African System Orchestra – Fine Country,Rogers All Stars 1980
The GG has quite a few friends in the Barranquilla area of Northern
Colombia, the’re crazy for Nigerian highlife in that outpack, understandable.
A request was received for this particular lp and it just so happened
it was waiting upfront of my Nigerian record pile. I hope you can
use it and create some phat pico champeta sound with this.
Get to it. In case you forgot,

Good morning groovers, let’s do some Congolese music today.
It’s still gonna take some time for me to find the drive and energy
needed to start re-uploading all our lost files. Many of you keep
requesting for older posts of which the links are still dead. For now
please do not ask for re-ups, it’s not gonna happen for the time being.
Meanwhile we can listen to all the stuff that’s been waiting for a well
deserved spin like this collector, Cercul Jazz, Negro Band and
Negro-Succes with Franklin Boukaka.

City Boys Band – Odo da Baabi,Rainbow
Just got notified that Ghana celebrates it’s 55th independence
day today. Good idea to bring you some Ghanaian music, thanks
Kwabena. City Boys Band has been here before, mostly with sole
highlife but today’s album also contains some Calacala and Afrobeat.
Real cool outfits the Boys are wearing, don’t you think..? Look & listen.
Happy Independence Day Ghana !

Orchestra Tumba Africa International -African People, Sonafric 50092, 1979
Good afternoon groovers, welcome home at the global. Many of
you are waiting for a certain upload or another. It is very hard to
find the energy to re-upload all my files. I guess the hangover of
Mediafire’s action to delete all our 1197 files is kicking in a little
late. Maybe I didn’t allow it at the time being. Other topics on my
prioritylist are fighting for supremacy right now and for the moment
re-ups’ll have to wait a bit. I reckon you understand and give me a
break. A fresh new post like today’s shall occur as often as usual.
This is the first time they appear at the GG, Tumba Africa from
Nigeria, five songs from 1978, sleevenote; “A collection of talented
musicians has arrived to blow your mind.”,
..signed, Emeka Onuorah.
better judge yourself…

Alhaja Queen Salawa Abeni andher Waka Moderniser – I Love You,Kollington Records
This week I received a request for some juju, fuji or apala.
It’s been some time but we had her before at the GG.
This is a type of music I enjoy once in a while but know
absolutely nothing about. The rhythms are overwhelming
and I think Queen Salawa Abeni has a huge voice,
why don’t you give it a try ?

Opambuo International Band of Ghana -Kiss Me and Smile,Rogers All Stars 1982
For this fine saturday I’ve got something a whole bunch of
you go crazy about. It is another lp by one of those Ghanaian
groups who recorded in Nigeria. Opambuo International Band
of Ghana brings us this typical sound. Ghanaian highlife with
a Nigerian sauce over it. Being a heretic I regret one title but I
just love the sound of it so it got through anyway. The album
is on Rogers All Stars and from 1982, guaranteed topnotch
production, it’s rare, it sounds beautiful, better take it quick.
I am sorry I didn’t re-up anything during the past few days,
just too damned busy to find the time, today I
did some 20 highlife albums though,
stay tuned and hang on…
