I really can’t tell you anything useful about this artist.
Untill this record I never heard his music. Wanted to
post something from Ghana but the choice is getting
smaller. The album is from 1984 and was recorded in
London as you can see. If anyone knows something
we’d like to hear aout this somehow funny and
funky hihlife, please leave us a message..

tracks;

01 – Grace soronko
02 – Me nyame hume mbobo
03 – Mampaw nyowa bebe
04 – Mo ngyae me

Over the years I noticed to have develloped a certain weekness
for raw voices. My favourites are Juancho Polo Valencia, Angel
Vasquez, Andrés Landero, Heliodoro Martinez, Alberto Montiel,
Alejandro Duran, Manuel Caraballo and we can add Pachito Rada
to this list. In other genres there are way more to mention but
this list just covers Colombian artists. I am very sorry to say track
#6 has one small jump, I tried to remove it but did not succeed.
Shame about a good song but sh*t happens. The album remains
worth downloading to my opinion, see for yourself..

tracks;

01 – El millonario roncon
02 – Falso juramento
03 – Con la misma rabia
04 – Antonio y emiliano
05 – No se que hacer
06 – Mis penas
07 – Sueño con ella
08 – Igualdad
09 – El plagio
10 – Te esperare

Today’s post concerns an album by another group from
la Republique de Guinée. It appears on the great Editions
Syliphone de Conakry and is from 1980. The record’s been
treated very good, it is still brand new. Le Simandou de Beyla
opens with an ode to the late Aboubacar Demba Camara, who
was the leader of Bembeya Jazz. Six fine songs in their favourite
themes as shown in the liner notes above, get it & spread it..

tracks;

01 – Demba
02 – Dyigui
03 – Sensenko
04 – Festival
05 – Kani ye sa
06 – Miriya

Today I tried my new cleaning tool for vinyl first time and
I think it’s done the job quite well. The record looks very
clean and sounds the same, in short, it’s been approved.

Five artists, of which we’ve seen only one so far, share this
album. Two songs each, one on every side of the album.
Only Anibal Velasquez appeared here before, the others
were new to me when I first found this record. They are
very welcome with their warm tropical sound, I’d say
do not hesitate and listen to these great Colombians.

tracks;

01 – Ramiro Beltran y su Conjunto – El avispon
02 – Virgilio de la Hoz y sus Primos – Yo se que tu sabes que yo se
03 – Juvenal Viloria y su Conjunto – Mayengue
04 – Elias Moron y su Conjunto – Pelea entre marido y mujer
05 – Anibal Velasquez y su Conjunto – Desengañado
06 – Ramiro Beltran y su Conjunto – El coco de maria
07 – Virgilio de la Hoz y sus Primos – Aura estela
08 – Juvenal Viloria y su Conjunto – La carita de machengue
09 – Elias Moron y su Conjunto – Carmen sofia
10 – Anibal Velasquez y su Conjunto – Derrumbe

Okay, let’s do something out of the ordinary and post another
lp from the same series. I noticed 360.104 was not here as well.
Just being in the good mood by listening to le grand maître.
Here’s volume 1. Nothing else to say, get it and spread it..

tracks;

01 – Na loba loba pampa te
02 – Tolinganaki toboyanaki
03 – Kamusengele
04 – Monzo

When I found this lp it pleased me in several ways. Finding
another album on the ‘african’ label in the series 360.000,
and finding another Franco record is always a joy. Six great
songs to add to our collection of Congolese treasures never
fails to brighten up my day. As usual I have nothing to tell
about this lp except for the fact it’s a jewel. Okay I can say
it is from 1977 but that’s all. You’ll have to collect all extra
information using the world wide web. Enjoy listening..

tracks;

01 – Mbongo
02 – Lisolo ya adamo na nzambe
03 – Lotambe
04 – Badjekate
05 – Tambwe luntadila
06 – Moleka okoniokolo ngai ntina ?

It’s front cover alone is worth a posting of this vallenato
record. They all look as if they’re angry with the fotographer.
The whole Sarmiento family seems to be present, dressed
in their sunday’s clothing and damned serious in what they
do. I think this frontsleeve is both funny and beautyful.
I’m not sure if the whole bunch is also performing here,
including the younger brothers. One way or the other,
the vallenato is of the purest kind and sounds just
the way I like it, how about you ? Can you dig it ?

tracks;

01 – Necesito un acordeon
02 – Te llevo en el alma
03 – No llores mujer
04 – Mi pena y mi ternura
05 – La pruebita de amor
06 – Rio padillo
07 – Acordeon vallenato
08 – Nosotros
09 – Comiendo del cuento
10 – El aparato

Delightful 1976 compilation of Guinéan songs, only one by
Super lion and the other four by Bembeya Jazz National.
Crazy laughing ballad ‘Petit Sekou’ stole my heart straight
away. Don’t forget to share it with your friends, killer stuff.

tracks;

01 – Super Lion – Kiti
02 – Bembeya Jazz – Telephone
03 – Bembeya Jazz – Petit sekou
04 – Bembeya Jazz – Ah kani
05 – Bembeya jazz – Kana sarakabö

Goodmorning, it’s been a busy week with little activity
here at the GG. Today it’s sunday and finally a quiet day.
The record we have is one I had waiting for some time now.
It is one that’s got a centerhole which is not in the middle
of the vinyl. My turntable does not have a removable pin
so at first I didn’t know how to get it straight. Recently
someone gave me the idea of placing another mat on top
of the first one so the lp gets up a little higher. This way
we’re able to center the record and record it properly.

Let’s see, the African Brothers International Band of Ghana
always finds a happy listener and I’m sure today’s album
forms no exception in that perspective. It is from 1982
on Jay Jay Records. ‘Take the Message’ is it’s title but
I have no idea what the message is. If you understand
the lyrics, can you reveal please, we’d all be eternally
grateful so thanks in advance. What I do know is that
I love the music, no need to understand the language
to be able to enjoy it. Get and spread as usual..

tracks;

01 – JJ
02 – Adu twumwam
03 – Kwaata
04 – Amammre

From 1973 on Victoria, this is an album by Aniceto Molina
and his Conjunto. Miguel Mora and Aniceto take turns
in singing their songs, side-a 1,3 & 5 sung by Aniceto,
2 & 4 sung by Miguel Mora. Side-b 1,3 & 4 Aniceto,
2 & 5 Miguel Mora. They bring pompito, paseo, paseaíto,
merengue and tamborera. We don’t find his records
easily, better get it and spread it now..
