Friends introduced me to this guy. The album is named
‘mazzel’, and mazzel is something he certainly had. Leo
Fuld was a jewish folksinger who was born in Rotterdam.
Now he had the mazzel ( luck ) to realise it was best
leaving Holland and move to the USA in 1939. As we
all know he probably saved his life doing so, a little
later Rotterdam was bombed and many died in the
second world war that began in the next year.
Something quite different then you are used
to find here, a little change can’t hurt though.
Wonderful atmosphere, slightly gypsy,
warmest voice, lots of emotion..

It’s no news, Ghanaian records are hard to find in mint
condition. The first side of this album sounds pretty ok
the second side begins with a lot of noise. Unfortunately
it doesn’t get much better along the way. Let’s see what
we have here. City Boys International Band of Ghana led
by Obuoba J.A. Adofo found a load of happy listeners
already. Part from the soundquality the album is very
good, especially side one stands out to my humble
opinion. Side two is quite damaged but I recorded
it anyway for you to know what we’re missing.

I am so sorry side two sounds really terrible !

P.S.
We had an “Ankwanobi” of their hand already,
same pistol-shaped guitar on the front. The one
we have today is different however, other version
of the title-song and other accompanying tracks as
well. Today’s version is slightly better I think.

tracks;

01 – Ankwanobi
02 – Monsu name
03 – I have no father ( damaged )
04 – Dabia menko mewuo ( damaged )

If you are as crazy about vallenato as I am, you will
surely appreciate another Miguel Duran album. His work
never disappoints, strong rhythms and Miguel Duran’s
wonderfull voice taking turns with his great
squeezebox skills, jumpy bass, just the
way we like it most. Get it
now & enjoy listening..
