Good morning, best wishes for the new year to everyone.
New year, new beginning and hopefully things are going to
get better for the world. Depending of where you live, some
of you may have watched Jools Holland’s annual New Year’s
Hootenanny on BBC 2. I watch it every year with a lot of
pleasure. He had a range of artists, we saw Gregory Porter,
Lulu, Rag’n’Bone Man, Ed Sheeran and others making the
musical party a joy to watch once again. I enjoyed one
particular performance a lot. We saw singer and guitarist
Yola. She’ll be playing the roll of Sister Rosetta Tharpe in
Baz Luhrmann’s movie ‘Elvis’ coming out next year.

Rosetta Tharpe was a gospel singer from a very young age,
she grew up in Mississippi singing in churches with her mother.
Rosetta developed her gospel into rock ‘n roll. Artists like Little
Richard, Chuck Berry and also Elvis Presley found their inspiration
listening to her sound. Chuck Berry was so impressed by the way
she played her guitar, he based his style on it. Watching the Story
of Rosetta Tharpe on YouTube (four parts) inspired me to make this
compilation. Some songs are with Lucky Millinder.
Enjoy watching and listening ..

Goeiemorgen, de beste wensen voor het nieuwe jaar aan iedereen.
Een nieuw jaar, een nieuw begin en hopelijk wereldwijd een betere
tijd. Afhankelijk van waar je woont heb je wellicht gekeken naar
Jools Holland’s annual New Year’s Hootenanny on BBC 2. Ik kijk er
elk jaar met veel plezier naar. Hij had weer een brede selectie aan
artiesten. We zagen Gregory Porter, Lulu, Rag’n’Bone Man, Ed Sheeran
en anderen er weer een mooi muzikaal feestje van maken. Ik was in het
bijzonder gecharmeerd van het optreden van zangeres en gitariste Yola.
Zij gaat de rol van Sister Rosetta Tharpe in Baz Luhrmann’s movie ‘Elvis’
spelen die volgend jaar uitkomt.

Rosetta Tharpe was vanaf zeer jonge leeftijd al gospel zangeres, ze
groeide op in Mississippi en zong met haar moeder in kerken. Rosetta
ontwikkelde haar gospel tot regelrechte rock ‘n roll. Ze inspireerde
artiesten als Little Richard, Chuck Berry maar ook Elvis Presley met
haar speciale geluid. Chuck Berry was zo onder de indruk van haar
manier van gitaar spelen dat hij zijn stijl erop baseerde. Toen ik gisteren
naar the Story of Rosetta Tharpe keek op YouTube (vier delen) besloot
ik deze compilatie te maken. Enkel van de songs zijn met Lucky
Millinder, kijk en luister met plezier naar Sister Rosetta Tharpe ..

Discos Fuentes heeft in de loop der jaren heel wat verzamel albums
geproduceerd en niet altijd even origineel in de keuze van nummers.
Ook nu komen er weer wat langs die we al eerder gezien hebben. De
pret zal dit evenwel niet drukken, voor wie het niet wist zal het niet
opvallen. ‘Baranoa’ is er eentje om in te lijsten, een collectie dikke
dansplaatjes die je feestje zeker tot een succes maken..

Discos Fuentes made quite a lot of collectors over the years and
not always very original in choice of tracks. This time we also find
some songs we’ve seen before but still I’m quite sure that will not
spoil the fun. For those who didn’t know it shall not be obvious.
In short, ‘Baranoa’ is a collector with a bunch of dance hits
that will certainly make your party a succes..

I’m gonna tell you straight away, posting this album is a kind
of compromise. It contains a few things I would not post when
standing on it’s own. Nigerian reggae for instance, I think reggae
should be from Jamaica. And how about rock and roll sung in
wolof from Senegal. As a whole however I think it’s kind of funny.
The collector also contains some typical African styles, like on
the b-side, sweet benga by Victoria King’s Jazz for instance.
It’s a 1978 selection made by Blaise Fayette Mikano who used
to do a great job for Pathé Marconi. I think this LP with songs from
1975, 1977 and 1978 gives us a unique view on Africa’s taste
during the late seventies, listen and tell me what you think.

Let’s stir the place up a bit. R&B today means a kind of music,
with all respect, not for me. Back in the old days, R&B would stand
for rhythm and blues, honest stuff with stunning instrumentation and
mindblowing voices. Such as this one, if you speak of a woman with
bollocks in her voice, this is her. Etta James, although quite light
coloured and with blond hair, she has a fat black sound like no one has.
Bluesy, New Orleans based rock and roll with crazy saxophones and
Etta’s unique way of singing. check track #2 in which she has
a conversation with a talking sax, greatly performed by Harold Battiste.
It’s all recorded in the 50’s, over half a century ago, don’t you just love it?

tracks;

1 Tough lover
2 The pick-up
3 By the light of the silvery moon
4 Fools we mortals be
5 Come what may
6 Dance with me Henry
7 Good lookin’
8 Tears of joy
9 Shortnin’ bread rock
10 Baby, baby, every night
11 Then I’ll care
12 Market place

Now here is something very special, I need to make something clear.
Since this fine music is unavailable in most parts of the world, I am
making a big exeption, normally I would not post a CD which might
still be in the stores, Global Groove doesn’t want to hurt anybody’s
business. Come on Fuentes, spread this material around ! Europe,
Asia and other parts o.t.w. want this too ! Super nice compilation
of rare Colombian recordings, Discos Fuentes’
vaults contain fantastic stuff.
