Classic Reggae Albums
Hear this ! In a much earlier stage, still in the beginning of the
old page back in 2008, I was asked to remove these here albums.
Greensleeves was re-releasing some of them and didn’t like me
to give them away. Now my buddy who owns a recordstore in
my hometown told me most of them are out of print at the time
being so I thought, “Good, let’s post them all again and see what
happens.” If you have a problem with either one, the way to protest
is using this disclaimer.
So happy reggae listeners, don’t miss out on these classic lp’s.
I love them piece by piece and want to share them with you all.
Picolino e seu Samba Partido Alto –
Chegou Portela, CBS 1969
This afternoon I went to a tiny recordstore in the middle
of Amsterdam’s red-light district. Just in between two
black hookers there’s this gate, you have to know where
it is cause it’s easy to get distracted. When snooping
around in my friend’s shop I stumbled upon this samba
album from back in 1969. It is an lp by Picolino, one of
the frontmen of the Portela samba school. I promised
to post it straight away, so here it is Alex, get it,
spread it, listen and have fun doing so..

Que Siga el Baile – Various Artists
Regis / Victoria R-3062
Good morning groovers, I wasn’t able to see downloadnumbers exactly
as they are since the new page has come active. My engineers have
made it possible now and I must say it brought me some pleasant
surprises. For example, I did not expect Ases del Ritmo in our top 10,
same thing counts for Global Sampler vol. 43. It is on number 14, not
bad at all. The numbers give me an awesome insight on what’s most
popular here at the GG. I always figured that the albums that gained
the most comments were also the most downloaded ones but that
isn’t the case at all. This information is very valuable to me, it
helps me determine what to post.So lovers of Colombian music,
I am happy to see so many downloads in this section.
Enjoy this fine collector which contains
a number of great songs.

African Brothers International Band
led by Nana Kwame Ampadu I
Osekufuo, Ambassador NP 10
You are the lucky one this weekend Thiol, I found it not so
very long ago. Another African Brothers album to get closer
to completion of their list of releases some fine day. How
many do we still have to find ? I wouldn’t know, I do know
the next big recordfair is on my doorstep. November 22 and
23 we’ll have us another opportunity to dig the crates and
boxes of hundreds of recorddealers from various countries.
If you’re interested to go, take a look at their site.
Let’s see what’s cooking for us this time, the novemberfair
is usually the better one of the two so fingers crossed..
I do understand you requested this particular record
Thiol, it is exceptional, true delight..

Los Corraleros – Ritmo de Colombia
Discos Fuentes 1968
What can I say ? You know I’m a lover of this type of
music. I could keep annoying you with superlatives
concerning this album but I really think it’s best if you
listen first and make up your own mind about it. Can
you tell us who you see on the frontsleeve ? I am sure
about two or three myself, how many do you know ?
By the way, this is an original old yellow Fuentes
label on a very thick and heavy slice of vinyl, wow..
tracks;
1 Casi nada, Eliseo Herrera
2 Busca tu hueco, Tony Zúñiga
3 Charanga costeña, Calixto Ochoa

11 Gorrero pechugon, Julio Erazo
12 El espejo del chinito, Calixto Ochoa
Clube do Samba, vol. 3 – Various Artists
RCA Victor 1987
This samba collector contains songs by some of the best
sambistas ever. Part from Marquinhos Satá, all the artists
have at least a couple of albums here at the GG. Check
them by using our search-bar on your left hand side. I guess
I can safely say I like all the songs on this fine lp. The artwork
is another factor that stands out to my opinion, very tasteful
and just the way I like it. Did you know samba sometimes goes
accompanied by matchbox rhythms ? When played in the street
and when there’s no backing musician available the singer just
taps his fingers on the box to create his own rhythm, very
soft and subtle. It is not a thing you can find on this here lp
though, all songs here are amplified as you may expect.
Listen and find yourself dancing across the room
before you realise, get & spread..
tracks;
1 Alcione – Mocidade independente
2 Bezerra da Silva – Malandragem da um tempo

African Brothers Band – the Best of Kwame Ampadu
Afribros KDF 2002, 1971
Good morning groovers, once again I find out through a comment
that our former host, blogger, has thrown away one of our precious
old albums. It concerns a very nice lp by the great African Brothers.
The Best of Kwame Ampadu used to be on my blog long time ago.
It is another surprise to find it gone but no worries, every time you
come up with a disappeared album, I’ll re-post it and this time it is
going to stay here. So enjoy this rarity and pass it on..
p.s. I’m checking my other African Brother posts as well,
maybe more have disappeared, I’ll get back on that soon..

