Good morning groovers, for this Sunday we’ve got us a duo
I would love to have on my summer evening party. Listening
to them puts a smile on your face and you can hear the joy
they had while recording this session. I hope you feel the
same way. Go nuts with Carlos Roman & Dolcey Gutierrez ..
Goeiemorgen groevers, voor deze zondag hebben we een
duo dat ik dolgraag op mijn zomer avond feestje zou willen
hebben. Ze toveren een lach op je gezicht en je hoort de lol
die ze hadden tijdens de opname. Ik hoop dat jij er net zo
over denkt. Laat je gaan met Carlos Roman & Dolcey Gutierrez ..

Marino Silva e o Seu Conjunto
Bobista Dja Manchê
Voz de Cabo Verde 1976
He hails from the Cape Verdian Islands and worked from
Portugal from the 60’s and 70’s with his Conjunto de Mornas.
The first track of this album from 1976 is coladera, but further
you’ll find a lot of the mellow moody morna. This is the first
record we have with guitarist Marino Silva. I wouldn’t mind
finding more of his work. Get it and spread it ..
Hij komt van de Kaap Verdische Eilanden en werkte vanuit
Portugal in de zestiger en zeventiger jaren met zijn Conjunto
de Mornas. het eerste nummer van deze plaat is coladera
maar verder vind je een hoop van de ontspannen en relaxte
morna. Het betreft hier de eerste elpee die we met Marino
Silva hebben. Ik zou er geen bezwaar tegen hebben meer
van deze gitarist te vinden. Get it and spread it ..

Soul Brothers
Kulukhuni
Masterpiece 1979
click on it
The Soul Brothers scored quite some golden records
in their first few years in South Africa. The people
loved them. Then, in january 1979 a tragic car accident
took the lives of two members. ( album liner notes, Wiki
speaks of three deaths ) Nobody thought the group would
survive, but with the two substitutes this was their first
album which proved everybody wrong. As long as they
stick to their Mbaqanga and don’t play Western music,
this is a solid Zulu Jive band ..
The Soul Brothers scoorden een rijtje gouden platen
tijdens hun eerste jaren in Zuid Afrika. Hel volk was dol
op ze. Toen gebeurde er in 1979 een tragisch auto ongeluk
waarin twee van de leden omkwamen. ( volgens de hoes van
deze plaat, Wiki spreekt van drie doden ) Iedereen dacht dat
hun jaren geteld waren, maar met twee nieuwe leden was
dit hun ‘come back’ lp die het tegendeel bewees. Zolang
Soul Brothers Mbaqanga blijven spelen en geen uitstapjes
maken naar Westerse muziek, naar mijn
mening een solide Zulu Jive band ..

Ashanti Brothers Band
Wo Yonko Da Ne Wo Da
Philips 1976
We had two great albums with the Ashanti Brothers so far.
I remember wanting to post this album when Jillem beat
me to it. Hey, that’s how blogging goes. Out of respect for
HTD I didn’t post it then. Over time we did share quite some
albums nevertheless. Below Jillem’s liner notes in the file.
“description
Originating from the capital of the Ashanti region, Kumasi,
this beautiful debut features Osei Kwame Vasco on lead
vocals and Osei Kofi on lead guitar. this group is a prime
example of the richness that highlife music can embody –
not to mention one of the dopest-looking ensembles to
ever to grace an album cover – and this first outing of theirs
is flawess from beginning to end. definitely check out the
medley that kicks off side two for further proof.
the group went on to produced a series of full-lengths and
singles, most notably their 1978 ‘Kill Me and Fly’.”
Tot nu toe hadden we twee albums met de Ashanti brothers.
Op het moment dat ik deze plaat wilde posten was Jillem me
net voor. Tja dat gebeurt met bloggen. Door de jaren hebben
we best veel platen gedeeld, uit respect heb ik dat met deze
toen niet gedaan. Hierboven Jillem’s liner notes uit de file ..

