Cumbias Tipicas – Various Artists Discos Fuentes
Well Chuckie Jo, that is so nice to hear that I could not
resist posting you some cumbia straight away. American
rednecks that love cumbia are quite rare I reckon and the
fact alone calls for a reward. Suck on this collector for a
while, it contains songs by the finest artists in the field.
Cumbia is such happy music, I can fully understand
you getting addicted to it, I am a sucker for it too..

Follow the Crocodile
One Heart Management Ltd 1988
Goodmorning groovers, today’s contribution is one I really
enjoyed ripping for yall. Jonah Moyo’s guitar is uncomparable
with any other. Sparkling chimurenga from Zimbabwe you don’t
want to miss. We had a couple of his wonderful albums before
and I can tell you, it is not taking very long anymore before they
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

Mavoungu lolo Lolitta & his Likwe-Likwe Band Establishment Bonne Musique 1978
Remember Lolo Lolitta ? We had several albums of
Tchico Tchicaya with Lolo and some by his own hand.
This one is from 1978, sleeve says 1979, and was recorded
in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire. Like the lp’s we heard before,
it does not disappoint, what do you think ?
btw, the vinyl looks as new but b-side
sounds second hand I’m affraid..

Best of the West – Various Artists Part One
Some time ago I received an email from Joshua Brill from
Stamp the Wax.
He asked me to make a compilation of West African music
for his webzine and so I did. I picked some of the finest
Ghanaian highlifes available, off course I am posting it for
you as well. Get it & spread it as usual, enjoy..
Off course Ghana is just one country, Ngoni is right about that.

I Love You
Kay-Nath Records 1987
We had one of his lp’s before and two with Shina Peters.
Fortunately this time no christian songs as far as I know.
I love the sound of juju but can’t stand any religious messages.
This album has some hiss at the beginning and side two is
completely out of centre but sounds fairly okay. 1987
Yoruba juju you don’t want to miss, I especially
love the rhythms, how about you..?
tracks;
1 Oko tun tun
– Mo jere
– Ero
2 Late papa obafemi awolowo
Plutarco Urrutia y su Conjunto – La Manguita
Carnaval 1979
I just knew one song by this artist, it came from a Discos Fuentes
collector and is called ‘Esperando a Patricia’. You might have found
it on my Colompilation vol.5. The lp we have here today was found
for us in Cartagena by my friend Sanjay who brought us loads of
wonderful albums already, it came home with him recently.
It is one of the rarest lp’s at the GG and I’m proud to
bring to you today. So, do not hesitate if you like
Colombian music, get it & spread it..

I.K. Dairo & his Blue Spots
the Green Eagles of Nigeria
Star 1976
Yesterday we tried to support Ghana with it’s game
against Germany and it seems we booked a tiny succes.
They played 2 – 2 and it was a great match. Last night we
had Nigeria against Bosnia-Herzegovina, I am too late to
give them our support with this lp but they gained their 3
points anyway. Listen to I.K. Dairo’s tribute to the Green
Eagles of Nigeria and enjoy, 1976 juju from the top shelf..
tracks;
1 Irohin ayo t’ode b’awa
– Ohun t’ojuri ni addis-ababa

– Adeniran aluko
– Iku ye l’ori mi tefetefe
Noble Adu Kwasi & his Sweet Sound
International Band of Ghana, Star / Shakara Music
On the web I saw them call this soukous highlife, the highlife
side is dominant for my account. Today Ghana plays it’s
second game at the world championships and this one is
meant to support them. With Germany as their opponent I
guess they can use some extra backwind. Guitar and
organ go hand in hand on this lp and the sound is, part
from some minor crackle, fresh and clean. Horn
arrangements and vocals round up the atmosphere.
Most of their albums are produced in Abidjan, Cote
d’Ivoire, as was this one and I’m not sure if they
were stationed there as well. When listening,
don’t know about you but
I couldn’t keep still..

Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe & his Nigerian Sound Makers International – Ife Chukwu Kanma, Premier Music / Kokoma KMLP 001, 1991
He made quite a bunch of swell records, Chief Stephen
Osita Osadebe is back at the Global Groove after a year
or so. The 12th album by his hand we post, the other 11
shall be made available again in some time. This one is
from 1991, one of his later but not lesser lp’s. His Nigerian
Sound Makers were still going strong, just listen and agree,
thirty minutes of sweetness, ..get it & spread it..
tracks;
1 Ife chukwu kanma
2 Mba’ ma onye ukwu
Grand Orchestre de Nemours Jean-Baptiste
Marc Records 1976
Dear Wim, Yann, Abudaiyo, I’ve got another wonderful
slice of compas for you. Everybody else is welcome to
get it too off course. Mellow summer tunes to lighten up

Orchestre, how can anybody not like this ? It contains
one short weepy but overall sunny melodies, enjoy..

Con la Cocorra Pela
Sonolux 1980
For the first time at the Global Groove, we have Colombian artist
Dolcey Gutierrez. On Sonolux and from 1980, this is quite a
joyful album. Vallenato with it’s jumpy basslines and swell
rhythms is one of my favourite styles from Colombia.
Quite different from cumbia, a bit faster but
with accordeons, just listen and be
happy.. get it & spread it.

22 Tracks about Football – Various Artists
Speaking of football, or soccer, whatever you prefer, I decided
to make a collector about it. It begins with a track from a cd
full of 78’s collected by John Peel’s wife. Nice old song, in the
middle we have two African songs, one Colombian and another
oldie with the Marx Brothers. On no.13 we have a track sung by
no one less than Pelé, with Sergio Mendes and on 20 a quite bad
Dutch caranaval song by our own Johan Cruyff, you wont believe
your ears. Most songs are Brazillian and about the famous Rio-club
Flamengo or Pelé, get it & spread it…

Some batucada to get you in the mood. In six days time
