It’s been a while since we had Djo Mpoy. Hearing his voice is
a real treat. On this record we hear him with his friend Diato
Lukoki and their group ‘le Canon du Zaïre’. It’s called ‘Monotonie’.
A title that doesn’t cover the load of great music exposed here.
I am not sure but in Dutch the word has no positive meaning.
Except from the fact he worked with Fanco’s OK Jazz, I can’t
tell you a whole lot more about Djo. I do know this is a very
nice album, beautiful harmonies, the drummer in this band
is a sheer hero, enjoy le Canon du Zaïre, damn fireworks.

Good evening friends of the Global Groove. Did you notice ?
Our counter went over one million visitors today. Somewhere
in the beginning I once lost a counter and started over, so
it is not entirely from scratch but now it’s official. Stats say we
have over 10.000 visitors every week and a minor growth is still
visible. Thank you all for being here.
It is a very good day for an other reason aswell.
Today’s record fair in Utrecht brought us a big new pile
of old and scratchy African vinyl. Though some remain in
mint condition also. It contains material from several country’s
so plenty variety ahead. To start with an album by Kintweni Sukisa.
searching the web I find it must be Congolese but it has some
east African flavour over it. I find it very pleasant, the vocal harmonies
and stacato guitar rifs taste a little benga I think. Well, happy
home coming, stay tuned and consume today’s
catch in peace, cheers.

Sometimes it’s hard to see the logics of things, like here.
The LP’s label is quite clear about a-side and b-side but
on the back of the sleeve they turned things around. It happens
more often than you would think,..bla bla. I am really starting to
talk nonsense when I don’t know anything about the album.
It’s true about the songs though but I can’t seem to find out
anything else that’s useful. Matsuli used some of it once, maybe
he can tell us more. For now you’ll have to do with listening to it.

Today’s post concerns an album I can’t tell you sh** about.
This time yóu are supposed to give the information, please
leave us a message with everything you know about it.
Davids last name does sound familiar, who was it again?

This 1986 album concerns Pépé Kallé and his Empire Bakuba.
Pépé’s voice always captured me for having such nice rough
edges. He remains one of my favourite singers and therefore
one of the Global Groove’s shining stars. This LP’s sleeve
speaks of stars and shows us several stars,
let them shine through your speakers,
bling swing and do da ting.

tracks;

1 Soucis ya likinga
2 Perfusion

4 Simplicité

To spoil you all a bit more, this album by Les Kamale.

Their vocal harmonies are breathtaking, with the great Nyboma.
Les Kamale rock tres doucement, doucement, doucement.

Good evening, tonight’s post is one you can’t miss. I found this album in
such wonderful condition, it’s some 31 years old but spins as new.
I think I made a mistake, the file-tag says 1977, sorry. It is from 1979.
You can change it yourself maybe. Part from the state this LP’s in, it’s
music is also fantastic, I’m sure you’ll agree. Play it loud and dance
your socks off. Orchestre Stukas rocks…

tracks;

1 Libota
2 Madimbadie
3 Bomatracien
4 Na regretter

Good evening, I’m affraid I can’t tell you much about the group
in today’s post. A 1977 release on Pathé Marconi. Some of the
names of the songwriters are, Denis, Juslin, Yoka Gege, Roxy,
Kely and Hendrickx. Well that’s about it so if yóu can provide
some useful information, please do.

On Deram, a division of Decca West Africa, this Nigerian
release of Congolese music. Quite a combination, and to
complete the story it’s been distributed by Rogers All Stars.
This volume 5 brings us 10 fabulous tracks of which we heard
a couple before. It has a few crackles but still
deserves some spinning, enjoy.

tracks;

1 Roy & Conga Succes – Mama Elisa Mobange
2 African Fiesta 66 – Savon omo
3 Orchestre Negro Succes – Ngai mwana 15 ans
4 Tabu Ley – Aon-aon
5 African Fiesta 66 – Nganda ya diallo
6 Docteur Nico – Biantodi Kasanda
7 African Fiesta 66 – Bana ya lipopo
8 African Fiesta 66 – Likala ya moto
9 Orchestre Los Angel – Rosa Okoluka Nini
10 Orchestre Los Angel – Sentiment Mama Mapasa

If I understood this right, this LP should be from 1972. The group
started in 1964 and this release must be from after their 8th
anniversary. It is truly wonderful and in good condition.
Track 1,2 and 3 go together, track 4 and 5 aswell.
Great album, great picture, all yours.
