Good evening, welcome back after a day of blogger
chaos and confusion. I woke up this morning and
found my two latest posts gone. Blogger was buisy
with maintenance and blew it somehow. I decided
not to wait and took immediate action to repost them.

What do we have for you today ? Michelino, who spent
10 years with l’Afrisa International and 4 years with
Franco’s TP OK Jazz at this point, gathered Rochereau,
Franco and some collegues to do this project on the
lesser known Michita label in 1984. Check it out.

tracks;

1 Mutambula mpimpa
2 Prince d’XL
3 Point carré
4 Va et vient

Last night’s post also disappeared so we’ll post this
LP again too. It’s a rare album of funky psychadelic
highlife, a more or less ‘ungooglable’ gem. I had written
down all them difficult names for you but since blogger
threw my posts away, get the info from the backsleeve
after downloading it. Hope you like it.

tracks;

1 Fa akonndwa
2 Ase yene woka
3 Yempe hen ho asem
4 Oyaa suro oyaa
5 Obaatan pa

Okay, let’s see, Blogger made some big mistake
while updating their website and my two latest posts
got lost somehow. I’m not gonna sit and wait so here
they are once more. In a while they restore them and
we have them two times all of a sudden. We’ll see
what happens. Anyway, enjoy Colompilation 5 again.

Well Fernando from Zaragoza, I guess this is your
lucky day. First visit at the GG and you already find what
you’ve been looking for so long. It just so happens I had
this one waiting for the appropriate moment and that might
aswell be today. Isn’t it strange they wrote his name wrong ?
I can’t imagine you don’t check the spelling before print,
unless they thought they would sell a couple LP’s more,
I can’t imagine that.
Typical Eddy’Son album,
clear production,
smooth sound.
Sweeet.

1 Ne refuse pas
2 My love

Syran Mbenza gathered a bunch of great musicians to
realize this project, take a look at it. This must be the
line-up you were waiting for, am I right Apurva ? This one
is for you buddy. Oh..and yes of course, you folks can take it
aswell. Let’s all move our lazy buds around
on this wonderful sound..

tracks;

1 Youyou
2 Mon ami

It is not an easy task to find sixties Trinidad stuff let alone
even older. This Lp by Sparrow is from 1959 and before he
was called ‘Mighty Sparrow’. It has 1959 Hi-Fidelity which
didn’t have a whole lot of dynamics and that shows. Still,
eventhough it doesn’t sound fantastic, this album is a rare
piece of old calypso, in fact it is Sparrow’s first recording
for RCA. Click on the backsleeve to read it properly
and get it while you can. I am especially happy to
finally have the original ‘Benwood Dick’, been
searching for that a long time.
Have a nice sunday.

1 Lulu
2 Keep the city clean
3 Cowboy Melo
4 Maria
5 Charlie
6 Leave the dam doctor
7 Monica doo doo
8 May May

Songs written by Matadi ( de la France ), Luntadila,
Makamba Dali and by the leading man himself, this is
‘Verckys’. Backsleeve does not give any info on who
the musicians and vocalists are. Would you be able
to shine a light on this matter, please leave us a note
and satisfie some like-minded friends, enjoy listening.

André Bimi Ombale Mwana Wabi, one of Zaïko Langa-Langa’s
main singers died last friday, april 29, in a hospital in Kinshasa.
Bimi arrived in Tout Choc Zaiko Langa Langa band to its creation
in the 70’s as a drummer, and with his inimitable voice, emerged as a
good songwriter beside Jossart Nyoka Longo, Evoloko Joker, Papa
Wemba, Mavuela Somo, Efonge Gina…. After the departure of Evoloko,
Papa Wemba, Mavuela Somo, Bozi Boziana for creating Isifi Lokole band,
Bimi Ombale remained as a headliner in Zaiko Langa Langa with Jossart
Nyoka Longo. He left Zaiko Langa Langa and created Zaiko Familia Dei
with Lengi Lenga, Ilo Pablo and others. Bimi finally created his own musical
group called Basilique Loningisa before becomming a Christian musician.
Bimi died, but he will remain present among fans of Congolese music
because he leaves a huge work of music with many titles like
“Joliba”, “Misolina”, “Ngongi”, “Banyango”, “Mopaya zoba”,
“Elima ngando”, “Sandra lina”, etc ( Allvoices News )

This record album is a special donation by Nana Kwame
Ampadu I to Okwahu United Football Club ( Asaase Aban )

For your lazy sunday afternoon, enjoy.
