To make good digital copy’s of my LP’s I use a Sony Compact Disc Recorder,
RCD-W100. It needs special CDR-Pro Audio recordables and yesterday I was
supposed to go to the store to collect my order of them. Because I forgot
to do so, I am out of material today and could not make a normal post.
A good opportunity to catch up with the Global Samplers. This one covers
the month of june, it’s an excerpt of the albums posted in the 6th month.
I used to take tracks of every album posted but nowadays I just make a
selection. I hope it helps you to find your way across this page.

It has been a long time since I posted work of Mbilia Bel.
To make up, this is the first album Mbilia made with Tabu Ley’s
Orchestre l’Afrisa International. Their working together made
them very popular and Mbilia Bel’s stage performance was enormously
strong. In no time this was the most wanted gig in Zaïre.
Enjoy this superb LP.

tracks;

1 Eswi yo wapi
2 Lisanga bambanda
3 Kelhia
4 Quelle mechancete

Today I was in the mood for samba all day, playing lots of old
records I could not avoid posting samba tonight. This is a collector
of famous songs by ‘Os Bambas’ with the great Zuzuca’s lead vocals
on 4 out of 12 tracks. 4, 6, 9 and 12. Especially track #4 is one of
my all time favourite samba songs, ‘Quando eu me Chamar Saudade’
of the hand of Nelson Cavaquinho, Brazillian Blues. Se diverte.

In the continuing story of King Sunny Adé, we find this album
from 1987. King Sunny wears diamond leather and a golden watch
and sings about jealousy but the music’s still sweet and that’s what
it’s all about, talking drums and Hawaï guitars. Count me in.

tracks;

1 Sokoyokoto
– Honey baby
– Pegan pegan
– Jealousy
– Ere ayo
2 Late Papa Obafemi Awolowo

A couple of weeks ago, when I was on a record trip, I found this
album. Jonah Moyo brings Chimurenga with a strong guitar drive and
chorus. He writes all his own music and is highly appreciated
throughout Zimbabwe and across it’s borders.

tracks;

1 Too cheap
2 Fundisa umlomo wakho
3 Debbie
4 Madiro
5 Uchazvibvuma
6 Taxidriver
7 Ratidza chimiro chako

10 Ndinzwei vari pasi

Sonolux from Medellin Colombia released this collector in 1982.
It contains some Colombian highlites from the 70’s and early 80’s.
The cover makes you expect a quite commercial album and it does have
one or two of those tracks. On the other hand we find a few great
songs. Anibal Velasques always makes a difference and Alfredo Linares’
Tiahuanaco swings fantastic, but my favourite is absolutely track #3,
by Los Montuneros.

tracks;

1 Los Tremendos de Colombia – Ese amor
2 Darigil y su Combo – Cumbia Calentana
3 Los Montuneros – Francisco del otro lado
4 Los Alegres de San Basilio – La espina
5 Don Medardo y sus Players – La ladrona
6 Grupo Chambacu – Alhucema con Romero
7 Grupo Escala – Porque eme sigues
8 Anibal Velasques – Un poquito de cariño
9 Alfredo Linares – Tiahuanaco
10 Tamara – La limosna

In 1974, african released this here LP. It contains songs from several
years before, 1964, 1966, 1971 and 1974. Pascal Tabu Ley Rochereau
delivers as always, another great Congolese album. The past week has
been quite hectic, no time left for fun things like posting music.
Don’t worrie though, there’s still plenty to come.

tracks;

1 Mimi Ley
2 Maria Chantal
3 Palmares
4 Sata
5 Makfe
6 Silikani
7 Garba
8 Oya Sela
9 Omanga
10 Mundi

This is volume 4 in the Belle Epoque series on the african label.
I already posted volume III on september 6th. Two historic
voices on one album. It was released in 1985 but the recordings
must be from the sixties I guess. And it has a touch of Latin.

tracks;

1 Lukina
2 Malobi ya muana moto “Germaine”
3 Feli ya mama
4 Monano
5 Bina Ringa
6 Como bacalao
7 Likala ya moto
8 Bana ya lipopo

Next friday I’ll be doing another evening of deejaying in that same
local bar I did an African night not so long ago. This time it will be
an evening with only South-American music. From Salsa to Reggaeton and
from Merengue to Samba. Both Old and New sounds, Urban and Traditional.
I am getting in the mood already by posting this great album from 1975.
Rhythm and Percussion hero Cortijo is a titan, he brings us Guaracha,
Plena, Bomba and Bolero on this LP. I especially like the young female
voice which appears to be from his daughter ( if I’m not mistaking ) Fe
Cortijo. If you like some Salsa, don’t let it pass, it’s a true pearl.

Do you live nearby and want to come dancing ?
Friday, october 23
from 21.00 to 3.00
in Café ‘t Wapen van Hilversum
Groest 27, Hilversum

tracks;

1 Pica pica
2 Los aduaneros
3 Esto no es amor

Good day to you all. There is something coming up that you should know
about. Rapidshare is changing it’s policy in 3 days, I received this
message; “Your files are currently using more than 25 GB of space.
Please note that on October 20th, 2009 a new method of storage management
will come into effect. If an account is using more than 25 GB, all inactive
files associated with that account will be deleted.
Active files (i.e. files that have been downloaded at least once during the
last 90 days) will of course not be deleted, regardless of the storage used.”
Probably lots of my files will turn inactive, PLEASE report to me if you
find any dead files, I shall try to re-upload all of them, thanks.

Now about this album, Souzy Kasseys is one hell of a guitarplayer and he
made us this great LP. With the great voice of Lea Lignanzi this is an album
you don’t want to miss, it’s simply fantastic, check it out yourself.

P.S.
Please tell your friends and relatives to come and download some older
posts, it will keep them alive for at least 90 more days and
I shall need less time to re-upload them again and again and again…
Thank you very much.
