Seven '7 inches' from Congo vol.2 -Various Artists

I think it's good fun making these singles compilations so I did another.
Again seven singles and their b-sides which is always the second part
of the song. Labels in chronological order; Editions Ndenge Moko,
Editions Sakumuna, Bana Moja, Editions Sakumuna, Edition Diabim,
Bana Moja, Editions Ntimbo, some are Kenyan and some are Congolese.
The last track is pretty false towards the end due to decentered middle hole.
It happens more with singles, they spin faster than lp's so it gives more
disturbance when wobbling. Steady or wobbly,
enjoy listening to these Congolese tunes.

Seven '7 inches' from Congo, vol.2

Les Etoiles du Zaïre,Pépé Kallé, Nyboma, Bopol -Hommage à Emoro,Syllart Production

Pépé Kallé and Emoro, Nyboma and Bopol. Names we all
love to hear when browsing the web. It means we have found
us another piece of the big puzzle. This album on Syllart does
not complete our Pépé Kallé sequence but we're getting a bit
closer with every lp. Once more, kick aside your furniture,
volumes up and let go, you're well on your way to
loose a few pounds, grab that chance..

Re-Up & Re-PostAnibal Velasquez y su Conjunto -Lo Ultimo, Discos Fuentes

For this saturday a re-up and re-post. Anibal Velasquez is still one of
Colombia's biggest artists. I read somewhere he made over 300 records
a huge amount. Still performing, he turns places upside-down. If you
ever get the chance to see him perform do not hesitate and buy that
ticket instantly. I hope to get that chance myself one fine day.
For now, enjoy this oldie but very goodie oncemore, check # 8.

Okukuseku International Band of Ghana -Take Time, Rogers All Stars 1982

Oh yes my musical friends, Chief Sammy Kofi is back at the GG
with a truly splendid album. The more I hear from him, the more I like
it. On Nigeria's 'Rogers All Stars' comes another lp by this Ghanaian
highlife group that thrilled loads of visitors already, don't miss.
Being a fanatic heretic I am very glad with title number three
Awurade yesu wich means, life's much
better without jesus !

To everybody asking for re-ups I want to say once more;
"I am not re-uploading my dead links on request.
Every once in a while when I feel like it, I shall re-up
strictly what I want to on that particular moment !
Sorry 'bout that, it's simply too much..."

Seven '7 inches' from Congo

Warrior & his Oriental BrothersInternational Band-Original -Hapum Mebiri, Afrodisia 1980

It's getting harder to find them all the time. I can hardly remember
the last one, it was in july 2010. One way or another, their lp's
always find a happy listening ear on this guy, this one makes
no exception. Found it shortly and am lucky to share,
..jus' a bit crispy,

Verckys et l'Orchestre Vévé -"Dynamite" Verckys,african 360.016, 1970

If you ask me to give a list of my favourite albums, I
can't. There is so much wonderful music, it's impossible
to say, this is the best one. However, I can tell you this
is one of my absolute favourites. It's not a competition but
if it was, Verckys is a sure winner. Been searching to find
this lp ever since I downloaded it in februari 2010, I don't
remember from what page but if it was yours I am still grateful.
Lucky me, I found it recently and a quite clean copy as well.
Track 8 opens with a little pop but futher it's in perfect condition.
'african' 360.016 is now another gap filled on the shelf,..yeah !..
Have a very nice weekend..

The Best of Prince Nico Mbargaand Rocafil Jazz International,Rogers All Stars 1983

Some requests came in for the music of this fine artist. Prince
Nico Mbarga and his Rocafil Jazz appeared here with over 10
albums. I shall re-up them in the near future, most of the links
are still dead. This is the 'Best of Nico Mbarga' which, among
others, contains his biggest worldwide hit, 'Sweet Mother'. I
never really understood why it was such a huge succes,
it has probably everything to do with the fact Prince
Nico worships his parents and family life. On this
'best of' album all titles point in the same direction.
Maybe not my favourite Nico Mbarga tracks but
a fair representative of his oeuvre.

tracks;

1   Sweet mother
2   Good father
3   Family movement
4   Na my choice

Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey& his Inter-Reformers Band -Oluwa Ni Olusa Agutan Mi,Decca 1978

I wonder how many albums he made, this is number 21 or
so in my collection alone. Allmost every recordhunt ends
with another one or two of his great lp's. I am very fond
of Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey's rhythmsection.
Listen to those subtle beats, zooming bass
and sweet vocal harmony, sure to find
more of them in the future.

no.1 juju master..

Lokassa ya..m'bongo?. - Assitou,Special 81, Passeport Music of Africa,Disc Orient DO 015, 1981

On this 5th of may, a national day of celebration in the Netherlands,
I want to give you this special lp. I found it at the last recordfair in
Utrecht. The dealer made me pay quite a price and at first I didn't
want to but after some discussion it did change owners. Produced
in Côte d'Ivoire it is an album one does not get the chance to find
easily. With Asi Kapela - vocals, Lukau Jean Jules - guitar solo,
Ringo Moya Lotula - drums, Mamana Antoine - bass guitar and
Keletingui Papus - bass & vocals. Lokassa - accomp. guitar.
The lp is a bit crackly and has a few pops but it's not that
disturbing, the b-side has an uncentered middle hole
that makes it sound a bit false towards the end.
Still, I'd say give it a go, rare and wonderful
Lokassa ya M'bongo material,
I'm a huge fan.

We saw them before. The 22 Band from Guinée. I am not the
person to give you a whole lot of background information. All I do
is sharing the stuff I listen to myself. Quite enjoyable listen this
one. If your French is sufficient the backsleeve might tell you
a bit more, if not, I'm quite sure you'll like
it anyway, get it now.
