Er wachten nog steeds meerdere plaatjes in de ‘african’ 360.000
serie. Dit is er een van. Ik weet niet wat Docteur Nico zocht in
die tijd, rumbaatjes in Lingala, cha-cha’s in gebroken Spaans en
zelfs Engelstalige jerks allemaal dwars door elkaar maar wel heel
vermakelijk . In feite kan de man niet stuk, wat hij ook deed, de
kwaliteit loopt ervan af. Dus twijfel nu niet en haal snel binnen.
Nicolas kasanda met orchestre African Fiesta in top vorm..

There are still several discs in the ‘african’ 360.00 series waiting
to get posted. This is another of them. I’m not sure what Docteur
Nico was searching for in those days, rumba’s in Lingala, Cha-cha’s
in broken Spanish and even English jerks, all mixed on this nice album.
What ever the good doctor did, it was all good. So do not hesitate and
get this record as we speak, Nicolas Kasanda and orchestre
African Fiesta in top condition..

Voor liefhebbers van kaarsrechte soukous hebben we vandaag
Kanda Bongo Man op het menu. Met het sprankelende gitaarwerk
van Diblo en Rigo Star en Domingo Salsero op de trommeltjes. De
vorige plaat van deze man trok gretige aftrek hier op de groef dus
ik ga er vanuit dat deze het ook weer goed zal doen. Als vanouds
rammelt de biet stevig door, tijd voor een dansje wellicht, als je
er van houdt dan. Voor een schijf van zo’n dertig jaar terug klinkt
ie als een klok dus daar hoef je het niet voor te laten. Ik zeg
pak ‘m en donder nummer vier weg. Op de halleluja na
een lekker stukje Afrikaans rammelwerk.

English is still being spoken in the comment section.
Use a translator for the rest of the notes.

Tomorrow we’ll already live the shortest day of the year in
this part of the world. Winter begins officially but we’ll gain
a couple of minutes of light every day again and that’s very
nice. Also very nice is today’s post, Rochereau à Abidjan Vol. III
gets its turn and that completes the three volumes. I think
these albums sound just fantastic with yet another song
by Kiesse Diambu, one by Diasi Kadi and two by the late
and great Pascal Tabu Ley himself. Get it & spread it..

tracks;

01 – Tanga tanga
02 – O’hambe
03 – Fololo ya gancia
04 – Nakolanda te

Our blogfriend from the first minute Fried already told us, volume II
opens with another great song by Kiesse Diambu, named ‘Zuwa te’.
Thank you Fried and nice to hear. As said we’re working towards
volume three so listen to this volume two first. Another great
piece of Congolese musical history. Get it & spread it..

tracks;

01 – Zuwa te
02 – Tina ezali
03 – Tika nabondela
04 – Nzoto ya depenses

Always a pleasure to listen to the late and great Rochereau.
His three volumes made in Abidjan are just beautiful, here’s
part one, parts two and three will follow soon, listen..

tracks;

01 – Papy nitho
02 – Ma nono
03 – Omona wapi
04 – Ebue

Presented by the great Luambu Makiadi Franco, this is Kiesse Diambu.
We had not seen him before here at the Global Groove but we’re as
happy as possible to have him. ( After your refreshing comments I rewrote
this, we hear Empire Bakuba and not OK Jazz. ) I love the sound on this album.
Their wonderful voices, the astonishing rhythms, a real gem. Get it and
spread it the way you’re used to. Enjoy Kiesse Diambu..

Hello groovers, today’s contribution concerns an album
by an artist we can’t get enough of. Until I found this lp
it was only in my digital collection. Downloaded from
some site, I don’t remember which one, it was missing
4 of the 10 songs. Very happy to have the complete
record now. It is a real gem, better don’t miss..

tracks;

01 – Isabo
02 – Bea
03 – Nadefa nani
04 – Mama djele
05 – Bakomela pema
06 – Sakumuna 1er
07 – Sakumuna 2ème
08 – Nakoloba te tolingani
09 – Balobaka ye mbongo mingi
10 – Moise ou anne

This album contains 10 songs with African Fiesta from
1962 and 1963. The internet states the group only started
in 1963. We find songs by Depuissant, Dechaud, Izedi, Mujos
and Rochereau. No Dr. Nico songs although he should be the
one on lead guitar. One way or the other, another missing
link in the ‘african 360.000’ series, it’s number 163.
Enjoy listening..

tracks;

01 – Ngonga ebeti (Depuissant)
02 – Natuna nani (Dechaud)
03 – Mobembo eleki tata (Izedi)
04 – Eleki ndelo (Dechaud)

07 – N’soso pembe na lipopo (Mujos)
08 – Madina (Rochereau)
09 – Libaku ya nguma (Mujos)
10 – Nalembi nalembi (Rochereau)

There seems to be no end to the works of the great master.
This is Merveilles du Passé 1962 with Franco and Vicky, the
latter is the singer on all twelve tracks. If it is to me, we
can continue listening to Franco’s music till the end of
time..for now check this sweet record and enjoy..

songs you will surely like. Names we find at the
