Compas direct was initially created by Nemours
Jean-Baptiste. Later there was a dispute with his
former band mate Webert Sicot about it. The two
rivals took lyrical jabs at each other through their
songs and at one point fought it out in a soccer
match between their bands. It ended in a 1-1 tie.

8 July 2022|Congo, Soukous|0 Comments

His real name was Ignace Nkounkou, but we know him better
as Master Mwana-Congo. Master Mwana played with dozens
of Congolese artists, his guitar was one of the most heard on
records of a range of stars. Under his own name there’s only
a few. Today’s album has no year of release. Like most it
appeared on Eddy’Son, (this time a sub) Saxone-Music. Strictly
for soukous lovers. Listen ..

Zijn echte naam was Ignace Nkounkou, maar wij kennen hem als
Master Mwana-Congo. Master Mwana speelde met talloze Con-
golese artiesten, maar maakte slechts enkele platen onder zijn
eigen naam. Zijn gitaarspel is een van de meest gehoorde op
de platen van een reeks anderen. Dit album heeft geen
jaar van uitgifte. Zoals zijn meeste op Eddy’Son,

Ali Chukuma and his Peace Makers International Band of Nigeria

4 July 2022|Highlife, Nigeria|3 Comments

We’ve seen albums on which he’s called Ali Chuks, Ali
Chuckwuma, Ali Chuckwumah and even Ali Chuckwumar.
Now we find one under Ali Chukuma. Ali appears with his
Peace Makers International Band of Nigeria and his
highlife is nice as ever. The record sleeve is quite
worn out as you can see and the vinyl itself is also
a little scratchy. One way or the other, Ali Chuckwuma’s
music is always a pleasure to listen to.
Get it and spread it ..

We kennen hem als Ali Chuks, Ali Chuckwuma, Ali Chuck-
wumah en zelfs Ali Chuckwumar. Nu vinden we hem als Ali
Chukuma. Ali is hier wederom met zijn Peace Makers Inter-
national Band of Nigeria en zijn highlife is fijn als
altijd. De hoes van de plaat is tamelijk versleten en
ook het vinyl zelf is wat krasserig. Hoe dan ook, Ali
Chukwuma’s muziek is altijd de moeite waard.

Like father like son.

Pa Ayinde Bakare, the father, had been playing since 1933

and was dedicated to his old dad. Juju from the past,

Zo vader, zo zoon.

Ngoma Jazz – Bom Ano

Today’s post concerrns another album which was not
ripped by me. It is a quite obscure record with Ngoma
Jazz from Angola. On Discogs I didn’t find it, only a single
with this cover. The cover probably does not belong to
the album, but since we have no other option let’s use
it for now. Listen..

Vandaag hebben we wederom een plaat die niet door mij
is geripped. Het betreft een tamelijk obscuur album met
Ngoma Jazz uit Angola. Op Discogs vond ik ‘m niet, alleen
een singletje met dezelfde hoes. Deze hoes hoort hoogst
waarschijnlijk niet bij de elpee, maar omdat er even
geen ander is, gebruiken we hem zolang. Luister ..
