I.K. Dairo and his Blue Spot Band – Isele To Sele
Polygram 1978

5 January 2020|Juju, Nigeria|1 Comment

Wat juju voor de zondag met I.K. Dairo en zijn Blue Spot Band.
We hadden er al twaalf en vandaag dus dertien, m’n geluksgetal.
Meester Dairo is de enige juju man die ik ken die soms de accor-
deon ter hand neemt, maar helaas ook op deze plaat weer niet.
Lekkere mellow juju, dat dus wel, down, deel en luister ..

Some juju for your sunday with I.K. Dairo and his Blue Spot Band.
We had twelve already and so today we have thirteen, my lucky
number. Master Dairo is the only juju man I know who uses the
acordeon every now and then. I’m so sorry, he doesn’t on this
album. One way or the other, nice mellow juju music,
get it, spread it and listen ..

le Super Choucoune 70
Ça Chauffe a Cabane Choucoune
Disques Celini 1972

3 January 2020|Compas, Haiti|3 Comments

Een van de goede voornemens voor 2020 is muziek te luisteren
uit veel verschillende windstreken. Vanzelfsprekend hebben we
onze lievelingen welke telkens weer langskomen maar variatie is
wenselijk. Zo gaan we vandaag terug naar Haïti en genieten we
een zonnige compas plaat met le Super Chocoune, zij waren hier
nog niet eerder. Op Disques Celini en uit 1972 hebben we dit
album, ‘Ça Chauffe a Cabane Choucoune’. Heerlijke orgeltjes ..

One of the good resolutions we make for 2020 is listening to
music from as many different regions as possible. Logically we
have our favourites that will come back every once in a while
but variety is desirable. Today we are returning to Haïti and en-
joy another sunny compas record with le Super Choucoune, they
haven’t been here yet. On Disques Celini and from 1972 we
find this ‘Ça Chauffe a Cabane Choucoune’. Delightful organs ..

The four bands we find on this collection of miners songs

the same bassplayer, Thomas Maseko. The musicians were
based in the Orange Free State of South Africa but all come
from the majestic mountain land Lesotho. Love the groove ..