Thank You Jillem !
Hello music blogworld,
Today is a sad day for all who used to visit
the great music blog of our dear colleague Jillem.
Zippyshare is closing down after today and all of
Jillem’s hard work from over the years will be lost.
Sadly we can’t leave any comments at Holland Tunnel Dive
for I am sure his mailbox would explode with Thank You’s.
So, to create a portal, you can leave your comments here for
the occasion. I’d say check the Ziipyshare files once more
and assure you’ve got everything you want. I sure hope
you’ll find some way to get back Jillem,
thanks a million for what you did .. !
Isaac Carillo, Colacho Mendoza
Todo Vallenato
Sonolux LP 12-472
Isaac Carillo
Side one is just with Nicolás ‘Colacho’ Mendoza and his
Conjunto Vallenato on this album with Isaac Carillo. We
found Isaac Carillo in July 2019 on the album with Los
Playoneros del Cesar from 1969. He was one of the
members of the early formation. Isaac appears here on
the b-side of this record, he also performs with Colacho
Mendoza and his Conjunto Vallenato. Vallenato from
around 1970 I assume, no year of release was found.
Voor de liefhebbers van vallenato hebben we vandaag deze
plaat met twee groten uit het veld. Kant één is alleen met Nicolás
‘Colacho’ Mendoza en zijn Conjunto Vallenato. Op kant twee
vinden we Isaac Carillo die ook met Colacho en zijn band optreedt.
We vonden Isaac Carillo al op een plaat met Los Playoneros del
Cesar in juli 2019. Hij was een van de oude bandleden van die
groep. Dit is vallenato van rond 1970 veronderstel ik,
een jaar van uitgifte is niet bekend. Luister zelf ..

Good morning groovers,
Ofcourse I could not ignore,
in this article we honour Ballou
Canta, but especially Congo’s late & great rhythm guitarist
Lokassa Ya Mbongo ! Last wednesday Lokassa died age 80.
He was the frontman of ‘Soukous Stars’. Lokassa’s career
spans some 50 years. He played with Tabu Ley Rochereau’s
Afrisa from 1970 to 1978 alongside singers Pepe Ndombe,
Sam Mangwana and Michelino Mavatiku Visi. Later Lokassa
was part of the great Afican All Stars with Dizzy Mandjekou
and Sam Mangwana. Also starring Ringo Moya, Syran, Bopol,
Pablo Lubadika, Theo Blaise Kounkou and others. This album
is with Ballou Canta, one of the other founders of ‘Soukous
Stars’. It came out in 1990, just after the start of Soukous
Stars. Also starring here is Dally Kimoko.

Rest in Peace Lokassa,
you were one of Congo’s greatest ..

Good morning, for those who think, where the heck did
Moos go, I just got back from a three week trip to Thailand.
After a period of hard work it was time to take a break, also
adding a pause in winter. We travelled around and really
enjoyed it. Found an abandoned temple in the North,
Chiang Rai region, such a nice country with sweet people,
great food and warm weather .. greetings
to Noa at Koh Phangan ..
What’s cooking here today ? Let’s listen to another piece
of juju music with Admiral Dele Abiodun from 1988. The
Adawa Super King is rocking like never before. Great
uptempo sound from his Busy Body ..
Goeiemorgen, als je dacht, waar is Moos gebleven, ik was
voor drie weken naar Thailand. Na een tijd van veel werk
was het tijd voor een goede onderbreking, ook om een
pauze in the lassen in de Nederlandse winter. We hebben
er met veel plezier een beetje rond rereisd. In het Noorden,
omgeving van Chiang Rai vonden we deze verlaten tempel.
Heerlijk land met lieve mensen, lekker eten en warm weer ..
Wat hebben we hier vandaag ? Laten we nog eens naar een
stukje fijne juju luisteren met Admiral Dele Abiodun uit 1988.
De Adawa Super King gaat lekker los op deze plaat. Lekker
vlotte sound van de admiraal en zijn Busy Body ..

Polydor 1982
Always a pleasure listening to story teller Mike Ejeagha.
His Igbo highlife is very relaxed, in a style compared to
that of Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe, Ali Chukwumah
or Celestine Ukwu, to name a few. The latter started his
career under the guidance of Mike Ejeagha. We can’t
have enough of his fine records, listen ..
Het is altijd een genoegen naar zijn platen te luisteren,
zelfs als ze een beetje ruis met zich meebrengen. De
Igbo highlife van Mike Ejeagha is zeer ontspannen, in
een stijl te vergelijken met die van Chief Stephen Osita
Osadebe, Ali Chukwumah of Celestine Ukwu, om er maar
een paar te noemen. De laatste begon zijn carrière onder
de bezielende leiding van Mike Ejeagha. We kunnen
nooit genoeg van zijn muziek hebben, luister ..

It is from 1988 and the only album listed at Discogs. World
Lucky treats us with this quite funky sounding highlife. The
bass pretty much at the foreground, rhythms that babble on
and Lucky chanting with his background singers. A record
worth a couple of spins on a quiet evening ..
Hij komt uit 1988 en is de enige plaat die ze op Discogs
hebben. World Lucky bedient ons met deze redelijk funky
klinkende highlife. De basgitaar zeer op de voorgrond,
voortkabbelende ritmes en Lucky die met zijn achtergrond
zangers rustig reciteert. Een plaat die je best een paar
maal luistert op een rustige avond ..
