Dr. K. Gyasi & his Noble Kings
Sikyi-Highlife,Essiebons Enterprises Ltd. 1974
Certainly I’m not the first blogger to post this here LP.
Every self respecting African music collector should have this
in their archive and I’m sure most of you already do. It’s a classic
and therefore it is justified to appear oncemore I guess. If you didn’t
have it yet, take your chance today.
With Eric Agyeman, Thomas Frimpong,
sublime highlife from Ghana.

Les Grands Succes des Editions Vévé Vol.9
Direction Verckys, Sonafric 1978
You lucky bastards, today’s post concerns an album, what
can I say ? It is so marvelous, we don’t find them like this
every day. I posted volume 1 and 5 of ‘Les Grands Editions
Vévé’ already, now vol.9 follows. It starts off with the great Nyboma
with his Orchestre Kamale and then Verckys himself takes over.
Far before track #3 I was captured completely, true fireworks.

2 Orchestre Vévé – Bilobela 1&2
3 Orchestre Kamale – Assana muana mawa 1&2
4 Orchestre Kamale – Olela 1&2
Africa, Round of Countries
I planned to do this for quite some time and now
I finally did it. A compilation of songs from 16 different
African countrys. The right order of the songs is always
tricky and most of time I later wish I chose different. Same
shizzle today, but after changing order and files several times,
this is it. The next 16 tracks made it through the final round, enjoy.

Original Super 5 of Africa – Helena
Olumo / Decca 1977
Hello there, today I felt like listening to some Nigerian highlife.
It was about time we had us some of this sweet party music.
Although called Super 5, they appear with eight on the front
and back-sleeve. What splendid sound these guys bring here,
rolling rhythms, strings that drive you crazy and great vocal
harmony, at times just a tiny bit false but that is all part
of the charme of this group. We had an album by them on the
2nd of march this year, use the page search for fast result.
I congratulate you with your new done purchase, put on
track #2, furniture aside, volume up and let go…
P.S. I took the Liberty to call this LP after it’s first song,
a thing seen often when the album has no name.
tracks;
1 Helena
2 Master open eye

Franco et le T.P. O.K. Jazz se Déchaînent,Edipop Production 1982
Long time no see. Le Grand Maître took a while to return
but here he is. A recording from 1982 on Edipop, 4 strong
tracks by these heroes. Josky, Dalienst and Ndombe Opetum
deliver their songs in a great way and Franco gives them the
finishing touch with his swell guitarwork, love his Princesse Kiku.
groove on this..

Succes d’Hier – Various Artists
african 360.051, 1969
Some of you might have noticed already, Global Groove’s engineers
are working hard replacing all the old Rapidshare links. Through the past
few years, more and more of our links were deleted for unknown reasons.
We thank Rapidshare very much for their service and move on to Mediafire.
Untill now I didn’t hear any complaints, so if everybody is still happy, allright.
If we keep up the present pace all should be done in another week’s time.
What have we got cooking to celebrate this huge progression ?
This is one of the finest collectors on the african label here,
from 1969 but with recordings from 1964, 1965, 1966 1968 and 1969.
We find Rochereau with his African Fiesta but also Bholen and Negro Succes
and African Jazz. A beautiful Congolese collection, Succes d’hier, yesterday’s
highlights, presented to you today, enjoy them.

Orchestre le Peuple, Trio Ce Pa Kos,Pathé Marconi / EMI 1977
It is Kosmos Moutouari week I guess at the GG. After Orchestre
Sinza and Les Bantous de la Capitale, today an album by Orchestre
le Peuple and Trio Ce Pa Kos. Back in 1972, Kouka Celestin, Bemba
Pamelo Mounk’a and Kosmos Moutouari left Les Bantous de la Capitale.
It took the musical pioneers one year to settle and get their show on the
road. On august 4 of 1973 they presented l’Orchestre le Peuple and Trio
Ce Pa Kos and scored huge succes with the people of Brazzaville.
Great idea to display panther and piano at the albums sleeve, shame
some record stores didn’t have enough respect for a nice cover. I tried to
remove that ugly sticker but the only options I had were to destroy the
sleeve or to leave the sticker. I left it so you can see who ruined it.
Anyway, enjoy the nice music !

Clement ‘Coxsone’ Dodd – Musical Fever 1967 – 1968,Trojan 1989
At the end of the eighties, Trojan Records launched the Producer
Series. A bunch of historic Jamaican music, every collector should
have. This double album brings us the early work of Clement ‘Coxsone’
Dodd, the legendary founder of Studio 1. It contains both vocal and

Les Bantous de la Capitale – Marie Jeanne,Sonafric 1976
Some time ago we had an LP by Orchestre Sossa. The brothers Pierre
and Michel Moutouari played in it. Before that they were members of
Orchestre Sinza Kotoko with their other brother, Kosmos Moutouari.
On this album by Les Bantous de la Capitale we hear him perform.
But the main man here was Samba Mascot who wrote most of the
numbers in 1976 for this great band. Enjoy Les Bantous de la Capitale.

Orchestre Sinza kotoko – 10 Ans d’Animation,Pathé Marconi / EMI 1976C 062-15768
Today’s album is a true jewel. Most LP’s from Congo’s 70’s
contain several songs per side, this one too but they’re melted
together like a big medley. A-side 10 tracks and B-side 11. I am
specially fond of the rhythm work on this LP, absolutely smashing.
My French is not so well, if yours is, check the backsleeve for a lot
of info on these guys ( in file ). Enjoy Orchestre Sinza Kotoko.

One of our visitors asked me if there was any chance on another
Global Sampler. It has been a while since I did one and decided to

Daniel Engobo, Orchestre Lolango,Sonafric 1979
I think Daniel Engobo must have been a real ladies man given
the eight titles on this LP. Another rare gem on the Sonafric
label. Daniel Engobo and Orchestre Lolango. I hardly have any
information. It’s from 1979, SAF 61.015 worthy a couple of spins.
