Merengue is the music of the Dominican Republic and Angel
Viloria was one of it’s originators. “Angel Viloria and his magic
accordeon are just the spark that starts the fire burning. The
inspired saxophone solos of Ramon Garcia and the expert
handling of the difficult ‘tambora’ typical Dominican drum by
Luis Quintero, are the combination that brought to life the famous
merengues ‘A lo escuro’ and ‘Consigueme eso’. these two famous
merengues as played by Angel Viloria y su Conjunto Típico Cibaeño,
helped give birth to a whole new panorama of music.”

Good evening groovers, how are you today ? Welcome at the
Global. I have another sweet record on ‘african’ for you. It’s a
true beauty with the great Nyboma Mwan’dido doing the vocal
parts. Directed by Verckys and I think originally on Editions
Vévé. Nice picture of the two in wintercoats, I bet it wasn’t
taken in their tropical home country. How do you like
Nyboma’s Afro hairdo ? Isn’t that wild ? Great stuff.

It’s been quite a while since we had us some ‘African Brothers’.
This LP is titled ‘Sanbra’, after the song written by Alex Konadu.
It does not tell us from which year it is, do you know ? It does
tell us it’s a Nigerian production on Jay Jay Records, listen.

tracks;

1 Otan hunu ara kwa
2 Konadu ( Sanbra )
3 Meko nea odo no
4 Odo nti madiamia
5 Kofi Asante

Speaking about magnificent voices, Madilu System
was gifted as very few others. Together with heavy
weight Franco he made this 1985 album on Edipop.
I can’t give you an informative background story but
an album like this can go easily without.
Just listen.

tracks;

1 Mamou
2 Pesa position

I received a couple of messages telling the link of this LP
was dead. I re-uploaded it and decided to re-post. One of
my first encounters with samba was by that great collector
that David Byrne launched on his Luaka Bop release for
Virgin Records. It’s from 1989 and called ‘O Samba’.
The cd contains the great ‘S.P.C.’, which came from Zeca
Pagodinho’s debut LP, the very one we have right here.
In the mean time Zeca grew out to be possibly the most
popular Samba and Pagode interpreter of today. Get this,
it’s still one of his best works.

tracks;

1 S.P.C.
2 Coraçao em desalinho
3 Jogo de caipira
4 Se eu for falar de tristeza
5 Quando eu contar
6 Cheiro de saudade
7 Pout-Pourri de Partido Alto

Got no words tonight.

On Atra Disc we find an LP with some of the finest of
reggae artists. It opens with 4 tracks by the great Augustus
Pablo. The genius and his melodica. I usually prefer songs
but Augustus’ instrumentals make a big exeption. All numbers
are backed by these swell musicians; Thin Legs-Carlton Barret
on drums, Family Man on Bass, Leroy Sibbles – rhythm guitar
and Ossie Hirbert on organ. Only track #6 is backed by ‘Umojo
Group’. Love that Max Romeo song, ‘Crime does not pay’,
and how about I Roy singing: “Ya Ya Yahama”…

tracks;

1 Augustus Pablo – Pablo in dub
2 Augustus Pablo – Hap ki do
3 Augustus Pablo – Lovers mood
4 Augustus Pablo – Palace of peace
5 Big Joe – Jah guide
6 Freddy McKay – I’m a free man
7 Horace Andy – Children of Israel
8 Max Romeo – Crime does not pay
9 I Roy – Yamaha ride
10 Horace Andy – Problems

Don’t you just love a good piece of ‘benga’ ? Tonight’s post
brings us this wonderful album by Orchestre Sega Sega.
I didn’t get much wiser about them on the web, maybe
you are able to tell us something more ? I do know I like
this LP very much. Names that appear are; Odhiambo
Ossumbah, Osumba Rateng, Peter Owiso, Alego Ogwanjo,
Silvester Odhiambo and Okech Ombasa. I especially like
the vocal contributions here, less highly pitched harmonies
but more basic and spoken parts increase the atmosphere.
