Yesterday I went to Amsterdam to check some of my favorite
recordshops, and found some great stuff, among others
this ‘Alcione’,
I know some bloggers who like her extremely much, like my
Sambapals Justin and Arnaud, and so do I, Check it guys.

From Nigeria here’s another fine piece of Juju, ‘King Sunny Ade’
is back with a smile. How do you like his new dresses ?
On the previous Sunny Ade rip I made the mistake to add skips
manually, I did not make that mistake again.
The first side of the album aswell as the second are like
one big track, I thaught I’d better leave it that way.

tracks;

1 Osupa mi tole – Bi ko seni akii gbon – Ibi lero siwa – Ota ile pada lehin mi
2 Ara nfu mi – Oro fi sibe – T’oluwa ni o se – Alhaji abudu amoo ( Shola motors )

We’ve seen a Rolando Laserie LP before at Global Groove,
but this one is much older. From ’76 comes this Bolero LP,
it contains some of his biggest hits from those days.

What have I picked for you today ?
This is truly a fantastic album. Arsenio Rodriguez is back
at Global Groove with volume 2, I don’t know the year on both volumes,
if you do ? Let us know please. The cover picture, clearly made in a
studio is quite hilarious. The sound however is superb.
One of the best Cuban LP’s I’ve ever heard !

tracks;

1 Necesito una mujer cocinera
2 Quien soy
3 Papa Upa
4 Maldita droga

Summer is really pulling through in the Netherlands.
With temperatures around 30 degrees, we try to do everything a bit
slower then normal. And what type of music has that mellow tropical
slowness ? Ofcourse, Bossa Nova, Brazilians know to ajust their pace
like no other. Sergio Mendes comes in with a smooth Bossa LP.
With the participation of Bud Shank, Sebastiao Neto, Chico Batera,
Rosinha de Valença on guitar and with the sweet voice of Wanda de Sah
this is a great spin.

tracks;

1 So nice
2 Somewhere in the hills
3 Berimbau
4 Tristeza em mim
5 One note samba
6 She’s a carioca
7 Let me
8 Consolaçao
9 Reza

Here’s a post, especially interesting for it’s collector’s value, more then
for it’s musical value. ‘Los Millonarios’ played instrumental versions of
well known songs. For instance, ‘No me busques’ of ‘Los Corraleros
de Majagual’, or ‘El carretera’ of ‘Guillermo Portabales’. It gives an
impression of all the styles played in Colombian music. And as always,
‘Discos Fuentes’ brings a cover with a pretty girl. Check back cover
for style info. Attention : Track no. 1 jumps one time !

tracks;

1 El burrito
2 Dios como te amo / Espumita del rio
3 No me busques / Pedazo de acordeon
4 La Bogotana
5 El besito
6 El carretero / Cartagena de Indias
7 El palo
8 En mi viejo San Juan / La tos
9 El tren de las once / Cumbion del cangrejo
10 Feria de manizales / La palma de chontaduro
11 Yo rengo penas / Seis choreao
12 La manzana

I always had a certain weakness for the unique sound of Monguito’s
voice. When I was ripping This LP it made me remember some of
the old days, what a fine days they were. The great cover artwork is
by ‘José Exposito’. Listen to this Fantastic album! That’s an order.

tracks;

1 Ave Maria morena
2 Mayari
3 Camina y prende el fogón
4 Salsa
5 Yo soy Cagueyrán
6 Ven y ven
7 No hay amor sin caridad
8 Acere Cipriano
9 Las cosas de tu mente
10 Nunca vayas a pensar

When I am hunting for records at a fair for instance, I am always
looking out for anything on ‘Discos Fuentes’. one of those days I
was the lucky finder of this rarity. Celina Gonzalez and Reutilio
Dominguez are Cubans, this is a Colombian release that
contains some of their early successes.

tracks;

1 A Santa Barbara
2 San Lazaro
3 Flores para tu altar
4 A la reina del mar
5 Maria de la luz
6 El hijo del elegua
7 Defiendeme Santa Barbara
8 A la caridad del cobre
9 A la virgin del Carmen
10 El congo Ramon
11 Tambores Africanos
12 Antonia Cervasio

PAY ATTENTION
Before you start downloading this rare Calypso Collector, please
take notice of the fact that track # 8, ‘Don’t touch me nylon’, is
unfortunately broken. It jumps a few times. I had to trick track #
10 too, it was too broken to place. This is a rare collector of old
calypsos, no year is given. An LP full of ‘naughty songs’, you don’t
need too much imagination to hear between the lines. Taken the
condition and some cracks and hiss, this is still a spin worth it’s
while, and how about that great cover ?

tracks;

1 Lord Kitchener – Kitch
2 Duke of Iron – Big bamboo
3 Lord Kitchener – Muriel and the bug
4 Duke of Iron – I left her behind for you
5 Hayden – He like it, she like it
6 Duke of Iron – Parakeets
7 Marie Bryant – Mommie out the light
8 The Charmer – Don’t touch me nylon
9 The Charmer – Is she is, or is she ain’t
10 Marie Bryant – Don’t touch me tomato
11 Duke of Iron – Music lesson
12 Duke of Iron – Postman

Today I’m in an all Brazilian mood, Rio on my mind, Yes,I know,
many bloggers have ripped this LP before me, but still I could not
resist to do it once more. And I enjoyed it very much ! A very young
‘Martinho da Vila’, recorded 39 years ago and sounding as fresh as if
it was yesterday. This album deserves to be posted again and again.
