Last friday we had Master Mwana Congo visiting the GG, today we've got another of his albums with Freddy de Majunga. More firm soukous to make you dance across the floor.

His real name was Ignace Nkounkou, but we know him better as Master Mwana-Congo. Master Mwana played with dozens of Congolese artists, his guitar was one of the most heard on records of a range of stars. Under his own name there's only a few. Today's album has no year of release. Like most it[...]

The only thing we can do is listen to it, enjoy doing so. One downside, better skip #4 .. ( a sad weepy ) Goeiemorgen, een Congolees album vandaag met[...]

For this sunday we've got another album with Theo Blaise Kounkou. It has no year of release, but I suspect it to be from the second half of the eighties. Once more Theo brought along Master Mwana Congo and to my pleasure Lokassa ya Mbongo and Dally Kimoko. Some keys are present, not too many[...]

For the straight soukous lover we've got this one with Fidel Zizi today. A French record dealer once explained to me why this is a funny name. Fidèle stands for reliable and zizi for a certain body part. You can easily guess. One way or the other, the line-up on this album is quite strong.[...]

Some people have the strangest way of thinking the Global Groove is some kind of jukebox. Sending me personal mail telling me to post a wishlist of 10 albums in the next few days, pffff, what do you think this is..? Fortunately most of our visitors have the decency to wait and see what's coming[...]
