Next in line here at the Global Groove is this album by Duo
Los Ahijados. It was formed by the brothers Cuco and Martin Valoy
from the Dominican Republic. That’s more or less all I can tell about
this LP, and of course that it’s a great listen for you summer evening.

tracks;

1 El borracho
2 El trust de los tenorios
3 Nube gris
4 El nuevo suavecito
5 Rosita
6 El rezador
7 Pasito tun tun
8 Porque no ha de ser
9 Capricho
10 Miguelito

You know, mostly when I tell you something about the LP that
I’m posting, I get the information from the internet. To be honest
I often don’t know sh*t about it. I am no specialist in any genre,
and just believe my own damn ears, that’s all. Let’s turn things
around for a while, I post the music and info from the album that I
just like and you provide us with decent background information.
How’s that for a change ? For instance, I only suggest that the
words written under the titles ( backsleeve, in capital ) are titles too.
They might aswell not be. Can you clear up this matter for starters ?

1 Medley
– Yene me nka
– Mewu a na mobesu me
– Abusua ne wo ara
– Papa ma me bi nni

Hello Groovers, I have been too busy to keep up the normal pace but today I
finally found some time to post another LP. What do we have here ? From 1985
comes this fine album which contains two tracks sung by Josky Kiambukuta
and two by Ntesa Dalienst. No O.K. Jazz this time but a formation probably
just for this occasion. Another great piece of Congolese music to lighten up
your weekend. Mayika and Michelino show they know how to pull a string too.

tracks;

1 Medecin de nuit ( Josky )
2 Ballon d’or ( Ntesa )
3 Saad ( Ntesa )
4 Kozanga… pasi eh ( Josky )

If we speak about calypso from Trinidad, I think the best material is
that from the late sixties. Quite hard to find are the albums on ‘Sounds
of the Caribbean’, such as this LP. The Duke of Iron is one of those
great artists from that era who really made a difference. Check them
naughty lyrics and you won’t be able to get that grin of your face all day.
Sorry, I’m secretly peeping into your room, hè hè.

tracks;

1 Miss Constance
2 Monkey calypso
3 Under cover man
4 One gone
5 Rye saly water
6 Samson and Delilah
7 Wide screen

This Franco album from 1985 is a real classic. Most of you’ll
probably have it long time already, if you don’t, do not hesitate.
Mario was one of ‘Le Grand Maître’s’ biggest hits and should be
part of your Franco collection without any doubt. Just the thing
for your easy sunday afternoon, enjoy once more.

tracks;

1 Mario
2 Likambo na moto te
3 Ekoti ya neube

This is a re-post. I did this album at the very beginning of the GG
experience. Papaito and Roberto Torres are both great singers in
Son-Cubano. On this LP one presents the other but also participates,
Roberto Torres can be heard in the backing vocal section. This is the
type of Latin music I can’t seem to get around, sweet son…azucar..

tracks;

1 Mi chiquita quiere
2 Caramelo a kilo
3 Que no muera el son
4 En mi triste agonía

It is always a great feeling, searching for nice music on a record-fair,
and than finding a whole box full of rarities. This is what happened at
the last fair. A big pile of Pathé Marconi’s and Sonafric’s in top quality,
changed of owner that day. You lucky bastards have no idea how
I was driving home, I can hardly wait for the next fair.
Listen to this treasure by Max Massengo and realize, this is gold.

I received some kind requests for Sunny Adé and it just so happens
I had this one waiting to get posted. It is Vol. 4 from the Master
Guitarist Series which were recorded in the famous London EMI
studio’s at Abbey Road. Sunny Adé, still without ‘King’, performs
these 10 songs with his Green Spot Band, enjoy.

Emerged from Les Bantous de la Capitale, le Trio CePaKos ( Celio,
Pamelo and Kosmos ) co-founded this Orchestra, ‘Le Peuple’, the people
in 1973. Three vocalists who needed a new band while the band they left
was in need of new singers and recruited Théo Blaise Kounkou, Pambou
Tchico Tchicaya and Joseph ‘José’ Missamou.
From 1975 to sweeten up your life.

I would like to dedicate this post to those 4 nice French
people who visited my little shop this week. You were so enthousiastic
about finding Congolese music here, enjoy it very much !

In 1963, Paa Steel Kwame Ampadu started the eight piece African
Brothers Band. After scoring a huge hit with ‘Agyanka daberemu’
in 1966, they went professional in 1967. This is the group’s second
LP and must be from about 1973 when they counted 16 members.
Fantastic Ghana highlife from one of it’s main performers. The LP
also contains Pachanga, Cha cha cha and such, check it out.
