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.

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.

Just after becoming independent in 1970, Mali’s young musicians
started to form a National Orchestra. Since there were much more
good players than needed, they formed A, B and C orchestras.
This was the first of them all, lead by multi-instrumentalist
‘Kélétigui Diabate’. On his West African travels he learned to play
guitar, trumpet, flute, saxophone and counter-bass. He plays the
guitar on this LP. We heard tracks 3 and 5 on the Mali Collector
some time ago already, now here’s also the rest of the only album
ever recorded by this group.

tracks;

1 Malamini
2 Taara
3 Janfa
4 Son t’aw la
5 Duga
6 Saakoba
7 Nonsi komotigi
8 Ciwaara

This is Merengue by Dioris Valladares from the Dominican
Republic. It is traditional old merengue at it’s best.
Good from beginning to end.

( I used to say some untrue things which
were changed after the various comments )

For the lovers of Senegalese Mbalax, here’s the latest

more modern than the previous album we saw.
The music is modern and fresh, the singing of Omar Pene,
as sweet as always.

Today my fellow Groovers, it’s rainy and grey and I really can’t
seem to think of a theme for the sunday. So with an open mind

nice album from 1981, to me this is nostalgia.
