Yamoah’s Band – Fa Asem Kye
Essiebons Records 1983
Until today we only had two records with leading
Ghanaian highlife figure Peter Kwabena Yamoah
and his Yamoah’s Band. More or less five years ago
and ten years ago. Being responsible for the discovery
of Nana Kwame Ampadu and his African Brothers Band,
Yamoah was a highlife pioneer. He founded his band in
1957. Crate digging in Paris I recently found this splendid
record wich contains some hot highlife tunes ..
Tot de dag van vandaag hadden we slechts twee platen
met highlife grootheid Peter Kwabena Yamoah en zijn
Yamoah’s Band. Zo’n vijf jaar en tien jaar geleden alweer.
Yamoah was een highlife pionier die o.a. mede verantwoor-
delijk was voor de ontdekking van Nana Kwame Ampadu
and his African Brothers Band. Hij begon zijn groep in 1957.
Crate digging in Prijs onlangs vond ik deze pracht plaat
welke enkele fantastische tunes bevat ..

Lord Nelson – This is Lord Nelson
Camille Records 1973
After being in an accident on the VanWick Expressway in
New York in 1970, Lord Nelson had to recover for about
two years. Luckily he picked up his career where he had
left off and came back with this album in 1973. Later
he became a soca star. Personally I like the calypso
a whole lot better. Get it and spread it like always ..
Nadat hij betrokken was geweest in een auto ongeluk op
de VanWick Expressway in New York in 1970, had Lord
Nelson zo’n twee jaar nodig om weer de oude te worden.
Gelukkig kon hij daarna de draad van zijn carrière weer
oppakken en kwam hij terug met dit album in 1973.
Later werd hij een soca ster. Zelf heb ik een stuk
meer met calypso, luister en geef door ..

Lee Perry presents
The Jolly Brothers
Con(s)cious Man
Roots Records / Seven Leaves Music 1992
If I hear the song ‘Conscious Man’ I go back in time. It must have
been around 1980 I first heard the song, it brings back memories.
Now I’m a little confused about something. I have always experienced
it as a Lee Perry production. On the 1979 album ‘Consciousness‘
the producer of the song is claimed to be Tony J. On this record
that was only released in 1992, it is credited to Lee Perry. Now
who really was the producer? On this page I read Lee Perry did
the job in 1977. If anyone can clear up the matter, please do.
Meantime listen to these sublime Perry recordings

Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry
Judgement in a Babylon
Trojan Records 1981 / 2004
Today, dear music friends, we pay tribute to Rainford Hugh
Perry, better known as Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry. He died in Noel
Holmes Hospital in Western Jamaica age 85 yesterday.
Lee Perry was a legend and a pioneer in reggae music.
He worked with Bob Marley, Junior Murvin, Max Romeo,
Junior Byles, The Congos, The Heptones, Jah Lion, just to
name a view. I saw him quite a number of times and was
a huge fan of his groundbreaking work. Let’s all play
his music for at least a week. There are so many
wonderful records to enjoy. Condolences to
his family and friends. RIP dear Scratch ..

Efrain Gonzalez y sus Muchachos
canta Jorge Araque
Fabuloso LPF-2117
Efrain Gonzalez y sus Muchachos play a mix of styles on
this album from 197?. There’s vallenato, there’s tropical
de Colombia and some tracks lean towards the parranda
style combining strings and accordeon. I like it a lot. For
all you latin folk lovers, don’t skip this rare record ..
Efrain Gonzalez y sus Muchachos spelen een mengeling
van stijlen op dit album uit 197?. We vinden vallenato en

Het is alweer elf jaar geleden dat we een plaat van ze
haden. De Ashanti Brothers komen uit Ghana, dit album
is echter opgenomen in Nigeria op het ‘Rogers All Stars’
label in 1983. (label zegt 1982)Net als hun ‘Kill me and Fly’,
die we dus eerder hadden is dit een pracht highlife elpee.
Mis hem niet en luister met plezier ..
It has been some eleven years ago since we had one of

‘Kill me and Fly’, this is a fine highlife album.

Today a very short post. I digitised this 7″ single for an
acquaintance. One of the ladies is his mother. It is the
second single with Ensemble Empat Serangkai. We had
the other one in april 2016. One of the sons of another
member reacted very happily then. Hope you like this
little gem. Enjoy listening everybody ..
Een korte post vandaag. Ik heb deze single voor een kennis
gedigitaliseerd. Een van de dames in de groep is zijn moeder.

reageerde toen verheugd. Luister met plezier ..

Musa Olwete Migori Super Stars – Super Terera
Kenya Music KBS 002
The sleeve of this obscure 12″ record does not give us a
name. Who are the ones that play on this little gem ? I used
Shazam on my phone to find out the band is probably ‘Musa
Olwete Migori Super Stars’. Since this is the only thing we have,
I assume this is the right information. if you think differently,
please be so kind to tell us. Shazam gives side one the title;
‘Marggaret Akinyi Jaber’, however the sleeve does give
three songtitles. What to do ? I just took the titles from
the sleeve and the bandname from Shazam. You tell me ..
btw, this slice of benga is dedicated to Ngoni Chivizhe and
his old army buddies, enjoy it and dance the mujiba for me ..
