Quite some time ago, some of you asked for music by
these guys. I am not the man to tell you a whole lot about them
but the most important thing, I have some of their work. From
1988, Emeneya Emerite and Victoria Eleison with ‘Kimpiatu’.
With such a name, one doubts about the meaning of the lyrics,
I don’t understand the words, but I do love the sound.

tracks;

1 Kimpiatu
2 Isbond
3 Mobali ya ngenge
4 Soiree dansante

The track by Orchestre Kiam on number 3 of this album, was
also on Their LP with the title ‘l’Afrique Danse avec Sakumuna’.
It is called ‘Kamiki 1&2’ on that one and ‘Bamo kangi’ on this one.
Then on track #4 we find Verckys doing some funk, let’s say he
was experimenting something new. I like his own sound better.
Rumba or funk, it’s another piece of history, directed by Verckys,
with four of Africa’s greatest groups ever, check that out.

tracks;

1 Orchestre Kamale – Ayidjo
2 Orchestre Lipua-Lipua – Bongisa maloba
3 Orchestre Kiam – Bamo kangi
4 Orchestre Vévé Star – Bassala hot

I got caught by a cold, awful, head stuck, snotty party.
Bèèh, can’t think straight. Lp is from 1979, songs are older.
Written by 1 Lutumba Ndomanueno, 2 Josky Kiambukuta,
3 Mayaula Mayoni and 4 Lola Djangi, enjoy.

tracks;

1 On ne vit qu’une seule fois
2 Bisengambi
3 Momi
4 Oyangani ngai na moto

To stir up your friday night with dazzeling funkiness, soukous
like you haven’t heard much before. Pépé Kallé’s Empire
Bakuba outstrips it’s self on this 1985 LP, the album has
a certain magic. It is different, groovy, just the thing for you.

tracks;

1 Kabambare
2 La terre sainte
3 Mwana-Gabon
4 Il n’y a pas de sots métiers

Today’s post is giving me trouble from the beginning. First, my
image moderating program refuses to rescale my coverpic.
Then after rebooting it finally works. I spent an hour to remove
the permanent marker with which some former owner wrote
his name on the sleeve. Trying to upload the image, blogger
refuses my upgraded photo. Damn, lots of work for nothing,
I am already happy blogger accepted the unfixed picture.

Good, let’s forget about the stress and continue to bring
you this LP. Two famous voices on one album, Nyboma
Mwan-Dido and Madilu System, le Grand Ninja. I have no
idea in what year it was released, somewhere halfway the
eighties I presume. With Pompon Kuleta, Odette, Kiwa Kana
Aime, Lokassa ya Mbongo, Mayaula Mayoni, Dally Kimoko,
Nguma, Arsene Kunde, Djudju and Nado. Hope U like.

tracks;

1 Voisin
2 Keva

4 Magali

Number 360.089 in the ‘african’ series is a collector with
15 songs recorded in 1966, 1967 and 1968. African Party
volume 2 was posted in january 2010 already and now
here’s the first volume. A bunch of classics
of which a few songs appeared on other albums
but still, you wouldn’t want to miss this
splendid collector.

b.t.w. shouldn’t Kasabelle (7) be Kabasele ?

On this friday evening we’ll listen to Nguashi Ntimbo. A swell
beginning of our weekend I’d say. Wonderful LP with his
Orchestre Sentima, I really can’t tell you anything useful
about them. Just play it and make up your own mind.

tracks;

1 Trop bon pt.1
2 Trop bon pt.2

The 300th Congolese post at the Global Groove.
Oh yes my dear visitor, this is wonderful. On ‘african’ we
have this 1974 album by Orchestre Bella-Bella. It is
another jewel from Congo’s seventies you don’t want
to miss. Number 360.064 was still absent in our list
but today that finally changes. The brothers Soki
wrote some fine songs and ‘african’ took care of
a nice atmospheric cover for the album.
Pure gold.

tracks;

1 Houleux-houleux
2 Youyou
3 Sentima
4 Kukulu cache cache
5 Menga
6 Bienvenu doudou

I gave you one number on the first ‘Congo, Tours de Force’
compilation. The likembé geant or ‘kisansi’ is an instrument,
used to accompany the telling of legends, at night, by the
fireside. That’s what the backsleeve tells us. This group, led
by Nkouba André or Kouran, brings us some swell songs.
I found a very short but nice youtube film, not this group,
but fun to watch. enjoy.

tracks;

1 Bouyala bua kunguna
2 Bika nzanga
3 Marceline
4 Longo luafua
5 Ndandua buyala
6 M’bongo n’kuyu
7 Weta weta
8 Nsuka ya muntu

Did you say you’d like some soukous ?
This is the album to download for you. Pambou Tchicaya
Tchico et son Orchestre Kilimandjaro are here to make
you rock your socks off. Kick aside tables and chairs
before you but this on. Shoes off, volume up!

tracks;

1 Dinamic Afro-soukous
2 Mwana ngalifourou
3 Oh! maman cherie
