Carnaval is over and I didn’t post any Brazilian music, you are
right Fabricio, it has been a while. Tried to make one but I failed
and now it’s determined to wait some more. Soon come. Today it is
time for Congolese treasure. I don’t know a year on this one, no
personnel, it doesn’t give us any information. Info or not, listening
to this great lp is no waist of time. Find more on Pamelo here .

By the way, files labled ‘Zimbabwe’ are Up again !

For this fine saturday I’ve got something a whole bunch of
you go crazy about. It is another lp by one of those Ghanaian
groups who recorded in Nigeria. Opambuo International Band
of Ghana brings us this typical sound. Ghanaian highlife with
a Nigerian sauce over it. Being a heretic I regret one title but I
just love the sound of it so it got through anyway. The album
is on Rogers All Stars and from 1982, guaranteed topnotch
production, it’s rare, it sounds beautiful, better take it quick.

I am sorry I didn’t re-up anything during the past few days,
just too damned busy to find the time, today I
did some 20 highlife albums though,
stay tuned and hang on…

I am quite sure that when some recordcompany,
big or small, would think of releasing a track from this original,
it is very likely they would cut off the biggest part of the song.
These tracks span a whole lp-side, 16 minutes like on this a-side
is short, often the tracks take 20 to 30 minutes. The chance this
music will reach you through ‘legitimate’ channels is very small.
This hard to find music is now meant to survive
the ages coming because it is spread in it’s original form.
To recordcompany’s I’d like to say, please release this wonderful
music through an official cd, I challenge you.

1 Egwundioma

I really got the taste of it, when listening to all that
marvelous benga while re-uploading, I couldn’t resist
to do another. This is Kenya Partout vol.4, we had
volumes 1 and 6 earlier, great covers and hot music.
No need to try and find this one as a cd release.
Check that picture clicked upon, poor
girl has two flies in her face.

Good morning, after all that hustle about streaming or not
streaming, let me tell you this. I asked Mr.Scott politely to
give an honest answer to my question. I asked him; tell me
which of the lp’s posted here are in some way or another
causing a conflict with copyrights ? I want to cooperate
and remove every single lp that does. .First he refused to
answer me but kept sending comments to the GG. I told
him; “answer me or your comments will be blocked from
here. Again our nice Mr. Scott kept nagging about how
bad I am, sharing my old lp’s with you, my dear fiends.
He is no longer getting through here, end of story !

Shame that Stern’s label, which I always promoted for
their fantastic work is now contaminated with
Iain Scott’s nasty virus and
awful smell of money.
Shame..

Good evening groovers, last week I stated that I would begin
uploading the GG from the very beginning and in chronological
order. You know how it works, once you’ve made a promise
like that, plans change immediately. So I did a bunch of my
compilations and also worked back from the present. I did
do the first 20 or so but it seems hard to get there. Post #1
was on may 6, 2008. It was Victor Olaiya in the Sixties.
Once you’re there, work your way up post by post..

What do we have new ? Okay, new is not exactly the word,
this one is from 1982 and a favourite. I always loved Rochereau’s
wonderful voice and sound, this here lp makes no exception.
On the Discostock label from Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire.
Just the thing for your fridaynight,
mellow yet passionate groove..

1 Jalousie mal placé

Despite all tragic happenings in the past weeks I am also
happy that we can still go on doing what we did. I wonder
if our buddies Owl and Nauma are okay. Didn’t hear a word
of them anymore. Leave us a message guys.

Meantime, a little reward for all our determination and patience.
This is a great album, the 1977 re-release of a probably 1966
predecessor. Sweet rumba from Congo’s sixties with some
heroes of the days; Nino Malapet, Jean Essous and Dewayon.
remember, password=globalgroove
Bit by bit the older files re-appear. I am not hurrying but if you
want me to re-up something in particular, just leave a note and
I’ll try to keep up with requests, thnx & hang on…

Good evening,
Someone asked for that Nico Mbarga lp which shows in
my sleeve-face pic. It is a ‘best of’ with very familiar tracks
so I thought this one would be a better plan. This is Prince
Nico Mbarga with his New Rocafil Jazz, I do not know from
what year it comes. Anyhow, it was quite some time ago, we
had us an lp by the man so good idea to get him out here again.

This morning I started re-uploading the GG from the very beginning.
I now use another account, I change the name of the folder and use
password protection. To unpack, simply fill in ‘globalgroove’, and it goes.
Damn, I now realize how primitive I made the first posts. My sleeve-pics
are vague, no html yet, it really was necessary to upgrade some of the
older ones but it takes loads of time. I guess I spent about three hours
to re-up and reorganize some 13 lp’s. It’s better not to calculate how
long it will take to restore the whole damn thing. In the near future I
guess I’d better ask a couple of friends to help me. We’ll work
something out. At least I made a beginning and that means
we’re up and running again. I prefer to do it in chronological
order but can make an occasional exception of course.
Well, one way or another, let’s just hope they won’t
kick my files out ever again and
we’ll get there eventually.

Goodmorning this sundaymorning groovers, do you
know that phenomena ? Some lp’s can hit you instantly
when hearing it for the very first time, you are blown away
and think, this is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Often these
are the ones that get boring after a while. The lp we have here
today is one of the other kind, you like it instantly but it gets
better every time you hear it. These are the ones that remain
for ever and never ever bore. How lucky are we to enjoy
this wonderful disc for the rest of our lives ?
..better don’t miss..
