Oliver de Coque & his Expo 76
Ogene Sound Super of Africa
Mark 2, Olumo 1977
From Nigeria 1977 comes this album by Oliver de Coque.
The Rough Guide on World Music calls him a classic Highlifer.
I quote; “..the colourful de Coque occupies a unique position
in the highlife pantheon, syncretising classic Congo guitar
into laidback highlife rhythms.”
tracks;
1 Ten commandments
2 Igwe bu ike
3 Anazo eze azo ?

Nelson Cavaquinho – Nelson Cavaquinho, RCA Victor 1972
Hello Global Groovers around the world, today I am very exited.
I’ve been waiting and searching long time to find this LP,
and finally I did. Nelson Cavaquinho is one of my all time
Samba heroes. When I first heard these songs I was thrilled
with my new done discovery. Do you know that feeling ? It changed
my perception of Samba completely. His way of playing guitar with
those firm strokes, combined with his fragile voice that blasts of
experience. His lyrics are of such beauty, this is pure poetry.
( you’d have to understand Portugese ofcourse, sorry for those
who don’t ). A song like ‘A flor e o espinho’ still gives me
goosebumps. It touches me right in the heart.
Even if you’re not into Samba, LISTEN TO THIS LP !
This is the Blues from Brasil, Muito, mas Muito bom mesmo !

1 Quando eu me chamar saudade

Another score from the Recordfair, Juju at it’s best.

only devide it in two, A-side and B-side.

Ouza – Wethe, Productions Jambaar 1980
After another six months, it was finally time. Time for the Mega
Records and CD Fair in Utrecht. The one in april is okay, but the
one in november, wow, everybody took their best load of
merchandise and came over. Specially some French dealers brought
along rare stuff. Like this guy from *** Records in Le Havre.
He showed me this;
Ouza’s music had a political load and was kind of radical.
He studied and was teacher and musician at the same time,
therefore he did not record many albums. I guess we are lucky
I found this one. It is a true beauty and I want to thank that
French dealer for bringing it to us.
Senegalese music at it’s best.
tracks;
1 Bayina music
2 Wethe
3 Sama gueleme-magana
4 Dootou mala bayi
5 Terango
6 Senegal 80
Alfredo Valdes Jr. y su Charanga
La Fiesta no es para Feos
Toboga 1982
Pianist Alfredo Valdes Jr. comes in at Global Groove.
he shows us plenty selfknowledge on this LP, ‘La fiesta
no es para feos’, ‘The party is not for ugly people’.
“who ?, me ? I’m not ugly, I’m Alfredo.”
Produced by Roberto Torres, great album, and great cover.
tracks;
1 La fiesta no es para feos
2 Despuès que decías

6 El amor
Fantastic Tchico – Golden Voice, Sonafric 1979
From ’79, our friend Tchico is back.
This is one of the three LP’s I’ve got with the same covers.
Maybe it was hard to get a photographer, either way, it’s a
record worth playing, listen!
tracks;
1 Alexandra – Nwurai
2 l’Heure a sonne
3 Reviens Chouchou
Pamelo Mounk’a – Pamelo Mounk’a
Eddy’Son 1981
Here’s another album by Pamelo Mounk’a, he used to be a singer with

Congo and Pablo Lubadika Porthos. Who knows the exact year on this
one ? Can you tell us ?

Prince Nico Mbarga & Rocafil Jazz International
Cool Money, Roger’s All Stars 1981
After his huge succes in 1976 with ‘Sweet Mother’, Prince Nico
Mbarga had become indestructible throughout most West African
countrys. I found this LP together with two others, also from ’81.
Family Movement and Lucky Marriage, I’ll post those later.
Poppy kind of Highlife from Nigeria.
tracks;
1 Cool money
2 Another woman’s husband

Ethiopian – Everything Crash, Studio One 1980
The Ethiopians started out as a vocal duo, Leonard Dillon and
Stepen Taylor, who cut a number of hits for Studio One in the 60’s.
Taylor died unfortunate in a car accident in 1975. This is Leonard
Dillon’s return with sir Cocksone Dodd at Studio One, a sweet album.
Always LOVED it and I still do.

” Since music is the school of love
I King Tapper Zukie rock the musical atmosphere
I no wan’ no war; I run to keep I life, yah !
That don’t mean I’m a simpleton, yaah !
I man jus’ umble !
This music make you walk and this music make you talk
And this music make you say it’s a sound a boss !
I man red; and if you not red you ah go dead;
And if you not dead, you ah go dread…”
‘Tapper Zukie’
This is maybe Tappa’s best LP, when it came out, we went
totally nuts. I remember Tapper playing at Paradiso Amsterdam,
they tore down the place, we had a great night.

Zani Diabate & the Super Djata Band, Mango / Island 1988
From Mali here’s Zani Diabate, our collegue at Worldservice
already gave us some older music of the group, on November 5.
This one is from 1988, on Mango, a division of Island Records.
I quote the backsleeve; “The Super Djata Band draw upon
traditional Malian culture for inspiration: Rhythms and dances
of Bambara hunters and Bozo fishermen, together with the melodies
of the Peul and Malinka, spiced with Zani’s almost
psychedelic guitar.”
