It has this ultra relaxed feel like the sound of Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe and Ali Chukwumah. Chillin' .. Speciaal voor je luie zondagmiddag hebben we vandaag dit zeer relaxte album[...]

The Ikengas called their style of music “Ikwokilikwo”, a fast- paced form of highlife popularized read more tracks ; 01 -[...]

Over ten years ago we had this one album by Nigerian heroe called Muddy Ibe with his Nkwa Brothers System. What a great artist. So happy to finally follow up on that one. His style makes me think of Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe a little bit, not a bad thing. Wonderful rhythmic break, sweet stuff[...]

Ik moet hoog nodig inlopen met de Samplers die verwijzen naar hoogtepunten in het oeuvre van de Global Groove. Met deze vol.62 bereiken we december 2016 en lopen dus zo'n twee jaar achter op de feiten. Voordeel is dat je op deze manier weer even wordt gewezen op al het moois uit het verleden en[...]

This is Prince Nwafili Ezekude who also calls himself Ali Chukwuma Junior. No idea if he is somehow related to the old Ali Chukwuma but he honours him with this LP. One way or the other, this sounds kind of fresh and young. A little bit like the style of Stephen Osita Osadebe. Incredible rhythm[...]

Last week, when I posted Essous and Nino and read they feel their version of El Manicero is the best African one, I got this idea. I made a collector with 15 versions of the song. I am sure you can come up with loads of versions I did not use, there are so many[...]

I planned to do this for quite some time and now I finally did it. A compilation of songs from 16 different African countrys. The right order of the songs is always tricky and most of time I later wish I chose different. Same shizzle today, but after changing order and files several times, this[...]

I don't know about you but I am a hopeless layman if it comes to dealing with computers. If there is a problem I need to get my system manager to fix it. At this moment I have an argument with Winamp, it refuses to exercise my rippings. It took me quite a detour to[...]
