Good morning groovers, let’s do some Congolese music today.
It’s still gonna take some time for me to find the drive and energy
needed to start re-uploading all our lost files. Many of you keep
requesting for older posts of which the links are still dead. For now
please do not ask for re-ups, it’s not gonna happen for the time being.
Meanwhile we can listen to all the stuff that’s been waiting for a well
deserved spin like this collector, Cercul Jazz, Negro Band and
Negro-Succes with Franklin Boukaka.

tracks;

1 Cercul Jazz – Pont sur le congo
2 Cercul Jazz – Nitouani ya mbi
3 Negro Band – Journal dipanda
4 Negro Band – Mokili ekoningana
5 Negro-Succes – Kobota elengi kobokolo mpasi
6 Negro-Succes – Tombe mire spa
7 Negro-Succes – Nabosana soseti
8 Negro-Succes – Que tenga hora

Just got notified that Ghana celebrates it’s 55th independence
day today. Good idea to bring you some Ghanaian music, thanks
Kwabena. City Boys Band has been here before, mostly with sole
highlife but today’s album also contains some Calacala and Afrobeat.
Real cool outfits the Boys are wearing, don’t you think..? Look & listen.
Happy Independence Day Ghana !

Good afternoon groovers, welcome home at the global. Many of
you are waiting for a certain upload or another. It is very hard to
find the energy to re-upload all my files. I guess the hangover of
Mediafire’s action to delete all our 1197 files is kicking in a little
late. Maybe I didn’t allow it at the time being. Other topics on my
prioritylist are fighting for supremacy right now and for the moment
re-ups’ll have to wait a bit. I reckon you understand and give me a
break. A fresh new post like today’s shall occur as often as usual.
This is the first time they appear at the GG, Tumba Africa from
Nigeria, five songs from 1978, sleevenote; “A collection of talented
musicians has arrived to blow your mind.”,
..signed, Emeka Onuorah.
better judge yourself…

This week I received a request for some juju, fuji or apala.
It’s been some time but we had her before at the GG.
This is a type of music I enjoy once in a while but know
absolutely nothing about. The rhythms are overwhelming
and I think Queen Salawa Abeni has a huge voice,
why don’t you give it a try ?

Good morning groovers, today we have another lp by the great
Bob Akwaboah. Wonderful Ghanaian highlife you don’t want to miss.
Please take the music and spread it, the more people listening
to it, the better. Give copies to your neighbours,
your friends, your parents and collegues.

Okay, let’s do some samba. Carnaval is over more or less but
that doesn’t matter with this timeless music. In the series ‘Música
Popular Brasileira’ this is a collector of various sambas from the
early seventies. It concerns songs used by the Samba schools
from Rio de Janeiro from 1970 to 1976. baixe rapido e escuta..

tracks;

1 Carlos Cachaça – Não me deixaste ir ao samba
2 Geraldo Babão – Nega, o que queres de mim ?
3 Alcides Lopes – Cidade-mulher
4 Jamelão – Exaltação à Mangueira
5 Clementina de Jesus – Moro na Roça
6 Elza Soares – O mundo encantado de Monteiro Lobato
7 Conjunto Velha Guarda da Portela – Vida de fidalga
8 Conjunto Velha Guarda da Portela – Quantas lágrimas

Carnaval is over and I didn’t post any Brazilian music, you are
right Fabricio, it has been a while. Tried to make one but I failed
and now it’s determined to wait some more. Soon come. Today it is
time for Congolese treasure. I don’t know a year on this one, no
personnel, it doesn’t give us any information. Info or not, listening
to this great lp is no waist of time. Find more on Pamelo here .

By the way, files labled ‘Zimbabwe’ are Up again !

1 Selimandja
2 I’m sorry darling

For this fine saturday I’ve got something a whole bunch of
you go crazy about. It is another lp by one of those Ghanaian
groups who recorded in Nigeria. Opambuo International Band
of Ghana brings us this typical sound. Ghanaian highlife with
a Nigerian sauce over it. Being a heretic I regret one title but I
just love the sound of it so it got through anyway. The album
is on Rogers All Stars and from 1982, guaranteed topnotch
production, it’s rare, it sounds beautiful, better take it quick.

I am sorry I didn’t re-up anything during the past few days,
just too damned busy to find the time, today I
did some 20 highlife albums though,
stay tuned and hang on…

tracks;

1 Kiss me and smile
2 Me kuta me korah
3 I pray to god
4 Maye maye anye yie
