Goedemorgen lezers en luisteraars van de Global Groove.
Allereerst wens ik iedereen een mooi, vredig en gezond
2020 met veel fijne muziek, liefde en voorspoed. Laten
we het nieuwe jaar en decennium openen met de zeer
gewaardeerde highlife uit Etsakor. Vandaag een plaat
met Queen Orete and her Ijewele Dance. Er is verdomd
weinig over de queen te vinden. Haar highlife gaat op
deze elpee vergezeld van zeer relaxte gitaar klanken.
Lekker mellow het nieuwe jaar in, luister ..

Good morning readers and listeners of the Global Groove.
To begin with I want to wish everybody a wonderful, peaceful
and healthy 2020 with lots of nice music, love and such. Let’s
open the new year and decade with the widely apprecia-
ted highlife from Etsakor. Today a record with Queen Orete
and her Ijewele Dance. Very little is known about the queen.
Her highlife is accompanied by very relaxed guitar sounds.
A mellow start of the new year and decade, listen ..

The four bands we find on this collection of miners songs
have a quite similar sound. Maybe because they all share
the same bassplayer, Thomas Maseko. The musicians were
based in the Orange Free State of South Africa but all come
from the majestic mountain land Lesotho. Love the groove ..
