Hier hebben we nog zo’n relaxte plaat met Gesner Henry
en zijn Trio Select. Het doet je reeds verlangen naar zwoele
zomeravonden maar daar moeten we nog even op wachten.
Een voorschotje dan maar vast, kachel hoog, luister zelf..

Today another mellow disc with Gesner Henry and his Trio
Select. It makes one long for them hot summer nights but
we”l have to be patient for those. Just listen imagining
them and dream away. Enjoy listening..

    Magnificent. Completely forgot about Coupé Cloué. Thanks for the publication. Hope to see some rare Senegalese LPs in the future.

    Discovered the music of Coupé Cloué in the mid 80’s and I was immediately charmed by his warm voice. I had 2 cd’s and if I remember correctly the label was mini records. Since then I didn’t find any reissues in the record shops. So again Moos you do me a big favour by posting this. I will have to wait till Friday to listen to it. I am again more occupied with work then I want to. Life is too short when there are so many goodies to discover. Global groove is really a more than amazing blog. Thanks for sharing this with us Rik

    How could anyone fail to mention that the first track is a Kreyol version of the famous Calypso ‘Big Bamboo’ of which there have been numerous versions – most famously by The Mighty Sparrow? Coupé Cloué even sings that in this version of the song.

      Personally I think the song has been covered too much so
      I decided to leave it be. BTW, it is so very obvious when you hear it
      that I felt no obligation to mention that this is the same big bamboo..
      thank you for commenting though, if anyone has the right, it is you
      Ade, thank you very much for supporting our beloved Global groove..
