African Retro vol. 4 – Various Artists Pathé Marconi / EMI 1977

African Retro vol.4, front

Good morning, how are you groovers today ? I hope very well.
I’ve been holding quite some records with the idea to post them
as soon as the new page would be ready. Now the work takes
so much more time then assumed upfront, some of the treasure
needs to find you folks with precedence I reckoned. This swell
collector on Pathé Marconi contains some of the best rumba’s
by Franco’s O.K. Jazz. Tracks from the hand of Franco himself
but also by Edo, de la Lune, Vicky and Brazzos. Recorded in
1960, 1961 and 1962 but re-released in 1977. Don’t miss this
lp, another piece of Congolese musical inheritance.
Get it & Spread it !

    Hello Moos,<br /><br />Thanks for this wonderful record, I enjoy to re-listen Micorasson, this song is a real gem!!! Also, is there a chance to hear the mysterious Orphée Jazz on Global Groove? Strangely, this band has only recorded three pieces (Congo Oyé, Ma Yolande, Eugénie), as far as I know.<br /><br />All the best.

    Very, very nice, Moos. I just purchased the Paterson&#39;s Western Jazz Band release, and between that, and this, I am one very pleased old fogey tonight.
