This is Orchestre Régional de Sikasso, the fourth album in
this series that I have. I believe there’s one more at least by
Orchestre Régional de Mopti. If any one has it..
To be more complete I added some backcover information below.

tracks;

1 Récital
2 Mali sènèkèlaw
3 Nafarima
4 Batuta mori

I was going to make some nice posts today, at least I thought
I would. Work is coming in between again. If you run your own
business, and staffmembers turn sick…, you know.
To post a little something I ripped this 12″ single,
really didn’t have more time.
The coming days are not much different I’m affraid.
I wish I could take a month off, I’d stuff you all. Ha ha.
This is Gasper Lawal, a West African ( I think Malinese )
who went to the UK in the sixties and practically played
with all rock artists around.
He is his own man with his own unique style, Check this out.

P.S. At the first opportunity I’ll rip Ochestre Régional
de Sikasso for you, it’s No.4 in that Malinese series.
Probably tuesday, untill then.

tracks;

1 Kita Kita
2 Oro-Moro

Forró is music from Brazil’s North-East, a very pleasant style
that makes you feel at home right away. Accordeons always
seem to give me that warm kind of feeling you have with
friends and family. Anyway, this is Nazaré Pereira, a singer
with a very nice round voice. And ‘Amazônia’ an album, perfect
for a quiet sunday afternoon. By the way, if you like Forró,
take a look at ‘Forró em Vinil’ a very nice page you find
in my list of favourites at the side-bar. Listen.

tracks;

1 Riacho do navio
2 Baia veia Baia
3 Xapuri do Amazônas
4 Sodade meu bem, sodade
5 Flecha de fogo
6 O Baiao em Paris
7 O que vier eu traço
8 Forró no escuro
9 Nuvens que passam
10 Kalu
11 Boi bumba

P.S. there seems to be something wrong at ‘Forró en Vinil’, sorry.

THIS IS A REPOST !

I got a few comments on this LP that was posted already some
time ago at Global Groove. There seemed to be something wrong
with the quality, so I decided to rip it again to the latest
standards. Cover scans are also better.

This is an oldie. From 1967 this is Byron Lee with some very
happy music. Jump Up is Calypso related and originally not
from Jamaica. But Byron Lee controlled all Caribbean styles.
If you need to upgrade your party summerstyle, this one is
guaranteed 100 % Jump Up !

1 Riverbank Jump Up
2 Benwood Dick
3 El negrito
4 The road march
5 Jamaica Jump Up

10 Village ram
11 Surprise merengue
12 Laziest man

For all lovers of Mali music, here’s number 3 out of the 4

1 Sanjina
2 Kayi
3 Nanyuman
4 Duga
5 Malisajo
6 Tèrèna
7 Badage

Martinho da Vila is back with a true beauty.
From 1975, this is ‘Maravilha de Cenario’, only the best
musicians were good enough for this session.
A piece of Samba you don’t want to miss.
Posted by many already, but this one deserves it.

Dear Groovers around the Globe, it’s been three days, time flys.
The problem is not the music, loads of LP’s are piled up,
waiting, fighting in my mind for a place on this humble
page. No, time is the problem. I am too busy doing other things.
But hey, here’s some fresh input, check it out.

From 1978 this is Errol Scorcher & the Revolutionaries
with Sly and Robbie. I was 20, a rookie, as green as grass.
This LP always reminds me of those days, when we used to ‘Kraak’
houses. ( a typical Dutch phenomena, ‘borrow’ an empty house )
With Sly and Robbie at the wheel, you can’t drive wrong,
Fantastic album by Errol Scorcher, great voice, nice songs.
A huge personal favourite.

tracks;

1 Steppin’ worldwide
2 Sister Pat
3 Cardiac arrest, instradub
4 Jolly bus ting
5 Show I the way
6 Heart failure, instradub
7 One man ranch
8 Rockers hat
9 Post mortem, instradub
10 Jump and prance
11 Baby mutha
12 Rigor mortis, instradub

Being a blogger you keep learning things all the time.
Today we found out that very long titles sometimes frustrate
the process. I now understand why I was unable to rip this LP
before. It has all titles at the A-side glued together and at
the B-side, same story. So I wrote all titles in a row but
Winamp-Pro that I use to rip with, could also not handle this.
Now I found out what caused it I can finally post this LP.

Here’s another great album of Juju music from Nigeria.
Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey & his Inter-Reformers Band,
( Africans don’t like short names ) comes in at Global Groove.
Track 1 contains 6 songs in one, track 2 same thing, enjoy this.
Juju is sweet !

I felt like listening to some Samba today, so I ripped this LP
by Clara Nunes for you. Um pouco de samba nunca faz mal.
Produced by Paulo Cesar Pinheiro who also co-wrote the
opening song. Orchestrations were made by maestros Geraldo
Vespar, Ivan Paulo, Nelsinho and Sivuca, not the least
I would say. Listen to Clara Nunes.
