Today we have another album with Eba Aka Jerome. It is ‘La Verité’
from around 1980 which contains that song many people know from
the first Sound d’Afrique brought by Island in 1981. Check here.
The song was ‘Massoua Mo’ and not ‘Trahison’ like Mo commented.
Thank you Gerrit for pointing this out. The title song ‘La Vérité’ is a
killer too, maybe it was too long to put on the 1981 collector by
Island, that’s why today the complete album, enjoy..

Vandaag hebben we nog zo’n pracht plaat met Eba Aka Jerome.
Het is ‘La Verité’, de Waarheid een welk die song bevat die velen
kennen van de in 1981 uitgebrachte verzamelaar Sound d’Afrique
op Island Records volume één. Kijk zelf maar eens hier.
Het nummer was natuurlijk ‘Massoua Mo’ en niet ‘Trahison’ zoals
Mo beweerde in zijn commentaar deze week. Dank je Gerrit voor het
opfrissen van m’n geheugen. De titel song op deze elpee, ‘La Vérité’
is trouwens ook een killer, misschien was ie te lang om op die Island
verzamelaar te zetten, vandaar vandaag het hele
werk, luister ernaar met veel plezier..

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

piece of Congolese musical history. Get it & spread it..

02 – Ma nono
03 – Omona wapi

At times it feels as if the producer of this album should
have balanced out things a bit more. Rough edges were
left at places I would have polished the sound. However,
on the other hand, perhaps same time it makes this record
so intriguing. The rough funky groove it breaths is unique
and makes you play it again and again. If you are an audio
freak, I strongly suggest not to download this crazy record.
Everybody else, get it & spread it immediately..

tracks;

01 – Keleya
02 – Papa
03 – Femme senegal
04 – Mariage

Remember Lolo Lolitta ? We had several albums of
Tchico Tchicaya with Lolo and some by his own hand.
This one is from 1978, sleeve says 1979, and was recorded
in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire. Like the lp’s we heard before,
it does not disappoint, what do you think ?
btw, the vinyl looks as new but b-side
sounds second hand I’m affraid..

tracks;

1 Ambiance a Abidjan
2 Samboulouma
3 Malelissa
