From the band, in which so many famous Colombian artists
started their career, we find this 1965 album. With singers
Eliseo Herrera, Calixto Ochoa and César Castro. Being 55 yrs.
of age it sounds a little dusty. It is a historic record though,
one that every collector of Colombian music should posess.
Straight party sound from the vaults of Discos Fuentes ..

The album ‘Ritmo de Colombia’ is GG’s fifth
most downloaded record untill today ..

Among the numerous Sly and Robbie productions we
find this 1981 album with singer Jimmy Riley. Been
playing it a whole lot of times in those days. Only just
took it from the shelf after so many years. Still great
to hear, typical Taxi sound with the rhythm twins.
Also starring; Rad Bryan, Mikey Chung, Sky Juice,
Robert Lyn, Ossie Hibbert, Ansel Collins, Tamlins,
Dean Frazer, Clive Hunt, Chico & Nambo. Don’t

Ik zag een film waarin de begin tune van deze plaat voorkwam.
Direct de kast in gedoken om hem te rippen, wat een heerlijke
soulplaat. Ik kon niet onderdrukken hem met jullie te delen.
Down, deel en luister ernaar met veel plezier ..

I just saw a movie in which the opening song of this album passed

De plaat van vandaag is een tikkeltje obscuur. Over Biyolo le Grand
kan ik niets vinden. Wel vinden we dat saxofonist Paul Mayitezo
ooit iets met Les Bantous des capitale heeft gedaan en ook bij
Verckys. Met percussionist Vicka Petelo vinden we een filmpje
op Youtube. Mix is gedaan door Martin Bakala die tevens op
albums met Mayaula Mayoni, Rochereau en Docteur Nico
heeft gewerkt, opgenomen bij I.A.D. Ook opgenomen bij
studio I.A.D. in Brazzaville is dit een aardig maar enigszins
mysterieus album.

Today’s record is a bit obscure. About Biyolo le Grand I can’t seem
to find anything. What I did find was that Saxophone player Paul
Mayitezo worked with Les Bantous de la Capitale and also with
Verckys. On Youtube we find something with percussionist Vicka
Petelo and engineer Martin Bakala from studio I.A.D. also worked
on albums with Mayaula Mayoni, Rochereau and Docteur Nico.
Also recorded at studio I.A.D. this a nice but
somewhat mysterious record ..

This album by l’Orchestre Stukas of Lita Bembo was shared
with us by Nick Beddow. A record we didn’t see so far from
1983. Every elpee with Stukas is pure pleasure to listen to.
Thank you very much for sharing Nick, we’ll pass it on to the
rest of the world. I’d say, get it, spread it and listen ..

P.S. This is a file type different from what we’re used to have.

Some more Nigerian highlife today with Bestman Doupere
and his Coasta Pioneer Dance Band of Nigeria. A mouthful
of name. Just two songs, one per side. It is mellow and easy
going, so easy they forgot a letter ‘l’ in the sleeve name.
One way or the other, solid listening with Bestman Doupere ..

Gertrudis Bonilla is here once more with this album of which we
don’t know a year of release. The main style performed is Currulao
but it also contains Son, Guaracha, Folklore and Parranda. Finally we
find some marimba, this will please our blogfriend Alexsam. Sound-
quality could have been better, get and spread anyhow ..

I’ve added a video which contains some fake footage,
you hear trumpet and see clarinet, anyway, nice to see
Gertrudis Bonilla perform ..

Gertrudis Bonilla is hier nogmaals met deze plaat waarvan we helaas
geen jaartal van uitgifte vinden. We horen voornamelijk Currulao maar
ook Son, Guaracha, Folklore en Parranda. Eindelijk eens een paar nummers
met marimba, dit zal blog vriend Alexsam een plezier doen. De geluids kwa-
liteit had beter gekund. Down, deel, luister en beoordeel zelf ..

Ik heb een video toegevoegd waarin enkele fake beelden,
je hoort trompet maar ziet clarinet, toch leuk om Gertrudis
Bonilla te zien zingen ..

Let’s have us some merengue tipico with the great Orquesta
of Kio Jimenez. Not very much information is to be found on
the world wide web. We’ll have to settle for the music and
what the sleeve tells us. The album we have here is probably
from the eighties if I was to guess. If one of you knows
more about the topic, please share .. For now,
get it , spread it and listen ..

Laten we nog eens wat merengue tipico luisteren vandaag.
Dit is Kio Jimenez en zijn Orquesta. Er valt niet bar veel over
hem te vinden op het web. We zullen het moeten doen met
de muziek en wat de hoes ons vertelt. Als ik gok zeg ik dat dit
een album uit de jaren tachtig is. Als een van jullie het weet,
deel het dan s.v.p. Voor nu, down, deel en

Compas from Haïti comes if various forms. We know the easy
going twoubadou style as performed by Coupé Cloué and Rodrigue
Milien and Toto Necessité for instance. On the other had there
is the more orchestral variety played by big groups like Super Choucoune,
Meridionale des Cayes or Shoogar Combo to name
a few. Another very famous band is this one with ‘Les Frères
Déjean’. They belong to the most listened to. The four brothers,
Fred on sax, André on trumpet, Philippe on tambour and Camille
doing percussion brought their eight companions on their third
album which we have here today. High quality compas ..
