Carlito - Pangala,Rythmes et Musique

Remember 'Bon Samaritain' by Papa Noël, or 'Maya' by
le Poete Simarro ? They are just two of the famous songs
sung by this great voice. Carlito also made quite a few with
le Grand Maître Franco and his OK Jazz. This LP gives us
some of his own songs and I'm not quite sure who are the
members of the band that accompany him here. Can you tell
us by clicking on the small picture ? The album was realised
with the help of some friends of the C.L. restaurant in
Brazzaville. Listen to Carlito and his wonderful voice.

Angel Viloria y su Conjunto Típico Cibaeño -Merenges vol.1, Canta: Dioris Valladares,Ansonia ALP1206

Merengue is the music of the Dominican Republic and Angel
Viloria was one of it's originators. "Angel Viloria and his magic
accordeon are just the spark that starts the fire burning. The
inspired saxophone solos of Ramon Garcia and the expert
handling of the difficult 'tambora' typical Dominican drum by
Luis Quintero, are the combination that brought to life the famous
merengues 'A lo escuro' and 'Consigueme eso'. these two famous
merengues as played by Angel Viloria y su Conjunto Típico Cibaeño,
helped give birth to a whole new panorama of music."

Good evening groovers, how are you today ? Welcome at the
Global. I have another sweet record on 'african' for you. It's a
true beauty with the great Nyboma Mwan'dido doing the vocal
parts. Directed by Verckys and I think originally on Editions
Vévé. Nice picture of the two in wintercoats, I bet it wasn't
taken in their tropical home country. How do you like

Re-PostZeca Pagodinho - Zeca Pagodinho,RGE 1986

I received a couple of messages telling the link of this LP
was dead. I re-uploaded it and decided to re-post. One of
my first encounters with samba was by that great collector
that David Byrne launched on his Luaka Bop release for
Virgin Records. It's from 1989 and called 'O Samba'.
The cd contains the great 'S.P.C.', which came from Zeca
Pagodinho's debut LP, the very one we have right here.
In the mean time Zeca grew out to be possibly the most
popular Samba and Pagode interpreter of today. Get this,
it's still one of his best works.

The Legend - Various Artists,Atra Disc 1980

On Atra Disc we find an LP with some of the finest of
reggae artists. It opens with 4 tracks by the great Augustus
Pablo. The genius and his melodica. I usually prefer songs
but Augustus' instrumentals make a big exeption. All numbers
are backed by these swell musicians; Thin Legs-Carlton Barret
on drums, Family Man on Bass, Leroy Sibbles - rhythm guitar
and Ossie Hirbert on organ. Only track #6 is backed by 'Umojo
Group'. Love that Max Romeo song, 'Crime does not pay',
and how about I Roy singing: "Ya Ya Yahama"...

Samba Mapangala and Orchestre Virunga - Malako,Earth Works / Rough Trade 1984

I just got back from a little trip. Accompanied a friend to Scotland to retrieve
a car. We flew to Edinburgh on friday and returned by ferry at Rotterdam
this morning. On saturday we drove up along Loch Lomond and back down
at the other side, passing by Barelochhead. What a magnificent scenery. I'm
sure to go back there some day soon. Did I leave you in good company with
Alex Konadu ? I guess I did. Let's see what we have here today.

Zairean vocalist and band leader Samba Mapangala has been a dominant figure in
East African music since the mid-1970s. Arriving in Kampala, Uganda with his
group, Les Kinois in 1975, they eventually made their way to Nairobi in 1977.
The beginnings of the famous Virunga sound were already evident in their
recordings prior to the breakup of Les Kinois in 1980. Shortly after that, Samba
recorded the now famous Malako recordings in Nairobi with his newly formed
Orchestra Virunga. The Malako LP was one of the pioneering releases of the
newly emerging world music scene in Europe in the mid-1980s and an instant
favorite. The style was typical of other East African groups of the time: a lean
sound with complex, interlocking guitar lines; rapid-fire bass; light, fast-paced
percussion; with horn or sax overlays. What was different about Samba and
Virunga was the quality of the product. The songs began with Samba's catchy
melodic lines and evolved over a nine or ten minute period through beautiful
vocal harmonies and brilliant guitar and horn soloing. Samba's voice, even
today, is unique among African vocalists for its pleasing quality and versatility.

master Alex Konadu. I had heard it some time ago but
today finally, we honour him. I don't know from what year this

5 songs seperate on the b-side. Ghanaian highlife at it's best.

On Editions VEVE International we have this album by
Minzoto Wella-Wella, I can't tell you much usefull on

When I had already recorded and ripped this fine album
I found out my fellowblogger from Orogod posted it in december
2009. I even left a comment, a man's memory fails once in a

more attention so I decided to post it nevertheless. This Bellot
MAG 106, comes with a different sleeve if that means something.
The musicians on Star Number One's 'Jangaake' are; Papa Serigne
Seck, Yakhya Fall, Alioune Badara Diallo, Alioune Hane, Moustapha
N'diaye, Doudou Sow, Ali Penda N'doye, Thierno Kouate, Mamane

but I think this is a re-release, being on another label,
license Disques Griot, Aboubacar Touré.

Ali Toure - dit "Farka",Sonafric SAF 50.085, 1979

Ali 'Farka' Toure was born Ali Ibrahim Touré in Bamako, Mali.
He was the 10th son but the only one that survived. His parents
nick-named him 'Farka', which means donkey, because he was so
stubborn and persistant. Famous in all of Africa his music is a blend
of traditional Malinese and blues. Ali reached worldfame with his '94
album 'Talking Timbuktu' which he made with Ry Cooder. The album
was crowned with a Grammy award as was his 2005 album 'In the heart
of the Moon' with Toumani Diabate. He died 66 years old of bonecancer.

on this one. Other heroes on this LP are Djo Mpoyi who
worked with Franco's OK Jazz aswell as Kiyiki Massamba
'Flamy'. Track No.6 was written by Lubadika, Pablo Lubadika
Porthos is most certainly here. I think Djo Mpoyi is fantastic on
