana
8 Mulata assanhada
9 Eu nao tenho onde morar
10 Aconteceu
11 Conformaçao
12 Tristeza de nós dois

What we have here is something quite special.
Some time ago we had ‘Etoile de Dakar’, now an LP from
before that time. This is ‘Star Band de Dakar’, already with
Youssou N’Dour but for instance also ‘Laba Sosseh’ sings his part.
Funny thing, track #3, ‘Danguele Fasso’ was written by
Larry Harlow. Youssou N’Dour sings on track 4 & 5.
Fantastic playing by Assane Thiam on ‘Tama’.
I’m sure we got some happy Global Groovers right now !
