Some time ago, after Rapidshare had killed a bunch of my links,
I removed 5 Juju albums from my page. I should have just replaced
the links but I didn’t. Now I am posting them once more.
This is an album by the great Dele Abiodun and his Top Hitters Band.

Warrior and his Oriental Brothers were a popular band in Nigeria
late 70’s and early 80’s. This one’s from 1981 and brings us
the usual amount of listening pleasure. Just two tracks
but better don’t miss them.

1 Ndo ma iki
2 Onye obula zoba isi onwey a

A couple of weeks ago I posted an album by Lutumba Simaro that
appeared to be a fake. To make up to all of his fans, today a real
one. This time I’m sure we are dealing with the real Lutumba.
4 years after the death of le Grand Maitre Luambo Franco.

An outstanding album by one of the greatest Congolese singers
of all time is this one. This LP contains some historical tracks,
Rochereau’s sweet voice was, and still is, a winner. Listen.

Let’s have us a little more Highlife from Nigeria.
Igbo Highlife that is with the great Oliver de Coque.
I especially like the harmony’s on this album, blended
with Oliver’s Congo style guitar, another Nigerian killer.
Sorry for the many crackles and snaps.

1 Engirigbo
2 Ife gadi nma na Nigeria
3 Klub nationale
– Uwa bu ofu mbia

Pambou Tchicaya Tchico is back with another album from his
Nigerian period. Tchico’s albums are hot already but these
are even hotter. This is the fifth album with more or less
the same cover. Well, as long as the music is this good,
who cares? What can I say? Fantastic Tchico
is simply Fantastic.

tracks;

1 Méditation
2 Mieux vaut tard que jamais
3 Lettre ouverte à mon époux
4 Zebola

Another great Congolese guitarplayer is Johnny Bokelo.
This LP doesn’t have a year, can you tell us what it is ?
I can only tell you it’s a very nice album, and know nothing
more about it, I’d say just down it and go listen..

If it’s your birthday today, then this one’s for you !
