    Moos – Thank you so much for all of the effort that you’ve made to get these albums on-line. Thank you for reuniting me with all the albums that I’ve been looking for for years and for introducing me to new material as well. Bless you…

    I saw these guys in October 1989 at Harpos in Victoria BC Canada. Charge at the door was $8 and I would have paid $80 (CAN)

    Simply mind blowing show. they really “swung it”

    i will never forget that night.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for posting these. Hard to find African music in the US, particularly these out-of-circulation or orphaned albums. Only have one Bhundu Boys album that was released as a remastered CD about 10 years ago.
