Victoria 1977

8 July 2019|Colombia, Merengue, paseo, Puya, Vallenato|3 Comments

Alejandro Durán or in short Alejo Durán was one of the legendary
interpreters of vallenato. He won the first edition of the prestigious
Vallenato Legend Festival in 1968. Alejandro made quite a lot of records of
which some eleven on our page so far. The album we have today
is from 1977 and rocks like crazy, very good sound also ..

Alejandro Durán of kort gezegd Alejo Durán was een van de legen-
darische vertolkers van de vallenato. Hij won de eerste editie van het
prestigieuze Festival Vallenato in 1968. Alejandro maakte een berg
platen waarvan we er reeds zo’n elf hadden tot dusver. Het album
dat we vandaag hebben is uit 1877 en klinkt geweldig ..

Het is vandaag weer eens tijd voor samba. Van deze groep hadden
we er al twee. Bekende sambistas als Almir Guineto, Beto sem Braço
en Rubens da Mangueira maakten er deel van uit. Al is 1980 wat aan
de late kant, de sambas klinken als vanouds. Een album zeer de
moeite van het beluisteren waard, geef hem een slinger ..

found not so long ago. Vocals by Ben Nyamabo, Lassa Carlito,
Debaba, Defao, Djuna Djana, Nyayadio, Zemano Kamza and

Orchestre Somo Somo was founded by Mose Se Sengo

The group collapsed when Youlou returned to OK Jazz.
Bichou joined Orchestre Vévé and Kwamy went to Tabu
Ley’s Afrisa. There was another line up later in England
in 1984 and this one was put together by Mose Se Sengo
in Paris in 1986. Anyway, with Fan Fan this is the third
entry here at the GG. We had this one from 1985 and
Belle Epoque from 1994. Mose Se Sengo died from a heart

Bantous Jazz – Les Merveilles
du Passé (1962 – 1964) vol. 2
african 1985

26 June 2019|Congo|6 Comments

Les Bantous de la Capitale is one of the longest-lasting and most influential
groups in the musical history of the Congo (now Democratic Republic of the
Congo). Formed in 1959, the band played a major role in the introduction and
growing popularity of boucher, which vitalized the Cuban-influenced rumba,
and soukous. Initially co-led by saxophonists Dieudonne “Nino” Malapet and
Jean Serge Essous, Les Bantous de la Capitale made their mark with a series
of dance-inspiring singles that are reprised on the three-CD collection
Les Merveilles du Passé. Les Bantous de la Capitale has withstood several
personnel changes. When Essous elected to remain in
Paris after recording with the group, Malapet assumed leadership. Despite
geographical obstacles, Essous has continued to perform with the band.
Although the Congolese government’s issuing of an official cultural policy,
Authenticité ’67, resulted in the loss of several musicians, substitutes
were found and Les Bantous de la Capitale has continued to
tour and record. Singers have included Kosmos Kapitza, Pamelo Mounk’a, and
Tchico Tchicaya. Guitarists have included former Franco & OK Jazz member
Nedule Papa Noel and Samba Mascott. Les Bantous de la Capitale can be
found on solo albums by Mascott, Mounk’a, and Essous. (All Music)

Zaïko Langa-Langa
Subissez les Consequences
Disques Esperance 1987

25 June 2019|Congo|6 Comments

The story of Zaïko Langa-Langa is a long and complex one. They changed
their name, form, strength various times and lots of offspring groups came
from them. I advice you to read Wikipedia on Zaïko Langa-Langa for the whole
story. We had us quite some of their records and of Clan Langa Langa over
the years, take a look below. Maybe I even forgot some. Yesterday’s album
also belongs to the list. The record we have today is from 1987 and rocks
like hell, listen and check their Discogs Discography ..

Zaïko Langa-Langa is een band met een complexe historie. Ze begonnen in
1969 en veranderden meerdere malen van naam, bezetting, vorm etc. Het is
raadzaam het hele verhaal eens te lezen op Wikipedia over Zaïko Langa-Langa
als het je interesseert. We hadden hier reeds meerdere van hun platen en
van formaties die uit Zaïko zijn ontsproten. Ik kan er enkele zijn vergeten
maar hieronder vind je een hele lijst. het album van gisteren hoort er ook
bij. ‘Subissez le Consequences’ van vandaag stamt uit 1987 en gaat lekker

Summer started officially on june 21st. Temperatures are
rising instantly, records are expected to be broken this week.
African music fits in perfect under these conditions so a Congo
theme week seemed a logical thing to do. Congolese music is
most popular here at the Global Groove so let’s go. Today’s
album concerns a group of highly gifted talents of the Clan
Langa-Langa. We find Gina-Wa-Gina, Papa Wemba, Evoloko
Lay-Lay and Mavuela Somo on this hot Congolese entry.
No year of release is known of this French product.
Get it, spread it and enjoy listening ..

De zomer is officieel begonnen op de 21ste. De temperaturen
schieten ook direct omhoog, het schijnt zelfs dat komende week

Congolese muziek is nog steeds zeer populair hier op de Global
Groove dus let’s go. We openen vandaag met een plaat met de
hoogbegaafden der Clan Langa-Langa. We vinden Gina-Wa-Gina,