Ouza et les 4 Femmes dans le Vent –
Mbaana, Disques Griot 1977
It is almost six years ago I posted this lp by Ousmane
Diallo aka Ouza Diallo or Ouza. Delightful seventies Dakar sounds,
atmospheric stuff. It’s been quite a while we had us some Senegalese
music, better get it and realise I do not post this type of music enough.
Maybe if we find a bit more in the future, the next big recordfair is almost
arriving, another three and a half weeks and who knows what it shall
bring us this time. For now, listen to these beautiful songs
sung by these beautiful voices, I’m completely
captured, # 4 is my favourite..

Mas Cumbias…Mas Gaitas – Various Artists
ECO / Discos Fuentes 1976
There was a time I would never have believed an album with
such a cheap sleeve, naked girl and all, could be a good one.
Nowadays I know better. Au contraire, after collecting this
type of music some years I started loving them. The record
we have here is just what we like to find, thick carton sleeve,
heavy vinyl inside and luckily in good shape. It is from 1976
and contains a load of brilliant tracks, these cumbias are
sweet without exeption, just the way we love them, well
produced and compiled with passion. Get & Spread..

the Jukebox Rebel presents…
Un Tour du Monde
( en hommage a John Peel )
august 30, 1939 – october 25, 2004
Last week I received a mail by one of our loyal visitors from Glasgow,
Scotland. He made a wonderful tribute to the great John Peel as a
contribution to our page. It is nice to pass the mic for a change,
ladies and gentlemen, I give the word to
William, the Jukebox Rebel..
Hello groovers, warm greetings from Glasgow where
there are many music nuts just like Moos.
I say THANK YOU to my host for helping to keep all these wonderful
global grooves alive over the years – and for giving me a chance
to share my mix-tape with you today. It’s a special tenth anniversary
commemoration for the incomparable DJ of the World, John Peel.
Of all the Peel eulogies since 2004, Billy Bragg said it best when he
astutely surmised: “Throughout his career, John Peel defined independent
music. Although he became an institution at the BBC, he was, in effect,
running his own pirate radio station from within the Corporation,
introducing us to music that could not be heard on any other radio show.”
I listened to his nightly shows regularly from 1983 until his untimely
death from a heart-attack on 25th October 2004, taping highlights and
then following them up by purchasing the LP or CD whenever possible.
During the course of his shows, John Peel brought the Planet closer
together, with a weird and wonderful mix of all that was musically
interesting – there were no borderlines in his musical world.
He imbued me with a passion for musical adventure and opened my eyes
and ears to the richness of the artists from all around our planet –
and I could safely say that he is the main reason that I’ve ended up
following the crazy Dutchman on this website.
Most of the selections on this compile were actually featured in the
John Peel show at some stage – and I feel sure that the few exceptions
would also have done so, were they to have landed on his doorstep or
in his time zone.
I hope you can join me for this ’round the world celebration.
Long live John Peel – the original, independent global groover!
Peace out,
The Jukebox Rebel

3 Reyes del Acordeon vol. 2, Luis A Martinez,
Alejandro Durán & Andrés Landero
Tropical LD-1304
In the series ‘3 Reyes del Acordeon’ we have volume two
to start with. At least two other volumes await their turn.
Indeed we are dealing with three Kings in this perspective.
Alejandro Durán, Luis E. Martinez and Andrés Landero
are three of my idols all together, whenever I find an album
by one of them, it really makes my day. Take this series,
I found three of them so far but I promise to do what I can
to discover the others as well. I would very much appreciate
you leaving me a short message, after all that is all I have
to go on. It appears that the people who download african
music leave more comments then the people that download
latin music. Is it a language matter? You people from South
America do understand some English don’t you? Wether you
do or don’t, give me some feedback so I know Colombian
music is also appreciated. One way or the other,
I am a huge fan of these guys, hope U like it 2..
