We have seen two albums by African System Orchestra, one from
1978 and one from 1981. I am affraid to make the same mistake
again so is this the same band in a later stage or another band ?
I truly don’t know, you tell me.

I.K. Dairo is called ‘Father of Juju’. On this 1978 LP, he
brings us juju with a unique sound. With his accordeon he turned
yoruba juju into a complete new style. The instrument always
makes me feel at home straight away, it’s warm sound creates an
atmosphere so friendly, there’s no way around it.

2 E ba mi wa olo mi

I’m in a good mood today so here’s some juju to round up.
Listening to this album, there’s a couple of passages that make
you think of an early X-mas but other, holy cow,
it’s damn good juju.

tracks;

1 Odun keresimisi
– Irinse lo jona obey o jona
– Irin ajo
– Ile oba to jo
2 ka so wo po
– Oro ibi pelu iyawo
– Oro oko pelu obi
– Olatunbosun banmeke

The more I listen to fuji, the more I like it. It’s drums can take
you on a journey, sweeet. Two big names in fuji-land, Sikiru Ayinde
Barrister and Kollington Ayinla. I think they’re both great.

Dele Abiodun combined elements of Juju, Highlife and Afrobeat
to create his unique Adawa Super Sound. The songs are cut of and
must have been way longer originally but I think
they’re still worth a spin.

2 Alalo moko
3 Adawa super dub
4 You are my love
5 Mo wo otun
– Ore dani oto pon
– Eje iga foro kofa odale

In the continuing story of King Sunny Adé, we find this album
from 1987. King Sunny wears diamond leather and a golden watch
and sings about jealousy but the music’s still sweet and that’s what
it’s all about, talking drums and Hawaï guitars. Count me in.

tracks;

1 Sokoyokoto
– Honey baby
– Pegan pegan
– Jealousy
– Ere ayo
2 Late Papa Obafemi Awolowo

Look who’s back, King Sunny Adé is here with a killer album.
If you’re a juju lover do not miss this one, superb instrumentalists.
Talking drums, hawaian guitars, sweet beat.

tracks;

1 My dear
– E gbe kini yi laruge
– Iran akin lo nduro de ogun
– Enu o dun elenu a pon la

– Toju ebi e
– Ohun to ba gbin
– A mbo o

Good afternoon groovers worldwide, summer is now really coming to an
end in the Netherlands. It was long and sunny but autumn is breaking
through. To keep that warm feeling, we learned a couple of tricks like
playing tropical musictypes. Today’s choice is an album by Nigerian hero,
Oliver de Coque. One of the last ones to make old fashioned Nigerian Highlife.
On his covers he used to appear dressed quite extravagant but on this one
he and his wife keep it simply white. If you want it, do not hesitate.
Rapidshare is going to change some rules in october. Files that are not
downloaded for 90 days will disappear in the future. Better take a good
look around here at the GG. I am not sure yet how I’m gonna solve this
new little problem so please tell your friends to come visit us and keep
our files alive by sucking them in. Enjoy.

tracks;

1 My woman
– Togetherness
2 Ochichi Nigeria
– Chukwu gozie obodo anyi Nigeria
