Look who’s back. Prince Nico Mbarga scored a huge hit in 1976
with Sweet Mother and eversince he sings about social and
family related matters. On this here album we hear about his
view on polygamy. Worn out cover but the LP itself
is still in quite good condition. Enjoy Nico Mbarga.

Orchestral leader, saxophone player Eddy Gustave somehow always
brings out the best in artists. The sessions on Eddy’Son Consortium
Mondial draw my immediate attention when I find them. Such as this
one by Mayos, outstanding vocals. I am also exited
by the extraordinairy work of this drummer, ‘Nole Ti-Paul’, very
nice and tight. And of course Eddy’s sax, superb like always.

1 Nalembi-kotuna

Saxophone player Kiamanguana Verckys was one of the members
of OK Jazz for years and later started his own Orchestre Veve.
This LP’s first side, with Orchestre Veve is recorded in 1969
if I’m not mistaking. B-side is from 1973 and so is this album.
Tracks 5,6,7 and 8 are with Orchestre Les Grands Maquisards.
What can I say? this is so beautiful, no words…

Good day groovers, this morning I wrote you a message
that was quite negative and after a while I started to
feel bad about it. I have thought it over and decided
to change it. So, from this day on only happy posts.
If a link gets blocked or a post removed, I will not
complain about it. I want to ask you to report dead
links to me and I shall simply remove them. This way
Global Groove can remain a place where you like to
come. No negative feelings, just good ones.
Sorry for using bad language and stay
tuned for happy messages.
Thanks for visiting the Global Groove.
