Here’s one more requested post, but remember I don’t have much of
this stuff. My copy of this rare LP looks so brand new, and still
I can’t seem to find any signs of it being re-released. It must
be a collectors-item in mint condition. Or I’m just being plane
stupid, that happens sometimes.
This sweet album was recorded in 1976.
It takes you on a West-African trip, you won’t forget !

tracks;

1 Maxi mirimagni

As you might have noticed I am a big fan of Johnny Pacheco.
Well, he’s back, this time with Hector Casanova and they are friends.
The album is produced and directed by Johnny, Hector takes care
of the vocal parts. Johnny Pacheco and Ramon Rodriguez backgr.
vocals. Other personel; Louis Ortiz, Hector Zarzuela, Ray Maldonado,

Rodriguez and Santiago Ceron.
Enjoy this,

From over a decade later, this is ‘Super Diamono de Dakar’.
The group has at least two members of Super Jamano, Omar Pene
and Moustapha Fall. Mbalax grew quite a bit older and sounds
very modern here. I always loved track no. 8, live version
of ‘Mam’. Great guitarwork by ‘Lamine Faye’.

1 Soweto
2 Mansani Cisse
3 Borom Darou
4 Lou Bax
5 Souboba
6 Artist
7 Mansani Cisse instr.

Okay, on special request some more old stuff from Senegal.
With a psychadelic touch this is another Mbalax group from
the Dakar 70’s, Super Jamano de Dakar. I found some discussion
on the internet about who is playing and singing on this LP.
I’ll tell you; on bass – Baila Diagne, solo guitar –
Papa Gasse, El Hadj Ousmane Diagne – Organ, Synthesizer and piano.
Aziz Seck – Drums, Omar Pene – African percussion,
Bassirou Diagne – vocals, Amadou Baye Diagne – backgr. vocals.
Cheikh H Sabidou Niasse – Trumpet, Moustapha Fall – trombone,
Ndiaga Samb and Tonia Lo on Alt Saxophone.
It was recorded at the Jandeer Night Club in Dakar, mid 70’s.
Enough talk, better go listen !

I think I have been a little over-productive this weekend, but
that’s okay. I had a good time ripping all these old LP’s again.
I use to transfer them to CD first, using a Sony CD Recorder.
A pure audio device, not linked to PC or what so ever.
Then I rip that ‘mother-CD’ at 320 kbps using Winamp Pro.
It’s a process that takes some time but gives great quality rips.

This is Global Sampler, vol. 2, it samples the posts from between
May 13 and May 19.

Finishing post this Samba-Sunday is for an oldie. From 1964
Ed Lincoln comes in with a quite different type of samba.
His albums became wanted collectors objects after some dj’s
worked on his tophit ‘Cochise’.
‘A Volta’ is an LP he made after recovering from a car accident.
You can hear and see he’s happy to be walking around again.
