It’s been a while sice we had us music from Nigeria’s Etsakor
region. Today we find this album with Queen Orete. She comes
with her Ijawere Dance Band. On many of her records they are
called Ijewele Dance Band. There is no year of release known
of this elpee, but that doesn’t spoil the fun of it. Nice Afenmai
sound with mellow guitar and voices. Enjoy listening ..

het is alweer even geleden dat we muziek hadden uit Nigeria’s
Etsakor regio. Vandaag hebben we een album met Queen Orete.
Ze verschijnt op deze plaat met haar Ijawere Dance Band terwijl
ze op veel van haar werk met de Ijewele Dance Band optreedt.
Een subtiel verschil. Geen jaar van uitgifte is bekend, maar dat
mag de pret niet drukken. Fijn Afenmai geluid met relaxte
gitaar en achtergrond gezang. Luister met plezier ..

One of our visitors reminded me of Gilberto Torres,
one of the great vallenato artists of who I only posted
one album. Promised to do some others, starting with
this one from 1975. We did find him on a couple of col-
lectors in the genre. Lovers of vallenato attention,
it is quite a good record ..
P.S. Don’t you just love his style of clothing ?

Éen van onze bezoekers maakte me erop attent dat we
van deze vallenato artiest slechts één album hadden tot
dusver. Ik beloofde hem er nog wat te brengen, te beginnen
met deze uit 1975. We vinden Gilberto Torres wel op enkele
verzamelaars in het genre. Liefhebbers opgelet, dit
is een tamelijk goede plaat ..
P.S. Vind je z’n kleding stijl ook niet super cool ?

Good morning groovers,
Something different today, do you remember our friend Jillem
and his great blog Holland Tunnel Dive ? Ever since his complete
archive got lost Jillem had to quit his works, such a shame. A lot
of music and the possibility to download also got lost. Today I’m
posting one of his files so you can still access it. I hope that’s
okay. Find Jillem’s notes below. Thank you for ever Jillem ..

The two Portuguese-speaking African islands of Sao Tomé & Principe,
located in the Gulf of Guinea, created an unique music called puxa :
refined mixture of various musical components from both sides of
the Atlantic ocean. A blend of semba, merengue, kompas, soukouss,
coladeira patterns, often pushing forward with a voodoo-like energy,
solid bass lines, delicate melodies and backing harmonies of the rich
Sao Tomean melodic traditions. Bringing together Sao Toméan puxa
and rumba with soukous guitar rhythms. born in 1944, Lima began his
career as a teenager with his family band Os Leonenses, and was active
until his death in 2019; Lima’s support for the revolutionary MLSTP party
earned him the title of ‘the People’s Voice of the Island’.

One of Colombia’s most distinct voices belonged to this
great singer. Lucho Perez or Lucho Argain, also Luiz Perez
was especially famous for his lead vocals with La Sonora
Dinamita. But also solo he made lots of records. Today’s
entry does not have a year of release, but is a decent
contribution to his work here ..

Éen van Colombia’s meest herkenbare stemmen behoort
aan deze geweldige zanger. Lucho perez of Lucho Argain,
ookwel Luiz Perez was voornamelijk bekend door z’n lead
vokalen met La Sonora Dinamita. Maar ook solo maakte
hij tal van platen. Vandaag’s album heeft geen jaar van
uitgifte, maar vormt een degelijke
toevoeging aan zijn werk hier ..

Good morning groovers, sorry I’ve been absent for two weeks.
Have taken a trip by car to England, Wales and Ireland. The canal
tunnel is a great way to pass, in half an hour you’re on the other
side, car on a a train. It was wonderful, especially Irelands west
made a great impression on us. Rough landscapes.
What have we got for you today, a swell album from Zimbabwe.
Orchestra Dendera Kings ‘Marxist Brothers’ made astonishing
music, this one is from 1986, enjoy listening ..

Goeiemorgen groevers, het spijt me dat je twee weken niets
hebt venomen, we waren met de auto naar Engeland, Wales
en Ierland. De kanaaltunnel is geweldig om over te steken,
auto op de trein. In een half uurtje ben je aan de andere kant.
Het was prachtig, vooral West Ierland heeft een diepe indruk
achter gelaten, die ruige landschappen.
Wat hebben we voor je vandaag, een heerlijke plaat uit
Zimbabwe. Orchestra Dendera Kings ‘Marxist Brothers’
maakte zeer toffe muziek, deze is uit 1986.
Luister weer met plezier ..

During the nineties we listened to a whole lot of so called
lounge music, electronic mellow sounding, sometimes avant
gardistic, music. I tend to play that stuff again these days. Nice
memories of a era that moved. This French album was always
one of my favourites. Get it & spread it ..

Tijdens de jaren negentig luisterden we veel naar zogeaamde
lounge. Elektroniese lekker rustige, en soms ook freaky muziek.
Dezer dagen draai ik het soms weer met veel plezier. Herrinne-
ringen ophalend aan een periode die me dierbaar was. Deze
Franse plaat was altijd een van m’n favorieten ..
