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.

tracks;

1 You you nabosana numero
2 Katamba tamba
3 Kobosana te Evelyne
4 Mista ya ba masta pt.1
5 Mista ya ba masta pt.2
6 Mobembo na Congo
7 Jetutu
8 Francy motema

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.

tracks;

1 Mahoungo
2 Mama Yirati mi leliwe
3 N’tsiela
4 Louisa
5 Mobali ya mbongo

You lucky bastards, today’s post concerns an album, what
can I say ? It is so marvelous, we don’t find them like this
every day. I posted volume 1 and 5 of ‘Les Grands Editions
Vévé’ already, now vol.9 follows. It starts off with the great Nyboma
with his Orchestre Kamale and then Verckys himself takes over.
Far before track #3 I was captured completely, true fireworks.

tracks;

1 Orchestre Kamale – Andoya 1&2
2 Orchestre Vévé – Bilobela 1&2
3 Orchestre Kamale – Assana muana mawa 1&2
4 Orchestre Kamale – Olela 1&2

Long time no see. Le Grand Maître took a while to return
but here he is. A recording from 1982 on Edipop, 4 strong
tracks by these heroes. Josky, Dalienst and Ndombe Opetum
deliver their songs in a great way and Franco gives them the
finishing touch with his swell guitarwork, love his Princesse Kiku.
groove on this..

tracks;

1 Nostalgie
2 Princesse Kiku
3 Tantine
4 Mawe

Some of you might have noticed already, Global Groove’s engineers
are working hard replacing all the old Rapidshare links. Through the past
few years, more and more of our links were deleted for unknown reasons.
We thank Rapidshare very much for their service and move on to Mediafire.
Untill now I didn’t hear any complaints, so if everybody is still happy, allright.
If we keep up the present pace all should be done in another week’s time.
What have we got cooking to celebrate this huge progression ?

This is one of the finest collectors on the african label here,
from 1969 but with recordings from 1964, 1965, 1966 1968 and 1969.
We find Rochereau with his African Fiesta but also Bholen and Negro Succes
and African Jazz. A beautiful Congolese collection, Succes d’hier, yesterday’s
highlights, presented to you today, enjoy them.

It is Kosmos Moutouari week I guess at the GG. After Orchestre
Sinza and Les Bantous de la Capitale, today an album by Orchestre
le Peuple and Trio Ce Pa Kos. Back in 1972, Kouka Celestin, Bemba
Pamelo Mounk’a and Kosmos Moutouari left Les Bantous de la Capitale.
It took the musical pioneers one year to settle and get their show on the
road. On august 4 of 1973 they presented l’Orchestre le Peuple and Trio
Ce Pa Kos and scored huge succes with the people of Brazzaville.
Great idea to display panther and piano at the albums sleeve, shame
some record stores didn’t have enough respect for a nice cover. I tried to
remove that ugly sticker but the only options I had were to destroy the
sleeve or to leave the sticker. I left it so you can see who ruined it.
Anyway, enjoy the nice music !

tracks;

1 Patchi manga
2 Veve na linga

4 Evy nana
5 Kouka badia n’tseke
6 Caprices
7 Tosaka mateya

Some time ago we had an LP by Orchestre Sossa. The brothers Pierre
and Michel Moutouari played in it. Before that they were members of
Orchestre Sinza Kotoko with their other brother, Kosmos Moutouari.
On this album by Les Bantous de la Capitale we hear him perform.
But the main man here was Samba Mascot who wrote most of the
numbers in 1976 for this great band. Enjoy Les Bantous de la Capitale.

tracks;

1 Marie Jeanne 1
2 Marie Jeanne 2
3 Farce
4 Loin du Congo
5 Even
6 Joseline
7 Bana avenir na ngai
8 Nsambi ya sisa ba mbuta
9 Ofnacom

Today’s album is a true jewel. Most LP’s from Congo’s 70’s
contain several songs per side, this one too but they’re melted
together like a big medley. A-side 10 tracks and B-side 11. I am
specially fond of the rhythm work on this LP, absolutely smashing.
My French is not so well, if yours is, check the backsleeve for a lot
of info on these guys ( in file ). Enjoy Orchestre Sinza Kotoko.

I think Daniel Engobo must have been a real ladies man given
the eight titles on this LP. Another rare gem on the Sonafric
label. Daniel Engobo and Orchestre Lolango. I hardly have any
information. It’s from 1979, SAF 61.015 worthy a couple of spins.
