Hey music lover! Finally I made it through your gazillions of postings and d/loaded about 85% of everything. Just trying to keep da links alive. You’re welcome! ;]
Or, now I guess I’ll have to retire to listen for the rest of my worldly presence. Rock on & all the best from Berlin
Um, did I forget something?
Thank you! Sweet sounds all around. This is one of the great preservation projects of human knowledge. Big props.
Not to forget your informative commentaries on every release. Wow.
Thanks Moos! Doctor is perfect for these lazy afternoons.
Sweet! I’m slowly plowing through my numerous Congolese downloads, and Dr. Nico is fast becoming a favorite. Thanks for the introduction!
What cruelty! I’m in Seoul with only an iPod Touch, and you’re posting all this great music… First Fantastic Chico, now Docteur Nico… and I have to wait until Friday before I get a chance to download and listen… Nevertheless, thanks very much for sharing these albums! Marc
Merengue President, sure, but Mamu Wua Mpoy is a surprise that makes it all worthwhile.

Excellent posting. Been looking for this for years now. I think it is a 1962 album. Pls check again. In the meantime, do you perchance have Yokolo Part 2 by African Fiesta Sukisa? Yokolo Part 1 is available, but the Part 2 is extremely rare.
