Ikenga Super Stars of Africa
Money na Man
Rogers All Stars 1977
The Ikenga Super Stars of Africa, led by Vincent Okoroego,
a former member of Steven Osita Osadebe’s Nigeria Sound
Makers were a leading Igbo “guitar highlife” group of the
seventies and eighties in Nigeria. The Ikengas called their
style of music “Ikwokilikwo”, a fast-paced form of highlife
popularized by Oliver de Coque and Godwin Kabaka Opara
of the Oriental Brothers, amongst others.The band went on
to record several LP’s, while establishing themselves as one
of the most beloved Nigerian groups of all time, not only in
their homeland but across Africa and in Europe as well.

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 am
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

Ashanti Brothers Band of Ghana
led by Osei K. Vasco
Rogers All Stars 1983
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
their records. The Ashanti Brothers are from Ghana, this
here album however was recorded in Nigeria on the ‘Rogers
All Stars’ label in 1983.(label says 1982) Just like their
‘Kill me and Fly’, this is a fine highlife album.
Get it and spread it ..

Ensemble Empat Serangkai – Burung Tantina
CNR 1966
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.
Het is de tweede single met dit ensemble. De andere heb ik

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 ..

Special Mounk’a Pamelo, vol. 9
Pathé Marconi EMI 1977
Until now it remained on the shelf, but because I posted
vol. 1 yesterday, I’m bringing this vol. 9 today. Let’s say it
is for your sunday prayers. Personnally I’m no fan of re-
ligious songs. However, I am a fan of the works of Pamelo
Mounk’a. Part from the two religious songs there are six
others that make up for the two, to my humble opinion.
Btw, did anyone like Orchestre Mando Negro Kwala Kwa ?
Tot vandaag bleef deze plaat stijf op de plank staan, maar
omdat ik gisteren vol. 1 heb gepost breng ik vandaag deze
vol. 9. Laten we zeggen dat hij voor je zondag gebed is.
Persoonlijk ben ik geen voorstander van religieuze songs.
Ik ben daarentegen wel liefhebber van de muziek van Pamelo
Mounk’a. Los van de twee religieuze nummers staan
er nog zes andere op die dit weer dubbel en dwars
goed maken, naar mijn bescheiden mening ..

To compensate the lesser quality of previous post, I’m
giving you another, little better quality, East African record.
This is a Kenyan collector on Editions Namaco with three
great benga bands. Daniel Owino Misiani is present with
his Shiratu Luo Voice Band. We also find Orchestra Sega
and Orchestra Gem Lucky Band. Sweet benga from 1977 ..
(Shiratu must be Shirati ofcourse)
Om de slechte geluidskwaliteit van de vorige plaat wat goed
te maken krijg je vandaag een tweede post van me. Ook deze
is van oost Afrikaanse origine. Een Kenyaanse verzamelaar
met drie top benga bands. We vinden Daniel Owino Misiani
met zijn Shiratu Luo Voice Band. Ook van de partij zijn
Orchestra Sega en Orchestra Gem Lucky Band, lekker ..

Super Hits from East Africa – Various Artists
Polydor POLP 062
Four tracks from East African groups on this vague record.
Two by the great Mbaraka Mwinshehe, one with Michelino
Mavatiku Visi and one with Milimani Park Orchestra. Not any
information on the sleeve, a little background hiss. To go short,
the sound quality could have been way better, plenty to wish
for but still worth a few spins I’d say ..
Op deze wat vage oost Afrikaanse plaat vinden we vier nummers.
Twee met de geweldige Mbaraka Mwinshehe, een met Michelino
Mavatiku Visi en een met Milimani Park Orchestra. Geen informatie
op de hoes, wat achtergrond ruis. Kortom, de geluidskwaliteit kan
heel wat beter, de plaat laat genoeg te wensen over, maar toch is
hij het waard enkele keren te beluisteren ..
