Eversince the first time I laid my ears on it, I was
a fan of the music of Thomas ‘Fats’ Waller. He sounds
just like he looks on most pictures. Behind the piano, big smile,
eyes balled at the ceiling. Listening to Fats always makes me
instantly happy. Check these 16 songs, volume 8 of his ‘Complete
Recordings’. Volume 113 of RCA’s series Black & White. This
volume covers songs from 1935 and some sound better than
others. I think this compilation is quite outstanding, get it
and play it with your sunday breakfast.

One of Nigeria’s greatest performers of highlife was most
certainly ‘Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe and his Nigerian
Sound Makers International’, quite a mouthful. He made over
30 albums of which this is the 5th at the Global Groove.
Check our search option for a quick launch of the others.
Just two 16 minute tracks but what great rhythms.
The B-side of the album wasn’t centered right so by
the end of the track it gets a bit false unfortunately.
Hope you enjoy it anyway.

1 Ogbahu akwulugo
2 Star social club of Nigeria

This 1986 album concerns Pépé Kallé and his Empire Bakuba.
Pépé’s voice always captured me for having such nice rough
edges. He remains one of my favourite singers and therefore
one of the Global Groove’s shining stars. This LP’s sleeve
speaks of stars and shows us several stars,
let them shine through your speakers,
bling swing and do da ting.

To spoil you all a bit more, this album by Les Kamale.

Good evening, tonight’s post is one you can’t miss. I found this album in
such wonderful condition, it’s some 31 years old but spins as new.
I think I made a mistake, the file-tag says 1977, sorry. It is from 1979.
You can change it yourself maybe. Part from the state this LP’s in, it’s
music is also fantastic, I’m sure you’ll agree. Play it loud and dance
your socks off. Orchestre Stukas rocks…

1 Libota

If you are familiar with Discos Fuentes de Colombia you
know that pretty women go together with their music. So
when I thought about a cover for this collector of Colombian
sounds, the choice was easily made. It’s all about the music
of course and you know I’m serious,
..ahem, let’s dance till dawn.

It’s friday evening 19.00 hrs. In a hour I shall be going to de Vorstin.
Our brandnew stage, and tonight we’ll have Mark Foggo, Ska from
England. I am asked to amuse the crowd with ska before, in between
and after the bands. Hope it will be crowded so I can shake up the place.
To be able to play ‘Please don’t bend’, I made a cd of this album. Loaded
it up for the ska-lovers among you aswel, enjoy Desmond Dekker.
