On Deram, a division of Decca West Africa, this Nigerian
release of Congolese music. Quite a combination, and to
complete the story it’s been distributed by Rogers All Stars.
This volume 5 brings us 10 fabulous tracks of which we heard
a couple before. It has a few crackles but still
deserves some spinning, enjoy.

tracks;

1 Roy & Conga Succes – Mama Elisa Mobange
2 African Fiesta 66 – Savon omo
3 Orchestre Negro Succes – Ngai mwana 15 ans
4 Tabu Ley – Aon-aon
5 African Fiesta 66 – Nganda ya diallo
6 Docteur Nico – Biantodi Kasanda
7 African Fiesta 66 – Bana ya lipopo
8 African Fiesta 66 – Likala ya moto
9 Orchestre Los Angel – Rosa Okoluka Nini
10 Orchestre Los Angel – Sentiment Mama Mapasa

If I understood this right, this LP should be from 1972. The group
started in 1964 and this release must be from after their 8th
anniversary. It is truly wonderful and in good condition.
Track 1,2 and 3 go together, track 4 and 5 aswell.
Great album, great picture, all yours.

tracks;

1 Mahoungo
2 Mama Yirati mi leliwe
3 N’tsiela
4 Louisa
5 Mobali ya mbongo

On Nigeria’s Afrodisia label we find this album from 1989.
King Ubulu’s International Band of Africa’s sparkling rhythms
grab you straight away and it’s hard not to get up from your
chair and dance across the room. So don’t hesitate.

tracks;

1 Onweli egwu na amu ka nma
2 Osa asaa
3 Onu onye ba adono

Certainly I’m not the first blogger to post this here LP.
Every self respecting African music collector should have this
in their archive and I’m sure most of you already do. It’s a classic
and therefore it is justified to appear oncemore I guess. If you didn’t
have it yet, take your chance today.
With Eric Agyeman, Thomas Frimpong,
sublime highlife from Ghana.

You lucky bastards, today’s post concerns an album, what
can I say ? It is so marvelous, we don’t find them like this
every day. I posted volume 1 and 5 of ‘Les Grands Editions
Vévé’ already, now vol.9 follows. It starts off with the great Nyboma
with his Orchestre Kamale and then Verckys himself takes over.
Far before track #3 I was captured completely, true fireworks.

tracks;

1 Orchestre Kamale – Andoya 1&2
2 Orchestre Vévé – Bilobela 1&2
3 Orchestre Kamale – Assana muana mawa 1&2
4 Orchestre Kamale – Olela 1&2

I planned to do this for quite some time and now
I finally did it. A compilation of songs from 16 different
African countrys. The right order of the songs is always
tricky and most of time I later wish I chose different. Same
shizzle today, but after changing order and files several times,
this is it. The next 16 tracks made it through the final round, enjoy.

2 T.P. Orchestre Poly Rythmo – Gendamou na wili we gnannin ( Benin )

Still about a year behind, I’m catching up slowly with Global
Groove’s Samplers. This is volume 30 and handles music from
posts in august ans september 2009. Before I used to take a
track of every album, nowadays I am more selective.
Enjoy the ride.

Hello there, today I felt like listening to some Nigerian highlife.
It was about time we had us some of this sweet party music.
Although called Super 5, they appear with eight on the front
and back-sleeve. What splendid sound these guys bring here,
rolling rhythms, strings that drive you crazy and great vocal
harmony, at times just a tiny bit false but that is all part
of the charme of this group. We had an album by them on the
2nd of march this year, use the page search for fast result.
I congratulate you with your new done purchase, put on
track #2, furniture aside, volume up and let go…

P.S. I took the Liberty to call this LP after it’s first song,
a thing seen often when the album has no name.

tracks;

1 Helena
2 Master open eye
3 Vea mama
4 Original Super 5 of Africa

Long time no see. Le Grand Maître took a while to return
but here he is. A recording from 1982 on Edipop, 4 strong
tracks by these heroes. Josky, Dalienst and Ndombe Opetum
deliver their songs in a great way and Franco gives them the
finishing touch with his swell guitarwork, love his Princesse Kiku.
groove on this..

tracks;

1 Nostalgie
2 Princesse Kiku
3 Tantine
4 Mawe

Some of you might have noticed already, Global Groove’s engineers
are working hard replacing all the old Rapidshare links. Through the past
few years, more and more of our links were deleted for unknown reasons.
We thank Rapidshare very much for their service and move on to Mediafire.
Untill now I didn’t hear any complaints, so if everybody is still happy, allright.
If we keep up the present pace all should be done in another week’s time.
What have we got cooking to celebrate this huge progression ?

This is one of the finest collectors on the african label here,
from 1969 but with recordings from 1964, 1965, 1966 1968 and 1969.
We find Rochereau with his African Fiesta but also Bholen and Negro Succes
and African Jazz. A beautiful Congolese collection, Succes d’hier, yesterday’s
