Voz de Cabo Verde – Partida
Edição de Casa Silva 1967

26 January 2022|Cabo Verde|1 Comment

Cape Verdean band founded in Rotterdam, Netherlands in 1966. Their
repertoire included Cape Verdean music such as the coladera and morna,
American and European pop and rock, as well as Colombian cumbia,
Dominican merengue, and Cuban guaracha. The original members were
Luis Morais (Saxophone & Clarinet), Morgadinho (Trumpet, Vocals, Bass),
Frank Cavaquinho (Drums), Jean Da Lomba (Bass Guitar), and Toy Ramos
(Guitar). They were later joined by the singer Diosinha and organist Chico
Serra in 1968. The original band split up in 1970 after a second tour in Angola.
Some of the members immigrated to the United States and France. In Portugal
the group Voz De Cabo Verde carried on in name, but with different members,
recording several albums throughout the 1970s, but
with a completely different sound. (Discogs)

Elza Soares – O Máximo em Samba
Odeon 1967

24 January 2022|Brasil, Samba|5 Comments

Elza Gomes da Conceição overleed afgelopen donderdag op 91
jarige leeftijd. Elza Soares leed een lang en veelbewogen
leven. Op haar 12de werd zij door haar vader uitgehuwelijkt.
Op haar 13de kreeg ze haar eerste kind en op haar 15de had ze
er al twee verloren. Op 21 jarige leeftijd werd ze weduwe met
vijf kinderen. In 1962 ontmoette ze Garrincha, de beroemde
voetballer die samen met Pelé twee maal wereldkampioen werd.
Ze trouwden in 1966. Het huwelijk duurde tot 1982 toen ze hem
na de zoveelste geweldsuitbarsting verliet. Garrincha was
alcolholist en ging graag vreemd. Hij overleed op de zelfde
datum als Elza, 39 jaar eerder. In Brazilië is drie dagen
van rouw afgekondigd wegens Elza’s dood. Lees haar Nederlandse
en Engelse Wikipedia pagina’s, kijk haar video’s op Youtube en
luister naar haar muziek. Ik heb een paar albums van de grote
ZecaLouro en zijn Loronix blog gere-upload en deze
zelf geript van elpee. R.I.P. Elza Soares ..

Last thursday the Queen of Samba, Elza Gomes da Conceição,
died age 91. Elza Soares had a long and intense life. She was
12 years when her father forced her to marry Lourdes Antônio
Soares who’s name she kept using her entire life. Age 13 she had
her first child, age 15 she had already lost two children. When Elza
was 21 her husband died of tuberculosis and left her being a widow
with five children. In 1962 Elza met ‘Garrincha’, the famous soccer
player who, together with Pelé, became world champion two times.
They got married in 1966. Their marriage lasted until 1982 when she
left him after him being violent. Garrincha was an alcoholic and loved
to go out with other women. He died on the same date, 39 years earlier.
The whole of Brazil has been morning for three days after Elza died.
Read her Wikipedia page, watch her video’s on Youtube and listen
to her music. I have re-up-loaded a couple of her albums that were
first posted on Loronix of the great ZecaLouro and I ripped this one
from an elpee. R.I.P. Elza Soares ..

of Italian immigrants in São Paulo, Brazil. Adoniran was interpreter of so
called Samba Paulistano and wrote his songs mainly for the poor Italians

Portuguese on purpose. One of his biggest hits was ‘Trem das Onze’.

Lacksley Castell – Princess Lady
Negus Roots 1983

16 January 2022|Jamaica, Reggae|1 Comment

His album ‘Morning glory’ is on number 15 in our download
list, 15 of over 3000 posts is a huge score. Today we have his
second and last solo album ‘Princess Lady’. He made one other
record with Hugh Mundell called ‘Jah Fire’, we’ll have that one
soon. Both singers died an untimely death, way too young.
Lacksley Castell died after being sick, age 24. Hugh Mundell was
shot during an assault while sitting in his car with his wife and
Junior Reid in the backseat. Reid survived the assault. Mundell
was only 21 years old. Both singers and close friends died late
1983, Mundell in October and Castell in November, both
singers had a promising career ahead, what a loss ..

Zijn album ‘Morning Glory’ staat op nummer 15 in onze download
lijst. Nummer 15 van meer dan 3000 posts is een geweldige score.
Vandaag hebben we zijn tweede en laatste solo album genaamd
‘Princess Lady’. Hij maakte nog één andere plaat samen met Hugh
Mundell genaamd ‘Jah Fire’, die hebben we voor later deze week gepland.
Beide zangers stierven zeer vroegtijdig, veel en veel te jong. Lacksley
Castell na een ziekbed, 24 jaar oud. Hugh Mundell werd tijdens een
overval dood geschoten terwijl hij in z’n auto zat met zijn vrouw en
Junior Reid op de achterbank. Reid overleefde de overval. Mundell
was slechts 21 jaar oud. Beide zangers en goede vrienden stierven
eind 1983, Mundell in Oktober en Castell in November, beiden
hadden een veel belovende carrière voor de boeg,
een groot verlies ..

We zagen Cuco Valoy al meerdere malen. Hij begon met zijn broer
Martin Los Ahijados. We hadden al een aantal van hun albums. Later
begon hij met zijn zoon Ramón Orlando de groep Los Virtuosos. Ook
in die hoedanigheid zagen we hem meerdere malen. Cuco komt van
de Dominicaanse Republiek en is thuis in de merengue, son montuno,
salsa en guaracha. Hij speelt percussie, gitaar en is zanger. Hij is
bekend als schrijver van de hit ‘Juliana’ ..

We have seen Cuco Valoy on multiple occasions. He started his career
with his brother Martin and Los Ahijados. We had a number of their

from the Dominican Republic and specialised in merengue, son

Until the present day we only had some five of his records.
About time to post a couple from the pile Alfredo Gutierrez
albums we have on the shelf. This is an elpee from 1980 on
which we find ten songs credited to Alfredo. He didn’t write
all of them and doesn’t sing on all of them so I guess he plays
on all of them. One way or the other, these are 10 wonderful
tracks. Dated 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1968, absolute killers ..

Tot de dag van vandaag hadden we er slechts zo’n vijf van hem.
Hoog tijd om er nog een paar te posten van de stapel Alfredo
Gutierrez platen die op de plank staat. Dit is een album uit 1980
waarop we tien songs vinden die op zijn naam staan. Hij schreef
ze niet allemaal en hij zingt niet op allemaal, ik ga ervan uit dat
hij ze allemaal speelt. Hoe dan ook, dit zijn 10 heel sterke
nummers. Gedateerd 1965, 1966, 1967 en 1968,
stuk voor stuk killers ..
