Cumbia de Colombia is one of my favorite musictypes, so when I got
Goofy’s request for some decent material, I didn’t think twice and
made us another Colompilation. It is the third one so if you’re
new here and you like this one, check the Colombia or cumbia section
below. Do you have a summer party, this music makes everybody dance.
Great plan Goofy !

Goodmorning, as some of you know I have been struggling with
several webhosters to find one that doesn’t kill my links for
what ever reason. Now Mediafire seemed to be a real good one and
it would be if it didn’t get blocked in China. I think the World
Wide Web should be available worldwide but it is not. What I shall
do is use Rapid Share untill a link gets killed. If so please report
it to me ASAP and I’ll replace it with a Mediafire link. This way the
whole world can still benefit as it should.

Some listener suggested a new Global Sampler and since I’m far behind
on them I’ll make a few to reconnect with the present.
This Sampler shows the posts between march 1 and march 10 2009.
Catching up slowly but sure.

tracks;

1 Cristóbal Pérez – La negra Celina
2 Eddy Gustave – Hora de carnaval
3 Ikenga Super Stars of Africa – Ikenga in Africa
4 Neguinho da Beija-Flor – Oficio de puxador
5 Mbilia Bel – Ba gerants ya mabala
6 Oriental Brothers International Band – Ihe eme uwa adimma

Many of us know the songs of Noël Rosa, they are still being
played today by lots of Brazilian artists. Mostly we hear the
countless renditions by those artists but seldom by Noël Rosa himself.
When one of our visitors told me he was so happy discovering the
music of Noël Rosa, I decided to put together a compilation with
his songs and all sung by himself. There are two songs on which he
is accompanied by others, there’s one with Marília Baptista and one
with Ismaël Silva. I went through all the material I have available
so no vinyl rips this time. Noël Rosa was one of the most important
composers in Brazilian musical history. Whether it’s samba, bossa
nova or MPB, it would not have been the same without
the work of Noël Rosa. Enjoy this comp.
