From 1984 we have this album with one of the co-founders
of Zaïko Langa-Langa, Papa Wemba. I must admit I’m not the
man to tell you much about him. I do know this is a record
I like quite a lot. Pleasant guitars by Rigo
Star and Teddy Sukami, listen ..

Guillermo Buitrago only grew to be 29 years of age when he died.
It has always remained a mystery exactly what kind of sickness he
suffered from. His parents had seven children of which five died
before their thirtienth. Guillermo was one of them. Guillermo Bui-
trago was one of the most successful Colombian composers of all
time. He wrote a number of hits which are still being played today,
especially during Christmas time. Numbers like La Vispera de
Año Nuevo, Grito Vagabundo, Ron de Vinola and Dame tu
Mujer José were huge hits. Find them using the links below.
Enjoy listening to the Musica Parrandera of Buitargo ..

De grote Guillermo Buitrago werd slechts 29 jaar oud. Het is altijd
een mysterie gebleven aan wat voor ziekte hij overleed. Zijn ouders
hadden zeven kinderen waarvan er vijf niet ouder werden dan 30.
Guillermo was daar dus een van. Guillermo Buitrago was een van
Colombia’s meest succesvolle componisten aller tijden. Hij schreef
tijdens zijn korte leven een aantal hits welke vandaag de dag nog
steeds worden gespeeld, in het bijzonder tijdens de Kerst periode.
Nummers als La Vispera de Año Nuevo, Grito Vagabundo, Ron de Vinola
and Dame tu Mujer José werden enorme hits. Vind ze middels onderstaande
links. Luister met plezier naar de parranda van Buitrago ..

An obscure and wonderful slice of Colombian candy today.
Gustavo Rey brings us some crazy dancing tunes from the
old days. Not exactly clear from what year they are, the
variety of songs on this record is exciting. What do
the Spanish liner notes say ?

Con solo mencionar a Gustavo Rey y sus Magos del Ritmo,
ya empezamos a sentir alegria por las venas, pues este mag-
nifico conjunto especializado en los aires costeños de Colombia
nos deleita con un extraordinario repetorio del cual estamos
seguros que será del agrado de todos ustedes.
Sus integrantes, naturales de Santander, son: Gustavo Rey…
al acordeón; Alfredo Lozano… guacharaca; Jorge Espinosa…
timba, y Alejandro Rey en la caja. Todos reunidos son unos
verdaderos Magos del Ritmo; De allí su nombre por cierto
bien acertado y el cual ustedes mismos pueden comprobar
al escuchar este LP, de Sello Vergara, que será uno de sus
preferidos en todas sus fiestas ..

If we want to know some specifics concerning today’s post
we really need the help of you visitors. The story of Zaïko
Langa-Langa is quite complex and I am certainly not the man
to tell you all about it. On Discogs I could not find this album
for instance, only Youtube gives us a little info in its reactions.
It must be from 1984 and rare if we believe those. A tribute
to D.V. Muanda, 3rd episode of the Zéketé-Zéketé series ..

Om iets meer over de post van vandaag te weten te komen, hebben
we de hulp nodig van onze bezoekers. Het verhaal over Zaïko
Langa-Langa is tamelijk complex en ik ben niet de man die je er
veel over vertellen kan. Op Discogs bijvoorbeeld vond ik deze
plaat niet, alleen op Youtube staat wat info in de reacties.
Zo zou hij uit 1984 moeten zijn en zeldzaam. Een tribuut

The day before yesterday we had ‘Hot Violins’, today another
of them Classic Years in Digital Stereo cd’s the BBC launched
during the eighties. Its title says it all, Silly Songs. Going into
a hard lockdown today we can certainly use a little sillyness.
When you’re working at home or just being bored, listen to
these songs and cheer up a bit, enjoy doing so ..

Eergisteren hadden we ‘Hot Violins’, vandaag nog zo’n uitgave
in de Classic Years in Digital Stereo serie die de BBC in de jaren
tachtig uitbracht. Z’n titel zegt alles, Silly Songs. Vanaf vandaag

wat grappenmakerij gebruiken. Of je nu thuis werkt of je
gewoon wat verveelt, luister naar deze nummers en
knap weer wat op. Plezier daarbij dus ..

Over the years we had a lot of records concerning Zaïko
Langa-Langa, off-springs and albums with singers or musicians
that worked with them. This one from 1984 has been waiting
for a long time. The backsleeve is quite damaged and its
overall quality could have been better. The music however
is very much worth listening to. With singers Bimi Ombale,
J.P. Buse, Mondiale & Adios Alemba. Musicians are Popolipo,
Ivon, Oncle Dupuis, Meridjo, Ditutala & Nzenze. Enjoy ..

Door de jaren hadden we al aardig wat platen met, of gerelateerd
aan, Zaïko Langa-Langa, off-springs en platen van zangers of
mu- zikanten die met hen werkten. Deze is uit 1984 en heeft lang
gewacht. De hoes is achterop flink beschadigd en de hele kwaliteit
van het album had beter gekund. De muziek is daarentegen zeer
de moeite van het beluisteren waard. met zangers Bimi Ombale,
J.P. Buse, Mondiale & Adios Alemba. Muzikanten zijn Popolipo,
Ivon, Oncle Dupuis, Meridjo, Ditutala & Nzenze. luister ..
