We’ve heard some of these tracks on an album I posted earlier.
It was a very popular post I remember, in fact it is the third
most downloaded lp at this site. John Chibadura’s sound is a
thrilling one. I wish I had a couple of his other records but
you never know what the future brings, listen to the essential..

01 – Nhamo yatakawona
02 – Hupenyu hwangu

Take a look at this page.
Sungura from Zimbabwe is a style we haven’t seen much yet.
If you liked the Simon Chimbetu album, better try this one too.
Jivin’ east African sound, impossible to remain seated material.

Good evening, the past few days engineers have been busy
making the final ajustments and testing the new page. This
weekend the Global Groove is about to migrate. We are
moving to the following URL, https://www.globalgroovers.com
So no more blogspot and no more webhosters to spoil the fun.
I am very happy to announce the new and independent GG.
From next week you will be redirected to the new adress when
visiting us, don’t be surprised it’s all been planned carefully.
You’ll find all the old posts, from the very beginning in 2008
untill today, copied and restored. Downloads will come from
the GG’s own dedicated server so NO bloody body can throw away
any of our precious files again. I want to ask fellow bloggers to
change the link on their pages when relevant from this week-
end, that would be really nice, thanks in advance.
We will appear without thumbnail of our latest post, that is
a shame but there’s no way when using WordPress as we do.
Still, thumbnail or not, I’m gonna continue preserving the old
and almost forgotten gems from the past. African, South
American and Caribbean grooves can be found here as
usual and we’ll start with some of the hottest pacific
stuff imaginable, better be there.

For now, Jonah Moyo with one of the older albums in a re-post.
To make you remember, loads of goodies waiting for y’all …

Goodmorning groovers, today’s contribution is one I really
enjoyed ripping for yall. Jonah Moyo’s guitar is uncomparable
with any other. Sparkling chimurenga from Zimbabwe you don’t
want to miss. We had a couple of his wonderful albums before
and I can tell you, it is not taking very long anymore before they
shall all be available again. The work on the new page is getting
along quite well and if nothing goes wrong next week, I think we
can launch around the end of this month.

We have got some goodies waiting for you when the new Global
Groove goes online; Bavon Marie Marie, Grand Kalle, Empire
Bakuba for example, we’ve got various Pinduca’s and samba
from Brazil, Guillermo Buitrago, Alejandro Duran, Pedro Laza
and other Colombian highlights, Haitian Compas, Ghanaian
highlife, Salsa, Juju etcetera..what is your favourite music ?

What have we got for you today ?
I guess the Blacks Unlimited were at the peak of their
performance days when they made this here album in
1983. Maybe it’s just me but it sounds so fresh and
sparkling, almost like it was recorded yesterday.
I must say I am a big fan of Thomas Mapfumo’s
jivin’ chimurenga, it brings one in a type of
sweet trance you want to stay in for ever.
Get it, spread it & enjoy it…

tracks;

1 Nyarara mukadzi
2 Temerina
3 Handina mwana anozochema
4 Nyoka musango
5 Kambiri kaenda
6 Emma

Hello out there, what’s up ? Here at the GG things are
slowly finding their way and soon we’ll have everything
running without interference. In the meantime to keep up
appearances this lp by Thomas Mapfumo. It’s from 1995

modern sound. Still undeniably sweet, listen..

The Bhundu Boys, 5 guys from Zimbabwe who mixed
chimurenga with pop music and other European and
American styles. They were quite popular in the eighties.
This is one of the albums that made them known in our
part of the world. Listen to the style they called ‘jit’.

Wanted to post this LP way earlier, however because of
a disturbing series of ticks and tacks straight from the
beginning, I posponed it a couple of times. Today I decided
to post it anyway and fade start past the disturbance. You
must know that we miss a couple of tones consequently.
It’s a shame our Thomas kept his handkerchief wrapped
around his microphone, other than that it sounds cristal clear.
Still, worth a couple of spins, I leave you with this ‘chimurenga’
from Zimbabwe which we didn’t have for quite some time.

tracks;

1 Hwahwa
2 Murambadoro
3 Chitima nditakure
4 Chamunorwa
5 Hurukuro
6 Nyama yekugocha

As we get closer to the worldchampionship of football, we slowly move
southwards in listening to African music. Some Zimbabwean chimurenga
is exactly what we need now. Jonah Moyo and Devera Ngwena, their sharp
guitars and superb singing, oh man, I just love this.
