Orchestre les Djo-Djo led by Lusala Mavungu.
Mavungu is Mavos Meme Mavungu who we know of Orchestre
Micky-Micky for instance. The label speaks of L. Magungu.
Is L. Magungu in fact Lusala Mavungu ? If anyone can
clear up this matter, please do not hesitate to leave
us a message. The lp is in lingala and label states
‘sukus’, certainly no hard soukous but very nice it is.
Get it and spread it like always..cheers..

1 Kenge ya libala

When you don’t look good, at first it seems we have
another album by the famous Oriental Brothers. But
no, it isn’t. These are the Continental Brothers from
Owerri, also Nigerian, from the same area if I’m not
mistaking, comparable style but different guys. I did
not find any useful information on this band, they are
as it’s called ungooglable, not one searching result.
If you know something we would like to, please let
us know by leaving a comment, thanks in advance.

1 Ome mere enyia

It is a coincidence, I received a request from Tony,
asking for King Sunny Ade because today is his 67th
birthday. I checked the KSA lp’s I haven’t posted yet
but the only three left unposted are not my favourites.
When an lp has god and jesus titles I get irritated and
am unable to post. It just so happens I have this album
by Thony Adex with or about King Sunny Ade. You can
see his picture on the frontsleeve and his name is in
the titles as well. I have no idea about the link, if King
Sunny is performing here or if it’s all about him, if any
one can tell us what the link is, would be very much
appreciated. So Tony, an album by Thony Adex,
hope you enjoy it anyway..
another Thony Adex, here

..oh and eh, happy birthday King Sunny !

tracks;

1 Ija sunny ati abioro
2 Mode mode nti ewe ade
– Ore otito ko si
– Adupe lowo oluwa
– Won lewa won sowa kiri
– Sedico system

It is always a shame when a very good lp is played so much
that it left it’s traces. Unfortunately we do not have a lot of
choice in this matter. We are lucky as it is, finding them
old African lp’s at all so acceptance is all that’s left. This
particular album for instance has quite some hiss and
other little disturbance. If we want to hear the music
though, taking it as it is, is the only option we have.

We had one of their albums before, you may find it here.
Odoyewu International Band of Ghana is one of those who
went to Nigeria to record their albums. Different circomstances,
different facilities and atmosphere had their infuence on the
sound. Very nice results came forth and this is another
fine example of such a project, listen and enjoy..

Hello, welcome back at the GG, today we’re catching up
with the music of Nigeria. We haven’t seen any since the
launch of the new page yet. On this particular album,
Ikenga Super Stars of Africa bring a tribute to the late and
great Celestine Ukwu. I think it sounds fresh and clean
and it makes a swell contribution to our Nigerian archive.
The album was originally released in 1977 but this one
is a re-release from 1981. Only two tracks but they’re
not to be missed, give’m a spin or two and agree..
Get it and spread it as usual.

tracks;

1 Late celestine ukwu special
2 Ego di nogwu

We had one of his lp’s before and two with Shina Peters.
Fortunately this time no christian songs as far as I know.
I love the sound of juju but can’t stand any religious messages.
This album has some hiss at the beginning and side two is
completely out of centre but sounds fairly okay. 1987
Yoruba juju you don’t want to miss, I especially
love the rhythms, how about you..?

tracks;

1 Oko tun tun
– Mo jere
– Ero
2 Late papa obafemi awolowo

Yesterday we tried to support Ghana with it’s game
against Germany and it seems we booked a tiny succes.
They played 2 – 2 and it was a great match. Last night we
had Nigeria against Bosnia-Herzegovina, I am too late to
give them our support with this lp but they gained their 3
points anyway. Listen to I.K. Dairo’s tribute to the Green
Eagles of Nigeria and enjoy, 1976 juju from the top shelf..

tracks;

1 Irohin ayo t’ode b’awa
– Ohun t’ojuri ni addis-ababa
– Green Eagles
2 Bi mo ba r’ajo
– Lawrence idonije
– Ere mi a d’ale
– T.o.a. ajiboye
– Adeniran aluko
– Iku ye l’ori mi tefetefe

He made quite a bunch of swell records, Chief Stephen
Osita Osadebe is back at the Global Groove after a year
or so. The 12th album by his hand we post, the other 11
shall be made available again in some time. This one is
from 1991, one of his later but not lesser lp’s. His Nigerian
Sound Makers were still going strong, just listen and agree,
thirty minutes of sweetness, ..get it & spread it..

tracks;

1 Ife chukwu kanma
2 Mba’ ma onye ukwu

Good morning groovers around the globe, today you are
one of the luckiest downloaders imaginable. This lp is not
only one of his very best, it is from 1981 but in mint condition.
Kofi Samy and his Okukuseku International Band of Ghana
is here to make you dance and dance, it is sheer impossible
to remain seated while listening to the groovy beats and
sounds they produced on this album. Quite some Ghanaian
groups went to Nigeria to record their music but this is
one of my very favourites. Give it a chance and get it
while you can, groovalicious globadelic sweeets..

I tried to keep this lp waiting for the new page to be
ready but I could not resist any longer. By now you
must think, will this page ever appear at all ?
I understand, my engineer is doing his
work on voluntary base and I can’t
force things, just hang on..
It will come..

tracks;

1 Yebre ama owou
2 Awurade kasa
3 Empa aba

6 Ode ama ne mma

Posting juju music is something I’ve been doing right from
the start of this blog in 2008. It is the sound of juju that I
really love and promote, the message however is often one
I can not support. As soon as jesus titles appear my hair
stands up of annoyment, being heretic I must take distance
from any religious content. That being said we can now sit
down and listen to the funky twist in Admiral Dele Abiodun’s
juju, one I can appreciate a lot. So don’t be affraid and suck
in this slice of Nigerian sweetness from 1978, enjoy..
