Quite some time ago, some of you asked for music by
these guys. I am not the man to tell you a whole lot about them
but the most important thing, I have some of their work. From
1988, Emeneya Emerite and Victoria Eleison with ‘Kimpiatu’.
With such a name, one doubts about the meaning of the lyrics,
I don’t understand the words, but I do love the sound.

tracks;

1 Kimpiatu
2 Isbond
3 Mobali ya ngenge
4 Soiree dansante

In Sunny Adé’s Master Guitarist series, this is volume 2.
It was recorded in the London EMI studio by Tony Clark.
Some juju to spend your thursday with, hope U like.

tracks;

1 Ile labo sinmi oko
2 Dr. Sehindemi
– Oshodi lo’lepetedo
– Late Rex Lawson
– Aiye ema ma pa

The track by Orchestre Kiam on number 3 of this album, was
also on Their LP with the title ‘l’Afrique Danse avec Sakumuna’.
It is called ‘Kamiki 1&2’ on that one and ‘Bamo kangi’ on this one.
Then on track #4 we find Verckys doing some funk, let’s say he
was experimenting something new. I like his own sound better.
Rumba or funk, it’s another piece of history, directed by Verckys,
with four of Africa’s greatest groups ever, check that out.

tracks;

1 Orchestre Kamale – Ayidjo
2 Orchestre Lipua-Lipua – Bongisa maloba
3 Orchestre Kiam – Bamo kangi
4 Orchestre Vévé Star – Bassala hot

Hello groovers, slowly rebooting I’m squeezing
one out for ya. Not full speed yet, hang on…

From 1975, this collector with at least 5 authentic
Guineean tracks. Wonderful music by superb musicians.
What the .. could have been the idea behind Makeba’s
participation on this album. Commercial reasons I suspect.
Coincidentally track 3 has some bad snaps,
it wasn’t me …honestly…

Enjoy this nice music.

tracks;

1 Bembeya Jazz National – Super tentemba
2 Horoya Band National – Were were
3 Myriam Makeba – Malouyame
4 Keletigui et ses Tambourins – Miri magnin
5 Bembeya Jazz National – Mami wata
6 Super Boiro Band – Darinole

I got caught by a cold, awful, head stuck, snotty party.
Bèèh, can’t think straight. Lp is from 1979, songs are older.
Written by 1 Lutumba Ndomanueno, 2 Josky Kiambukuta,
3 Mayaula Mayoni and 4 Lola Djangi, enjoy.

tracks;

1 On ne vit qu’une seule fois
2 Bisengambi
3 Momi
4 Oyangani ngai na moto

Here’s an other LP on which the African Brothers console
the bereaved using words like allah, jah and god. Personally,
I would rather read some Lao Tse on a moment like that, but who
am I ? On this 1982 LP, we miss one title. The sleeve speaks
of three songs while the actual vinyl counts four. Can you clear
up this mystery ? What’s the name of track 4 ? Thanks in advance.

tracks;

1 Owuo aye me bi
2 Ne nko ne me ho asem
3 Kyeremaa ( medley )
4 ???

To stir up your friday night with dazzeling funkiness, soukous
like you haven’t heard much before. Pépé Kallé’s Empire
Bakuba outstrips it’s self on this 1985 LP, the album has
a certain magic. It is different, groovy, just the thing for you.

tracks;

1 Kabambare
2 La terre sainte
3 Mwana-Gabon
4 Il n’y a pas de sots métiers

Hello groovers, there’s something I wish to tell you for
some time now and today seems a fine day to do so.
I am a non-religious person. I know this is a strange
phenomena for some people but in our country I think
more than half of the population is. Money and religion
are the two biggest causes of war in the world and for
one, that’s a huge reason to be like I am, without religion.
In the music that I post, maybe more often than I realize,
religious utterances are made. I wish to keep aloof from
this. It’s the music that I love to hear, often I don’t even
understand the words but that’s okay with me. The
‘groove’ is the most important thing and also the
reason for posting an album. If you think I am a bad
person, that’s also fine with me, I know I’m not and stick
to my feeling about this. So if Chief Commander Ebenezer
Obey speaks of religious things, those are his words,
not mine. Okay, I’m glad I made this clear, I am not
open for discussion but just wanted to make this
statement. Still, hope U like and enjoy.
Peace, love, happiness and health to all !

Today’s post is giving me trouble from the beginning. First, my
image moderating program refuses to rescale my coverpic.
Then after rebooting it finally works. I spent an hour to remove
the permanent marker with which some former owner wrote
his name on the sleeve. Trying to upload the image, blogger
refuses my upgraded photo. Damn, lots of work for nothing,
I am already happy blogger accepted the unfixed picture.

Good, let’s forget about the stress and continue to bring
you this LP. Two famous voices on one album, Nyboma
Mwan-Dido and Madilu System, le Grand Ninja. I have no
idea in what year it was released, somewhere halfway the
eighties I presume. With Pompon Kuleta, Odette, Kiwa Kana
Aime, Lokassa ya Mbongo, Mayaula Mayoni, Dally Kimoko,
Nguma, Arsene Kunde, Djudju and Nado. Hope U like.

1 Voisin

15 songs recorded in 1966, 1967 and 1968. African Party
volume 2 was posted in january 2010 already and now
here’s the first volume. A bunch of classics

splendid collector.
