Empire Bakuba - "Kwasa Kwasa",Syllart Production

Goodmorning Groovers,
Do I have your utmost attention ?

Pépé Kallé is here to wake you up, listen to him and to this !
Thanks everybody for sending me all those super supportive
reactions. Many of you have suggested to help me and re-upload
my old files. However, I think that when I start again, this is really
something I'd have to work out myself. One of you brought me to an
other idea. It was D.Sullivan who sent a message over to Mediafire,
requesting them to restore all my old files. A great gesture. I got
thinking, I already tried to make them reconsider for two times,
but as you already guess, no reaction.

If you my loyal visitors would ALL send an email to Mediafire,
asking them kindly, in your own persuasive manner, to Please
restore the files of deejaymoos@gmail.com , they probably
won't react again but we never know. With your extra weight
something might happen, we are with thousands and if we
do it all together, say this weekend, it is the last hope to
get back what we've lost. If nothing comes in return I'll
slowly start rebuilding myself. The Global Groove is
going to live on, one way or another !

So, what do you think ? Good idea right ?
Let's get to it, find all their e-mail adresses and
throw in the big one, bomb that mailbox with 'kind'
requests and let's see what comes out !
Thank you all for participating
in this last try to get
back what's ours.
Don't be rude.

Mediafire explains..

Good morning groovers,
Yesterday I received mail from the Mediafire-team.
The content speaks for it's self;


Hello,
It has been determined by Mediafire that you have repeatedly uploaded and distributed copyrighted and/or pornographic material, which is a clear violation of Mediafire’s Terms of Service. Due to this violation, Mediafire has exercised our right to terminate and delete the contents of your Mediafire account. For more information please refer to our Terms of Service, which can be read here:

Regards,

You can see it has nothing to do with the whole MU consternation.
My files were deleted because I repeatedly re-upped some deleted files.
It is all my own stupid fault and I am so sorry about it. For the moment 
I shall contemplate what to do next. Finding another host and re-up
my whole blog will take lots of time and energy, but is one of the options.
Give me some time to think it over or if anybody has an idea, let me know.
Thank you all for being super supportive..

I mailed Mediafire and begged them to reconsider and give me another chance.
We'll have to see if they grant it..., one way or the other,
I'm gonna take brake to wait and see,
be back some day soon..

Disaster strikes !

Well, I am very much affraid that this
is the end of the Global Groove. All my links are dead.
Even the most obscure lp's, everything is gone.
I re-uploaded Kwamy Nico Rochereau but I guess it won't
last long so take it rapidly. We'll have to see if anything
changes, untill further notice..
For now, no re-ups..
Sorry, %#@*&#$*%$#*##$%$*!

Kwamy Nico Rochereau -Les Merveilles du Passé 1965,african 360.145, 1984

Goodmorning this sundaymorning groovers, do you
know that phenomena ? Some lp's can hit you instantly
when hearing it for the very first time, you are blown away
and think, this is one of the best I've ever heard. Often these
are the ones that get boring after a while. The lp we have here
today is one of the other kind, you like it instantly but it gets
better every time you hear it. These are the ones that remain
for ever and never ever bore. How lucky are we to enjoy
this wonderful disc for the rest of our lives ?

Strictly looking at numbers of comments I can say
African music-genres are doing best at the GG. Do

I wanna say, "give this lp a try, nothing to loose but half
an hour of your time..and this is one of my absolute
heroes, with Sly, Robbie, Sky, Skully,
Ossie ans Winston.
..and African vibe..

Cheers.

Orchestre Stukas - l'Afrique Danse,african 360.131, 1979

This lp by Orchestre Stukas was waiting to get posted
for quite some time. I was just about to bring it when
'snap crackle and pops' posted it. That was almost a
year ago and I think today is the day to re-post so to
speak. I am sorry my copy has a few little pops at the
very beginning of track one. Further than that it is in
fine condition. Lita Bembo and Orchestre Stukas were
extremely popular and the 'african' releases
360.130 and 360.131 made
a huge contribution.

"The new music, of which Thu Zahina was a leading
component, was raw and energetic, with emphasis on
spiralling, interactive guitars and rattling snare drums
during the seben, and hardly a horn to be heard. Taking
elements of the animation ( shouting ) from strident forms
of shanty-town music, and also from the wordplay used
at Bakongo funerals, the new bands brought an extra vitality
to the music, adapting traditional dances like the soukous
and inventing new ones such as the 'cavacha' to accompany
the extended seben. The groups which capitalised most on
the new wave were Stukas, led by the outrageous showman
Lita Bembo, who played with a frenetic intensity,..."
