vinyl at last weekend’s recordfair in Utrecht. I am
thrilled to bring you this album. Have been looking

away, it’s a must have if you’re into Congolese music.
Ten great songs by one great artist, give it a go..

Good day groovers, been busy this week, hardly
time to post as you noticed. Today however I’ve
got something special for y’all. Andres Landero’s
records are very hard to find so I’m extra happy
to be able to bring you this one today. Candelazos
Curro ‘en Acordeon’ vol. 9, it plays almost perfect.
Shame about the pops in track #4 but further it’s
in quite good condition. I guess we should be
happy finding his work at all. Landero’s music
is very hot to my humble opinion, if you don’t
know it I suggest a few spins at least to
find out..enjoy doing so..

tracks;

01 – La ombligona
02 – Los ombreros
03 – Apúrate toño
04 – Compadre préstame el jeep
05 – Primavera florecida
06 – Buena vida
07 – Tres morenas
08 – Atésate
09 – El cucarachero
10 – La licorera
11 – Pollerin en bulto
12 – Recuerdos de madre

Now that’s quite some time ago, we had a bunch of
both their albums. Today Tabu Ley and Mbilia Bel
appear together on this 1985 record. Their work is
always worth at least a couple of spins and so
does this one. The album is in mint condition
so it plays perfectly well, listen yourself..

tracks;

01 – La beauté d’une femme
02 – Ma fille
03 – Sina mambo
04 – Nalingi yo linga ngai

Hello good morning, Obeeyie should be meaning something
like, All will be okay, if I’m not mistaking. Even if I do, all will
be just fine. This is a record by Kwadwo Donkoh of whom we
never had any work yet. Backsleeve says, “Diplomat turned
Musician”, okay, very nice career move I’d say. Kwadwo
should have made it much sooner cuz his music is
very cool, with prominent bass guitar and awesome
rhythms, I’m an instant fan..listen..

tracks;

01 – Obeeyie / E go good
02 – Enti yede saa / Na so ego be
03 – Obiara wo ne office / Everybody get him office
04 – Ahooya / Skin pain
05 – Honey / Honey

Hello, this week it is almost like I’m being cursed with
something, every time I pick a record to rip, it is being
scratched or it fails to play good in some other way.
It got on top of me and I can’t seem to get rid of it.
Today I failed to record another album, now
I’m posting an lp I recorded some time
ago. It is an attempt to leave
behind the bad vibrations.
Have a nice weekend.

tracks;

01 – Got to be there
02 – In the dark
03 – Having a party
04 – Time tough
05 – I see you
06 – Take a look in the mirror
07 – Take me home country raods
08 – Fever
09 – Love gonna walk out of me
10 – Revolution
11 – 54-36
12 – Sailing on

Good morning, today’s post concerns an album
from Haïti. The compas of Combite Creole flows
through your speakers in a very smooth and mellow
style, it has a certain coolness that fits your sunday
afternoon. Rodrigue Milien and Toto Necessité
were both part of Combite Creole, I am not sure
if Toto is participating on this album however.
We hear two voices but his name does not
appear on the backsleeve. One way or the,
other, Rodrigue Milien is here,
enjoy listening..

tracks;

01 – Coutt bas residence
02 – Pardon
03 – Solitude
04 – Femme bluffeur
05 – Seme lecon
06 – Histoire lochan
07 – Effort et connaissance
08 – Noces gate
09 – Rapadou – poude café

Hello groovers, it is nice to see so many happy reactions
on Ghanaian music. I decided to post this one by the African
Brothers, it has been waiting for the opportunity to find it’s way
to you for some time now. Nana Ampadu I and his African
Brothers made a big pile of records and I’m glad we have a
bunch of them already. This one on Philips is a very nice
album, great music, great cover, enjoy it..

p.s. the centre hole is not in the middle
at the b-side of the lp, so it gets a tiny
bit false towards the end of the album.

tracks;

01 – Obiara wo nea otumi no
02 – Ankore hunu
03 – Onyame wo m’afa

This Ramblers album from 1971 contains both covers and
songs by Jerry Hansen himself. A sweet mixture of their
own and international hits. The Ramblers were here on 4
other occasions, this is their fifth contribution to the GG.
I love every record I heard untill now and this one forms
no exception, Jerry Hansen is the man that never
disappoints. Get it and spread it,
you know the drill..

02 – Me nim beebi a wewu mada
03 – Owu adaada me

11 – Se eye mi do
12 – Wo gya me a me ye mobo

Hello good morning, we are lucky to find a sunny day this

that’s always a very nice time of year. The magnolia in my
frontgarden is almost bursting open, something we wait for
all year. Sunny weather asks for sunny music, let’s see..

This is the first appearance of Lito Barrientos at this page
and it contains some fine tunes. It brings songs in various
styles like cumbia, bomba, charanga, corrido and porro.

end of the album. Get it now and listen yourself..

I always loved his powerful voice, especially the last song
of this album is a straight killer. Ever since I heard it early
eighties I kept playing it. Still love it today so bringing this
‘Best of’ was a matter of time only. ‘Dancehall worries’ was
also released in a diffrent version and under a different name.
It was called ‘War is in the dance’ on Greensleeves’ album,
“Pass the Tu-sheng-peng”. I have added it as a bonustrack
so you can compair them yourself, enjoy..

01 – Girl you are a crazy lover
02 – I want to know
03 – Give me play
04 – No roof
05 – Addis ababa
06 – Far and wide
07 – Forward home
08 – Dance hall worries

bonus:
09 – War is in the dance
