Some of you might have noticed already, Global Groove’s engineers
are working hard replacing all the old Rapidshare links. Through the past
few years, more and more of our links were deleted for unknown reasons.
We thank Rapidshare very much for their service and move on to Mediafire.
Untill now I didn’t hear any complaints, so if everybody is still happy, allright.
If we keep up the present pace all should be done in another week’s time.
What have we got cooking to celebrate this huge progression ?

This is one of the finest collectors on the african label here,
from 1969 but with recordings from 1964, 1965, 1966 1968 and 1969.
We find Rochereau with his African Fiesta but also Bholen and Negro Succes
and African Jazz. A beautiful Congolese collection, Succes d’hier, yesterday’s
highlights, presented to you today, enjoy them.

It is Kosmos Moutouari week I guess at the GG. After Orchestre
Sinza and Les Bantous de la Capitale, today an album by Orchestre
le Peuple and Trio Ce Pa Kos. Back in 1972, Kouka Celestin, Bemba
Pamelo Mounk’a and Kosmos Moutouari left Les Bantous de la Capitale.
It took the musical pioneers one year to settle and get their show on the
road. On august 4 of 1973 they presented l’Orchestre le Peuple and Trio
Ce Pa Kos and scored huge succes with the people of Brazzaville.
Great idea to display panther and piano at the albums sleeve, shame
some record stores didn’t have enough respect for a nice cover. I tried to
remove that ugly sticker but the only options I had were to destroy the
sleeve or to leave the sticker. I left it so you can see who ruined it.
Anyway, enjoy the nice music !

Some time ago we had an LP by Orchestre Sossa. The brothers Pierre
and Michel Moutouari played in it. Before that they were members of
Orchestre Sinza Kotoko with their other brother, Kosmos Moutouari.
On this album by Les Bantous de la Capitale we hear him perform.
But the main man here was Samba Mascot who wrote most of the
numbers in 1976 for this great band. Enjoy Les Bantous de la Capitale.

Today’s album is a true jewel. Most LP’s from Congo’s 70’s
contain several songs per side, this one too but they’re melted
together like a big medley. A-side 10 tracks and B-side 11. I am
specially fond of the rhythm work on this LP, absolutely smashing.
My French is not so well, if yours is, check the backsleeve for a lot
of info on these guys ( in file ). Enjoy Orchestre Sinza Kotoko.

One of our visitors asked me if there was any chance on another

I think Daniel Engobo must have been a real ladies man given
the eight titles on this LP. Another rare gem on the Sonafric
label. Daniel Engobo and Orchestre Lolango. I hardly have any
information. It’s from 1979, SAF 61.015 worthy a couple of spins.

Goodday Groovers around the Globe, this sunday evening
I finally found some time to make another post. My time is
quite limited lately, lots of work and other occupations consume
almost all of it. It is about to change and the normal pace will
return soon. What have we got for you today ? Our friend Timothy
asked if I have ‘Sorozzo’, a 1978 album by Rochereau. I’ve been
looking into it Tim but don’t have that one ( yet ). What I did find
however, is this 1982 album which contains the track ‘Sorozo’.
I know it’s not exactly what you’re looking for but you’ll like this one
aswell I reckon. One way or the other, Rochereau always stands
for top productions and this is absolutely one of them. Enjoy it.

It’s been a while since we had us some Nigerian highlife. It
has also been a while since we had us an album by the
excentric Oliver de Coque. He always looks quite special,
original, like no other. This 1981 LP sounds as good as it
was recorded yesterday, fresh rhythms and guitars and
of course Oliver de Coque’s special way of chanting. Oliver
Sunday Akanite is his real name but if you would call him; Oliver
de Coke, Oliver de Fanta, Messiah of Ogene, Oliver de Identity
or Oliver de Coque, he is all. Enjoy Udoka Social Club of Nigeria.
