Bimi Ombale was one of the founders of Zaiko Langa-Langa
in 1969. This LP is from 1989 and proves Bimi was still
able to write some wonderful songs just
as he did at Zaïko's.

It must have been somewhere early 2006, a close friend introduced
Loronix to me, the first music-blog I learned about. I was sold right away,
when I found out how it worked blogging took over a part of my life.
Every morning I browsed through a load of blogs and always started
with Loronix. What would Zecalouro have for us today ? Any samba ?
I got totally hooked. When I visited relatives in Rio de Janeiro in februari
2007, I could not resist to cantact Zecalouro. On tuesday februari 27th
we went on a small city trip. I picked him up at his home and we went
to some of the recordshops he used to frequent and had lunch in a 'Comida
a Kilo' restaurant. We talked a lot about music and had a wonderful afternoon.
Zecalouro had really infected me with this blog-virus, no serious, he inspired
me so much, in may 2008 I could not keep it anymore, the birth of the
Global Groove was a fact and I still hold Zeca responsible for that..
As many of you know, Loronix is off the air for more then 2 years now.
Untill today nobody knew why and what happened to Zecalouro. I had also
failed to get in contact and did not know what was going on. Last week I
had the idea of making this tribute and gave it another try to reach him.
Due to health matters Zecalouro was forced to stop his once so popular
music-blog. I had a brief contact with him. Fortunately he is doing much
better now, working as a musician as he once did before.
His life, his blog, his decision..
I dedicate this compilation, fully inspired by himself, to Zecalouro and Loronix !
I respect your choice in life Zeca, however, Loronix was of such richness in
Brazillian music, it will be sadly missed till eternity.. que saudade..

I received a request for more City Boys Band. This one has
a life behind him, it's a bit crackly but still. Finding albums
like this is getting harder all the time so we must take it as
it is. I do not experience it as disturbing and we don't have any
audio-fanatics here. In short, enjoy this old slice of vinyl...

It's one of those albums you were always wondering about.
We've seen it at the backsleeves of other Sonafric LP's.
Can you imagine how it feels to find it in a big pile at the fair ?
YES !, ooops..now don't react too happy, the price will go up so,
oh ehh.. okay ehh.. I'll take this one as well.. ahem.. a little later
euphoric feeling I can't describe. Today it comes your way, get
to it and share with the other happy groovers around the globe.

An absolut magnificent find is this rare collector. It contains
a fine example of a Pierre Moutouari song from the seventies.
Track no.6 was from his hand. The album is filled with songs

'Owuo aye me bi'. If it's written by them or by the great

Editions Populaires 10e Anniversaire 1965-1975,
african 360.081, 1982
Last friday we had us another recordfair here in Utrecht.
I went out there and found quite some wonderful LP's you're
gonna see passing by in the near future. Now I found out
something I want to share with you groovers. Do you
remember this great Franco LP, 'Editions Populaires 10e
Anniversaire 1965-1975' ? From the very beginning I tried
to remove the two annoying little jumps in the first song; 'Cinq
ans ekoki'. For years I had been thinking that the two disturbing
jumps were from my copy only. I went out searching on the world
wide web but found only copy's with the same disturbing two tics.
It may sound silly but because of this I thought the whole world
was listening to my copy, every time I found it somewhere, it had
the same two jumps again. Last friday at the fair, I found the album
again and bought it for 15 euro's thinking I now finally had a clean copy
of the song I like so much. What the heck, it has the same two little
annoying jumps. So, my fellow collectors, it's now finally clear,
'african 360.081' contains a recording of which probably is NO
clean version available. I ask you, is there anybody out there who
has a clean version of 'Cinq ans ekoki' without a jump in the brrrrrr-part
and in the bla bla bla-part ? I like the song so much, I wanted to use it
in some compilation long time already but never did it because of the
disturbance.( oh, I did, sorry ) Please somebody, give us a clean copy...!

By the look at it's sleeve one would say it's the cover
of a children's book. Don't be misled however, the music
on this LP is for the whole family. Wonderful mid-seventies
stuff I wish we had in our hitparade in those days. Succes
guaranteed on your dance-floor. Listen to Kenya Hit-Parade !

We heard him with Orchestre Sossa and with Orchestre
Sinza Kotoko. Pierre Moutouari and his brothers Michel
and Kosmos participated in quite some bands. It appears
he had been away for a while, well that's history now.
This is 'Le Grand Retour de Pierre Moutouari'.

In 1984, this was the first LP on which Eddie Palmieri

Want another LP of Nigerian highlife ? Oliver de Coque
is not the world's greatest singer but his music has
a groove I absolutely dig. That much said, it would
deserve at least a couple of spins, two Mp3's
of a tiny 20 minutes each, give it a go..
tracks;

Gilles Sala was the man who compiled this LP for the Afrique Riviera
label. Tasteful and rich in variety as the title already suggests. I am
particularly fascinated by the likembe songs like tracks 2,7 and 16,
heavenly atmosheric sounds from the Congo with Jean Essous
on saxophone, but also the music of the Mingole brothers is a
discovery. My guess would be this stuff is from about 1972..what
would you say ? Get it and listen to this rare collector.

Tonight, my fellow groovers, I am asking for your help on
a matter. While recording this LP I discovered a mistake.
Track 4 is obviously 'Aziza' instead of track 3. I am assuming
the titles on side-b have been switched around but I'm not 100 %
sure. Track 1 is titled correctly to my opinion, I think to hear the
name in the music. Maybe track 2 and track 3 are still wrong.
Can you give us your view on the case ? Good,
than we can sit and enjoy these four
jiving songs, check...
