Chano Pozo & Arsenio Rodriguez
with Machito and his Orchestra
Legendary Sessions, Tumbao 1992
Yesterday I got so pleasantly surprised. I watched that
wonderful animated picture that flellow blogger ‘Coleção
de Sons’ posted recently. Chico & Rita is a movie that plays
in Cuba in the 1940’s. It contains passages dealing about
the great Chano Pozo. Now it is not a habbit of mine to post
music from CD, but in this case I must make an exception.
Check out this superb album on ‘Tumbao’. You can find loads
of Cuban classics on that label, highly recommended. Listen.

Les Grands Succes des Editions Samay,
Sonafric 1976
Once more I am presenting you an album by a group I can’t
tell you anything useful about. There is a certain link with
the music of Angola but I do not know which. Names like
Clotaire, Kimbolo, Samba Mascott, Claude Bivoua,
Saboukoulou or Pie Aubus, they don’t ring
a bell. Enjoy listening..

Franco et le T.P.O.K. Jazz -Chez Rythmes et Musiques à Paris,Edipop 1984
Another wonderful LP by our heroe Franco, one we didn’t see
in our little bloggosphere untill today. From a time he was at
his absolute peak, 1984, a year that brings back loads of
good memories. I am blown away by the first song with Madilu.
Track #4 contains some debate in Lingala, can someone tell
me what it is all about ? thanks & enjoy.
PS, OOOps I made a little mistake, track 3 is called track 5,
can you fix it yourself for this once ? ..sorry..

Opambuo Internationals – Menim Me Din,bhm, KBL 017, 1976
This is the first time I am making available an album without
the right cover. I am showing the cover I bought it in, but it’s
the wrong one unfortunately. Highlife Haven posted a song from
the LP we see, in february. The LP I am posting now has a mystery-
sleeve up to now. If You know or have the right sleeve to this album,
please send it to us so we all can fit it in afterwards, thanks so much.
The album is from 1976 on ‘bhm’, Made in Ghana by R.M.G.L.
KBL 017, copyright Brobisco 1197618, led by Nana Agyemang
vocal: Koo Darkey, enjoy and solve our little problem ?
btw, I named it after track #1, not knowing if that’s correct.

that makes your mouth water,..only for experienced listeners.
