Docteur Nico comes in with this 1983 album, It’s most
certainly not his best. I am posting it because it’s
the only one I’ve got and I like to use it to show you
a very nice film at Worldservice,
a blog you’ll like to know.
If you like to know more about Docteur Nico, check_this.
Both sides of this LP contain one good and one less good song.

tracks;

1 L’amour sans frontière
2 La ville endormie
3 Uempol
4 Saperli popette

Fnal post tonight is claimed by ‘Le Grand Maitre Franco’.
Ekaba-kaba was waiting some time on the postingpile already.
Franco practically can’t go wrong to my opinion, 29 minutes,
only three songs, but great stuff like always.

tracks;

1 Ekaba – Kaba
2 Mobembo ekosila titi
3 Cherie A

The London Stern’s label always brings quality in African music.
Mose Se Sengo ‘Fan Fan’ used to be Franco’s sideman for years.
Since he moved to England in 1984 he’s become known and loved for
his hard-charging guitar style.( ‘Rough Guide’ )
I especially like the hornsection on this ’85 London session.

tracks;

1 Mose se 2000
2 Masikini ya mola
3 Jamy jamy
4 Mele
5 Cheko

From Congo ( Zaire in those days ) this is Nyboma, who shared his
membership of the African All Stars with Sam Mangwana.
Before that, he participated in groups like ‘Les Kamalés’,
‘L’Orchestre National du Zaire’ and ‘L’Orchestre Lipua Lipua’.
Unfortunately, track 1 and 3 have some ticks, still, a beauty.

tracks;

1 Doublé doublé
2 Papy Sodolo
3 Kabanga
4 Asso M’Bele

Another very buisy day, so since I won’t have the time later,
an early posting.
It’s been some time ago I posted Congolese Soukous, need to make up.
Belly Steve comes in at Global Groove with a delightful album.
The fragile voices of les Soeurs Mariana added up, a great spin.

tracks;

1 Lu Buya
2 Tulante ya meinu
3 Seni samba
4 Yame yame

Their biggest hit was the hilarious ‘Jeannot’, ‘Ou est le serieux ?’
This is great Soukous from 1979, a dance classic.

tracks;

1 Jeannot
2 Zena-Maiga
3 Anta, n’écoute pas les on-dit
4 Aminata haiball
