I just knew one song by this artist, it came from a Discos Fuentes
collector and is called ‘Esperando a Patricia’. You might have found
it on my Colompilation vol.5. The lp we have here today was found
for us in Cartagena by my friend Sanjay who brought us loads of
wonderful albums already, it came home with him recently.
It is one of the rarest lp’s at the GG and I’m proud to
bring to you today. So, do not hesitate if you like
Colombian music, get it & spread it..

Yesterday we tried to support Ghana with it’s game
against Germany and it seems we booked a tiny succes.
They played 2 – 2 and it was a great match. Last night we
had Nigeria against Bosnia-Herzegovina, I am too late to
give them our support with this lp but they gained their 3
points anyway. Listen to I.K. Dairo’s tribute to the Green
Eagles of Nigeria and enjoy, 1976 juju from the top shelf..

tracks;

1 Irohin ayo t’ode b’awa
– Ohun t’ojuri ni addis-ababa
– Green Eagles
2 Bi mo ba r’ajo
– Lawrence idonije
– Ere mi a d’ale
– T.o.a. ajiboye
– Adeniran aluko
– Iku ye l’ori mi tefetefe

On the web I saw them call this soukous highlife, the highlife
side is dominant for my account. Today Ghana plays it’s
second game at the world championships and this one is
meant to support them. With Germany as their opponent I
guess they can use some extra backwind. Guitar and
organ go hand in hand on this lp and the sound is, part
from some minor crackle, fresh and clean. Horn
arrangements and vocals round up the atmosphere.
Most of their albums are produced in Abidjan, Cote
d’Ivoire, as was this one and I’m not sure if they
were stationed there as well. When listening,
don’t know about you but
I couldn’t keep still..

He made quite a bunch of swell records, Chief Stephen
Osita Osadebe is back at the Global Groove after a year
or so. The 12th album by his hand we post, the other 11
shall be made available again in some time. This one is
from 1991, one of his later but not lesser lp’s. His Nigerian
Sound Makers were still going strong, just listen and agree,
thirty minutes of sweetness, ..get it & spread it..

Dear Wim, Yann, Abudaiyo, I’ve got another wonderful
slice of compas for you. Everybody else is welcome to
get it too off course. Mellow summer tunes to lighten up

one short weepy but overall sunny melodies, enjoy..

For the first time at the Global Groove, we have Colombian artist
Dolcey Gutierrez. On Sonolux and from 1980, this is quite a
joyful album. Vallenato with it’s jumpy basslines and swell
rhythms is one of my favourite styles from Colombia.
Quite different from cumbia, a bit faster but
with accordeons, just listen and be
happy.. get it & spread it.

Speaking of football, or soccer, whatever you prefer, I decided
to make a collector about it. It begins with a track from a cd
full of 78’s collected by John Peel’s wife. Nice old song, in the
middle we have two African songs, one Colombian and another
oldie with the Marx Brothers. On no.13 we have a track sung by
no one less than Pelé, with Sergio Mendes and on 20 a quite bad
Dutch caranaval song by our own Johan Cruyff, you wont believe
your ears. Most songs are Brazillian and about the famous Rio-club
Flamengo or Pelé, get it & spread it…

Some visitors asked for more benga. It just so happens I had
one waiting for y’all. Funny thing about benga, I mentioned before,
it seems all titles are person’s names. It’s the only type of music
in which we see this I rekon, That is as far as I know.
the D.O. stands for Daniel Owino Misiani, “the Grandfather of Benga”.
He was the founder of the most famous benga group called Shirati
Jazz. Born in Shirati, just south of the Kenyan border, he has been
playing benga since the mid-1960’s. His style is characterised by
soft, flowing and melodic two-part vocal harmonies, a very active,
pulsating bass line that derives at least in part from traditional nyatiti
and drum rhythms, and stacks of invigorating guitar work, the lead
alternating with the vocal. ( the Rough Guide )
Daniel Owino Misiani died in a road traffic accident in 2006, aged 66.
He was still an active performer at the time of his death and left two
wives and 14 children.

P.S.
I’m affraid I placed one small miscut, the tracks are so close to each
other it was difficult to skip tracks correctly. from track 3 to 4 it is
slightly wrong but if you play it as a whole you wont notice.
