    Do you know how lucky YOU are to have this LP? I heard it many years ago and I have wanted it since. No luck finding it, though, until now.
    Thanks!

    Wow Moos! Ha! Ha! I reckon that even those who were born in wedlock will consider themselves absobloomingly lucky to lay their hands on this rare piece. Great to hear Nzaya Zayadio’s deep voice. I bet Vata Mombasa was plucking away at the lead guitar somewhere in these tracks. Thanks for posting!

    Dear Moos,
    I am a long time silent follower of Global Grooves. Thanks again for all of the albums you have shared over the years. I wanted to repay your efforts and generosity with a share of my own. I have been researching the Orchestre Kiam for several years and have just published an oral history of the group on my blog, along with an mp3 discography covering the group’s ten year career. You can find both at

    Thanks again for your efforts and for all of the great music!!

    Very best
    Matthew
