One of our visitors brought to our attention that King Sunny
Adé turned 69 five days ago. He asked me to post another
of his albums and it just so happened this one was waiting
to find it’s way to you. It was meant to be I guess so get it,
spread it and enjoy listening to Syncro Chapter 1..

tracks;

01 – Synchro feelings
02 – Oba adeyemi ( alafin oyo )

Some people have the strangest way of thinking the Global
Groove is some kind of jukebox. Sending me personal mail
telling me to post a wishlist of 10 albums in the next few
days, pffff, what do you think this is..? Fortunately most
of our visitors have the decency to wait and see what’s
coming instead of ordering music. Let’s see, do you
remember Eddy Son’s projects ? We had us a bunch
in the past. Tanawa is the singer with Master Mwana
on guitar and organised by Eddy’son Consortium
Mondial. A very solid listen not to miss..

tracks;

01 – Nabassani-te
02 – Bouleke
03 – Ozwaka-nini
04 – Libala

On monday july 13 I posted ‘Sabor Costeño’, an album with
five artists of which we find back three today. This is an lp
with 6 artists on the same label and from one year earlier.
Heliodoro martinez is the guy that hit me the most with
his great voice. The others however do not disappoint
as well. Going to Colombia for some crate digging is
something I’ve got on top of my wishlist..

01 – Ciro Arroyo – El que la tenga que la goce
02 – Heliodoro Martinez – El pollo negro
03 – Alberto Montiel – Me esta dominando
04 – Ciro Arroyo – El viejito enamorado

The last post of Nigerian highlife must have been in the month
of may this year. About time to continue that story, don’t you think ?
Let’s see, the group we have here is one we had on earlier occasions.
You’ll find about five other albums using our search-bar on the left.
Always satifactory sound if you’re into Nigerian music. Ikenga
on Rogers All Stars, probably from 1976, a must have..

tracks;

01 – African unity
02 – Nigeria operation feed the nation
03 – Shakara school girl

The lp we have today has appearantly been property of Radio
Sincelejo. You can see how some enthousiastic worker changed
the frontsleeve, pitty but okay, it’s all about the music anyway.
The vallenato is from 1981 and you can hear it getting more
modern. Full bass and produced differently than in the earlier
seventies. The songs are strong however and the jumpy
basslines take you to the dancefloor automatically.
Listen to the wounded acordeon..

tracks;

01 – Acordeon herido
02 – Amparito
03 – La rabiosa
04 – El hombre que llora
05 – La china idalide
06 – La india caderona
07 – El guayabito
08 – Matando plagas
09 – Honda herida
10 – El hijo ajeno as cabezon
11 – El martirio
12 – La rasquiñita

El Rey Negro Vallenato, or Alejandro Duran was one
of the most important figures if it comes to vallenato.
His sound is the most authentic you may find and the
lp we ripped for you today is a fine example of that
fact. It is from 1976 and on Victoria, a solid find by
our main contributor, thnx San. 12 great songs for
vallenato lovers. Get it & spread it as usual..

tracks;

01 – Mi dolor
02 – Mi madre me escribe
03 – La papeleta
04 – 4 de agosto
05 – Yo tengo un viaje
06 – Mi linda tierra
07 – El aborrecido
08 – No llores rojo
09 – Plegaria vallenata
10 – Muchachos nuevos
11 – Ya mi viaje fracaso
12 – Costeñita

It’s his third record here at the Global groove. Roberto Ribeiro’s
samba belong to the finest I know. It breaths a certain intelligence
I can’t explain. Subtle guitars, smooth rhythms and Roberto’s
great voice make this album one I would not want to miss.
If you are into this type of music you’ll certainly like it.
Escuta e concorda, ese samba é
quente e bom demais..

tracks;

01 – Liberdade
02 – Coité, cuia
03 – Um dia de rei

08 – Pernambuco o leão do norte
09 – Amor de verdade
10 – Cabide de molambo
11 – Início de felicidad
12 – Poeira pura

Hello, goodmorning, One of the best vallenato tracks I ever heard
was without doubt ‘India Matea’ by Miguel Duran. The album which
contains it is still on my most wanted list though. If you want to hear
it, you can find it on the lp ‘Fiesta Vallenata’ obtainable at this page.
For now, we’ve got us another record by Miguel Duran, it is from ’74
and appears on Victoria. Jivin’ rhythms and squeezebox ..guepa je..

tracks;

01 – Kilometro 15
02 – Tu cumpleaños
03 – Grito campesino
04 – La medicina
05 – Contestación a tres mujeres
06 – El resentido
07 – Mi negra
08 – El caso de miguel
09 – Lo que te pido
10 – Como hare para olvidar
11 – Puya na’ma
12 – Ni luto ni flores

We’ve heard some of these tracks on an album I posted earlier.
It was a very popular post I remember, in fact it is the third
most downloaded lp at this site. John Chibadura’s sound is a
thrilling one. I wish I had a couple of his other records but
you never know what the future brings, listen to the essential..

tracks;

01 – Nhamo yatakawona
02 – Hupenyu hwangu
03 – Chisingapera
04 – Kurera
05 – Diya wangu
06 – 5000 dollars ( kuroora )
07 – Mukadzi wangu
08 – Shirah
09 – Linda
10 – Mharadzi
11 – Baba
12 – Kurera mwana

Lots of dynamics on this one. l’Afrisa has a strong electric
sound on this album, straight from the beginning it is very
full and rich in instrumentation. Strong vocal harmonies,
it does not tell us with who, round up this 1982 record.
Quite poppy but still very Congolese, listen..

tracks;

01 – En amour pas de calcul
02 – Mavwela
03 – Lisanga bambanda
04 – Masi mango
