Bopol Mansiamina – Ça c’est quoi ? Shakara Music
Hello world, it is saturday morning this 9th of march,
spring is not there yet and that shows. Rain, rain and
more rain is pouring from the sky. Winter took far too
long to pass this year and we’re all glad temperatures
are rising slowly, we’re not there yet but it gets better.
The best we can do is take an advance on summer by
listening to some warm soukous for instance. Bopol
Mansiamina is the man I have in mind and he’s back
with this album on which we find some of the finest
artists. On guitars next to Bopol himself we’ve got
Lokassa ya M’bongo and Dally Kimoko. On bass
it’s Bopol once more and he’s also taking care of
vocals with Wuta May, Ballou and Jean Papy.
Denis Hekimian on drums, nothing can go
wrong here. In the mean time we’re
making good progress with the
new and improved GG..
Hang in there a
bit more..

Stars of Ghana vol.1 – Various Artists
Blackspot / Decca West Africa 1980
Good morning, on this fine saturday we’ve got you some
highlife from Ghana. The lp we have here ,’Stars of Ghana’,
was released in Nigeria on ‘Blackspot’, appearantly a division
of Decca West Africa. It contains several Ghanaian artists and
I think it’s a swell compilation. The lp is from 1980 and has some
minor noises, not too much. From the groups presented are some
we know from other projects in the past. Openings are taken
care of by the Royal Brothers Band, they kick off with some
of the finest highlifes. Get it, spread it and enjoy..

Shirati Luo Voice Jazz
Ikwokirikwo Hits of East Africa
Sungura 1972
For today’s post we’ve got us an old Kenyan lp. It’s from
1972 and soundquality is not the best, the music however is.
Shirati Luo Voice Jazz was their name in those days and
their leader was none less than D.O. Misiani who we know
from his later work with “Shirati Jazz”. The cover you see I
found online, my copy came in a wrong cover unfortunately.
Nevertheless, even with cracks, pops and hiss,
I guess it’s worth a couple of spins..
Get it and spread it..

Shu-De – Voices from the Distant Steppe
RealWorld 1994
..and now for something completely different..
If I say; “throat-singing from Tuva”, does that ring any bell to you ?
If it doesn’t, it is time to get aquainted. When I saw “Gengis Blues”
again, it hit me like it did the first time and I decided to give it a go.
I could be mistaking but if I’m correct, this cd by the wonderful Shu-De
is already out of print. Don’t get confused now, Gengis Blues is a film
about the blind American bluessinger Paul Pena who’s one of the first
western artists to practise this type of singing. The movie follows him to
Tuva and gives us a marvelous inside look in it’s quite unknown culture.
The cd ‘Shu-De – Voices from the distant steppe’ on Peter Gabriels ‘Real
World’ label is from 1994 and combines wonderful with Paul Pena’s story.
To spoil you a bit more I added some funvideo’s

Sam Mangwana et l’African All Stars 79 -Suzana Coulibaly
Disc Orient 1982
Hello groovers, if you are a frequent visitor of this blog
you’ll probably be aware of our problems with hosting
services. Recently I moved over to Zippyshare, I thought
our files would be save there. Unfortunately the opposite is
true. It looks like some hidden force is following us around
just to frustrate these completely harmless files. As you will
surely understand, this is the cause I don’t post that much
music anymore. But, whoever is behind these disturbances,
the end of our problems is near. In a short while we’ll start
working on a brand new page from where nobody can throw
away any of our precious files.
We’ll get there eventually..
Today’s post concerns an album by the great Sam Mangwana,
he appears oncemore with his African All Stars. The lp is a bit
worn out but that can’t spoil the fun. The splendid guitars of
maître Dizzy Mandjeku and Lokassa ya Mbongo always find
a happy listening ear on this guy. It’s probably from 1979.
You’d better grab it while it’s still there,
it’s a one time offer..

African Jazz 1960 – Various Artists,Pathé Marconi / EMI 1977
Originally these tracks were all recorded in 1965 and 1966.
The album we have here however concerns a re-release from
1977. It’s title ‘African Jazz 1960’ therefore seems a little strange.
On the frontcover we can see the lp’s from which they were
extracted, hope to find them too one fine day. For now we’ll
settle with these 12 fine songs and keep up hopes.

le Docteur Nico et l’Orchestre African Fiesta
Toute l’Afrique Danse, vol.3, Ngoma
backsleeve note;
“The kiri-kiri is a marvelous discovery of Docteur Nico, the
whole Congo is under the ascendancy of this new dance;
born by the contact of elements of the traditional music of
this country with tonalities and modern rhythms.
The creator genius of Docteur Nico comes out here with a
dazzling selfcontrol and warm verve; really one is taken away
by a festival of solos and rhythms, kiri-kiri is the resultant of
the soucouss, rumba and jerk.”
This album has also been released as Sonafric 50.003,
our copy on Ngoma has some traces of intensive play
but sounds more or less exceptable, listen..
