From 1983 we’ve got this album with the Devera Ngwena
Jazz Band. A few years before Jonah Moyo’s name appeared.
What a sparkling sound. For an elpee recorded 43 years ago
it sounds like it was done yesterday. Listening to this one
is an absolute delight, be sure not to miss it ..

Uit 1983 vinden we deze plaat met de Devera Ngwena Jazz
Band. Een paar jaar voordat Jonah Moyo’s naam verscheen.
Wat een sprankelend fris geluid, voor een album dat zo’n 43
jaar geleden is opgenomen klinkt alsof het gisteren was. Het
beluisteren van deze is een absoluut genot. Wees
zeker ‘m niet te missen ..

jonah Moyo & Devera Ngwena’s sound is zo sprankelend
en als je van een dansje houdt kun je echt er niet omheen.
Het is dan ook altijd een feest weer een van zijn platen te
vinden. Afgelopen week in Amsterdam vond ik deze. Zeer
lekker stukje jit uit Zibabwe, luister en huiver..

Jonah Moyo & Devera Ngwena’s sound is so sparkling and
hot, if you like to dance there’s no way around it. Always
a wonderful moment to find another of his records so
when I found this one in Amsterdam last week it made
me very happy. Get it and spread it..

Good evening, the past few days engineers have been busy
making the final ajustments and testing the new page. This
weekend the Global Groove is about to migrate. We are
moving to the following URL, https://www.globalgroovers.com
So no more blogspot and no more webhosters to spoil the fun.
I am very happy to announce the new and independent GG.
From next week you will be redirected to the new adress when
visiting us, don’t be surprised it’s all been planned carefully.
You’ll find all the old posts, from the very beginning in 2008
untill today, copied and restored. Downloads will come from
the GG’s own dedicated server so NO bloody body can throw away
any of our precious files again. I want to ask fellow bloggers to
change the link on their pages when relevant from this week-
end, that would be really nice, thanks in advance.
We will appear without thumbnail of our latest post, that is
a shame but there’s no way when using WordPress as we do.
Still, thumbnail or not, I’m gonna continue preserving the old
and almost forgotten gems from the past. African, South
American and Caribbean grooves can be found here as
usual and we’ll start with some of the hottest pacific
stuff imaginable, better be there.

For now, Jonah Moyo with one of the older albums in a re-post.
To make you remember, loads of goodies waiting for y’all …

enjoyed ripping for yall. Jonah Moyo’s guitar is uncomparable

want to miss. We had a couple of his wonderful albums before

shall all be available again. The work on the new page is getting
along quite well and if nothing goes wrong next week, I think we
can launch around the end of this month.

We have got some goodies waiting for you when the new Global
Groove goes online; Bavon Marie Marie, Grand Kalle, Empire
Bakuba for example, we’ve got various Pinduca’s and samba
from Brazil, Guillermo Buitrago, Alejandro Duran, Pedro Laza

As we get closer to the worldchampionship of football, we slowly move
southwards in listening to African music. Some Zimbabwean chimurenga
is exactly what we need now. Jonah Moyo and Devera Ngwena, their sharp
guitars and superb singing, oh man, I just love this.

Highly infectious is this Music From Zimbabwe. Jonah Moyo
and his Devera Ngwena are extremely popular in their
country. Very understandable if you hear this superb LP.
This is volume 10 of a series which I hope to bring to you
in the future. Most of them are still on my huntinglist.
Next month we’ll already have the next big recordfair
in Utrecht. I am already looking forward to it.
For now, listen and dance to this sweet piece of vinyl,

A couple of weeks ago, when I was on a record trip, I found this
album. Jonah Moyo brings Rhumbira with a strong guitar drive and
chorus. He writes all his own music and is highly appreciated
throughout Zimbabwe and across it’s borders.
