Jose Missamou – El Salsero de Brazzaville,Tchi-Tchi 1980
El Salsero de Brazzaville is here to brighten up your
sunday. It’s a thrill to hear these African musicians play
latin music. On Tchi-Tchi but Eddy’Son also appears
at the back of the sleeve, don’t know what was his role.
It seems the album was released with the celebration
of Brazzaville’s 100th birthday. With Orquesta
Ballet ‘Les Anges’.

Franco et le TPOK Jazz -chez Safari Club de Bruxelles
Edipop 026, 1984
Let’s get april next to march and at least bring the score
to a poor 6 posts. A special one for the weekend I’d say.
This is another delightful album by le Grand Maître on the
Edipop label. POP 026 chez Safari Club de Bruxelles,
sweet vocals, simply the best instrumentation, tastefully
produced, I dare say in one word ‘indispensable’.
tracks;
1 Mbanzi ya kamundele
2 Okundji
3 Serment
4 Amour perdu
Sunny Ade & his African Beats
the Original Syncro System Movement
African Songs Ltd. 1974
We had a ‘Syncro System’ lp on the Brittish ‘Island’ label from ’83
and we had an album on ‘Sunny Alade Records’ from 1983 with
the title ‘Syncro Series’. This is the original movement from a couple
of years before them. The bassplayer on a-side really stands out and
catches a lot of attention. Quite different tracks than on the other two
albums, different titles as well. Not being the first to post this one,
it was simply impossible to resist, so if you missed it earlier..
tracks;
1 Syncro system movements
2 Ni’bi lekeleke gbe nfo’so
– Gbogbo wa l’ope
– Ori olowo
– Asiko ni.

Good evening, fridaynight and I’m in a good mood.
Rounded up an important job today and felt up for
a new post. Not only did I rip us an lp by the man
we hadn’t had before, I also re-upped all his and the
African All Stars’ albums with the total of 20.
This is Sam Mangwana & l’African All Stars with
an album on the ‘Adios’ label from Abidjan if
I’m not mistaking. Get it and spread it..

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.
