Kijk, dat zijn verzoekjes waar ik blij van wordt, José vroeg
me of ik meer wilde posten van Andrés Landero, Juancho
Polo Valencia en/of Alejo Durán. Van Andrés Landero heb
ik niet meer zoveel maar de andere twee, geen probleem.
Maar eens beginnen met een plaat van Juancho Polo Val-
encia. Deze is uit 1974 en bevat een rijtje nummers die we
nog niet eerder hadden. Heerlijke vallenato van één der
groten in het veld .. down, deel en luister ..

Well, these are the type of requests that make me happy.
José asked me to post some more of artists like Andrés
Landero, Juancho PoloValencia or/and Alejo Durán. With
Andrés Landero I have not much left but the other two,
no problem. Let’s start with another record by Juancho
Polo Valencia. This one is from 1974 and contains some
songs we didn’t have yet. Delightful vallenato by one
of the masters in the field.
get, spread and listen ..

For the lovers of Congolese music we’ve got another
record with Bumba Massa today. We had two albums
earlier, on one he was called Sammy instead of Bumba.
Bumba Massa used to work with the greatest of artists.
Names like Empompo Loway, Bavon Marie Marie, Johnny
Bokelo, Vicky Longomba, Franco Luambo, Pablo Lubudika
and Syran Mbenza are a few that make huge impression.
On this 1988 album, Bumba Massa appears with Lokassa
Ya Mbongo and Dally Kimoko among others. Although
mainly key-based (I am more fond of guitars myself)
Bumba Massa’s sweet voice make this a nice record ..

Voor de liefhebbers van Congolese muziek hebben we
nog een plaat met Bumba Massa vandaag. Eerder zagen
we reeds twee andere elpees, op één van de twee werd
Bumba ‘Sammy’ genoemd. Bumba Massa werkte met de
meest indrukwekkende atiesten in zijn leven. Namen als
Empompo Loway, Bavon Marie Marie, Johnny Bokelo,
Vicky Longomba, Franco Luambo, Pablo Lubudika en
Syran Mbenza zijn natuurlijk niet de minste. Op dit
album uit 1988 verschijnt Bumba met Lokassa Ya
Mbongo en Dally Kimoko o.a. Hoewel op deze
elpee voornamelijk synthesizers soleren (ik hou
zelf meer van gitaren) maakt Bumba Massa’s
mooie stem veel goed ..

Good morning groovers, yesterday a certain commenter
told me to stop posting music from cd and go back to
bringing stuff from rare old elpees. Okay, no problem
if you wish to criticize my work. However, if you do this
anonymous, I shall not publish it. Let’s
see, what do we have today ..

If you want something rare, this is rare.
I can’t seem to find them anywhere on the web.

Over the years we saw several albums with Los Corraleros
de Majagual. They were very famous. Today we find this
record with Los Carraleros de Bogotá. Some of the songs
were written by Efrain González of whom we found some
records before. Other songs were written by Julio Sanjuan
and José Barros. We have an elpee with Pedro Quinto
which also contains songs written by these three. I’m
not sure if any of them took part of Los Corraleros
de Bogotá. If anybody does, please share
your knowledge ..

On Harlequin we find this lovely cd with the music of Filiberto
Rico and his group Rico’s Creole Band. He was a Cuban clarinet
player and one of the first to bring Cuban music to Europe.
Read more in this Bio.

Blessed in Havana, Cuba, in 1910, Filiberto Rico was one of
the primary wave of music artists to popularize Latin American
music throughout north European countries. An alto saxophonist
who doubled on flute, youthful Rico gigged and documented with
several rings in Paris and Copenhagen through the past due ’20s,
especially Moises Simon’s Orquesta Tipica Cubana. Rico’s Creole
Music group was produced in 1930 and interested the Parisian
open public using the conga, the beguine, as well as the bolero
until a proliferation of Nazis (equipped with a racist Weltan-
schauung that criminalized the cultural variety embodied in
the word “Creole”) managed to get essential for this Afro-Cuban
musician to absent himself from the spot through the years
1941-1946. Rico’s postwar reputation in Paris and along the
France Riviera is renowned, and continues to be related to the
mixing of Western european and Latin American designs. His early
recordings had been reissued in two amounts on compact disk with
the Harlequin label in 1993-1994, and his postwar profession is
documented on the retrospective two-fer released in 2003 by
Fremeaux & Associes. ( MusicianBio)

From Macondo, the capital of Vallenato, we’ve got this
slice of vinyl with Rafael Mendoza y su Conjunto. Rafael
is accompanied by acordeonist Norberto Ramirez and
the rhythms of Costa Antillana. We found the title song
on a collector I posted in june 2018. Today the full record.
We’ll have to accept a little background noise ..

Uit de hoofdstad van de vallenato, Macondo, vandaag deze
prettige plaat met Rafael Mendoza y su Conjunto. Rafael
wordt vergezeld door accordeonist Norberto Ramirez en

gepost. Vandaag de hele plaat, wèl een beetje ruis ..

Al is Arsenio Rodriguez, de blinde meester van de ‘Son
Montuno’ al niet meer onder ons sinds 1970, (bijna 50
jaar geleden) zijn muziek blijft fascineren. Op het album
van vandaag staan enkele songs die we al eerder zagen
langs komen, echter tevens wat andere. Hieronder zie
je hoe de grote Arsenio werd verdreven van de eerste
plaats in onze download Top 20. Hij blijft echter
stevig staan op nummer twee en dat zal
vast en zeker nog lang het geval zijn ..

Eventhough Arsenio Rodriguez, the blind tres player and
master of the son montuno, left us already in 1970, (almost
50 years ago) his music remains fascinating. On today’s
album we find some songs that have been here on earlier
occasions but also a couple unknown ones. Below this
article you can see how the great Arsenio was driven
from his number one position in our download Top 20,
I’m sure however he will remain in number
2 position for quite some time ..

Om de zoveel tijd bereikt mij het verzoek eens de meest
neergeladen plaatjes van de Global Groef te etaleren. Nu,
hier zijn ze dan weer eens. Je begrijpt dat door de jaren de
volgorde wel eens verandert. Ayinla Omowura staat echter
zo ferm voor op de anderen dat deze niet snel van z’n troon
zal worden gestoten. Ook Arsenio Rodriguez’ primitivo is
zo’n winnaar al is deze dus reeds een tijdje terug van
één naar twee verdreven. Loop er nog eens langs ..

Every once in so much time people request to see the list of
Global Groove’s most downloaded records. Well here they are
once again. You will understand the list changes every once in a
while, however, Ayinla Omowura sits on the throne so firmly, it
is not likely he’ll fall off soon. Another sheer winner is Arsenio
Rodriguez’ Primitivo although he went from the number One to
Two quite some time ago now. Give them another shot ..

Another delightful album with Gentleman Mike Ejeagha.
The man under who’s guidance a great artist like Celestine Ukwu
started his career. Mike’s music is very relaxed, his
Igbo lyrics concern stories about daily matters. He is told
to have contributed over 300 recordings to the National
Archives of Nigeria. Get it & spread it ..
