Episodes

  1. Orquesta "A" Número 1 / Sonora Curro - Agárrate

    Taken from LPFC 50.012 released by Fonobosa. Credits list Orquesta "A" Número Uno con José Pianeta Pitalua & Sonora Curro de Rufo Garrido, so I'm not sure who plays what here. A very nice Porro groove though, can't get enough! :-)

  2. Cardinal Rex Jim Lawson & his Major's Band of Nigeria - Oweibo Nua

    A sweet slice of classic Kalabari Highlife by the maestro Cardinal Rex Jim Lawson. As the trumpet calls, this music heals your soul.

  3. Geraldo Pino & His Heartbeats - Shake Hands With Your Friends (parts 1 & 2 - edit)

    Geraldo Pino shouts his way through this raw and unpolished alternate version of "Shake Hands".

  4. Sir Waziri Oshomah and Prince Agunu 2 Emokpaire - Okhume Ukhaduame

    Some sweet and messy trippy Afemai highlife by the king of Etsakor, Sir Waziri Oshomah. Originally issued on Ebohon, Nigeria, 1981.

  5. Ifang Bondi - Xam Xam

    Moody mbalax tune with a rough sound recorded in 1976, Senegal, by Ifang Bondi & the Afro Mandingue Sounds from the Gambia, formerly Super Eagles.

  6. Bunzu Soundz - Amand Ayensu

    Trippy Naija highlife tune taken from the Bunzu Soundz LP. Released in 1976 on the Decca Afrodisia imprint, this classic Faisal Helwani production boasts a rather iconic sleeve design by Ghariokwu Lemi.

  7. Boo and The Tru-Tones - Don't Blow This Joint

    Laidback groovy guitar thang by Boo and The Tru-Tones from Saint Lucia, recorded and released in 1974 by WIRL, Barbados. This is probably one of the lesser sought-after titles from the album, but still quite nice nonetheless :-) That's Ronald "Boo" Hinkson on lead guitar, the tight drums are...

  8. Wilson Le Gendre - Africa 1980 Instrumental

    A synth-heavy bouncy soca tune by Wilson Le Gendre recorded at Semp Studios, released on Chip Chip, 1978 T'dad. This is the flipside.

  9. Phirpo y sus Caribes - Y Esa Pava Que

    The Dominican-born composer, arranger and bandleader Porfi Jimenez made it big in 60's and 70's Venezuela! Released in 1972, "Parrilla Caliente", meaning "spicy bbq", is basically just another of those cover albums featuring well-known funk, soul and bugalu tunes with a handful of own…

  10. City Boys Band - Mensuro Owuo

    It's silly, it's joyful, it's highly danceable, it's a Ghanaian danceband highlife tune! Amongst the most famous highlife bands of its day, the City Boys Band were led by the charismatic "Black Chinese", Ɔbuɔba J.A. Adofo. Taken from their 1976 "Ɔdɔ Da Baabi" LP.

  11. Nestor Hountondji & Les Volcans de Porto-Novo - Emalon Ni Hokowo

    Early 70's deep beninese Gazzo beat by Nestor Hountondji & Les Volcans de Porto-Novo.

  12. Ogyatanaa Showband - Osuo Amuna

    Highlife tune from Ghana by the Ogyatanaa Showband, released as a 4-track 7" EP on the Agoro label. For dancing feet!

  13. Paul Ede & His Group - Emota

    Another laidback highlife tune taken from a Nigerphone 45, NXF 216 by Paul Ede & His Group.

  14. Kazis & les Cheveux Crépus - Diables Noirs Champions

    Some Funk from the Congo on part 1 of this 45 by Kazis & les Cheveux Crépus in support of 'les Diables Noirs', the local soccer team of Brazzaville.

  15. La Perfecta - Danse

    Ensemble "Perfecta"" in full force! :)

  16. Rail Band - Mouodilo

    Let's call this a "J.B." styled version of what was already an outstanding Rail Band track. When these guys go funky you'd better watch out!

  17. Orchestre Go Maleba - Luti Massamba 2

    The flipside, congolese afrobeat ;)

  18. Orchestre Go Maleba - Luti Massamba 1

    Part 1 of guitar-heavy congolese sounds by l'Orchestre Go Maleba. Starts off as a nice soukous, after the break it's an afro funky affair ;)

  19. Johnny Gomez and His Orchestra - Scandal

    A smooth calypso by Johnny Gomez on the trinidadian Cook imprint, 1958.

  20. Edmundo Arias - Que Te Pasa

    Clasico by Edmundo "Cabecenido" Arias.

  21. Cardinal Rex Lawson & His Majors Band - Osima Owuari

    Some nice highlife by the master Cardinal Rex Lawson & his Majors Band on Nigerphone NXF 390. Enjoy!

  22. Pedro Laza y sus Pelayeros - El Pescador

    ~♫~

  23. Les Leopards - Si ou dit ça cé ça

    Another early 70's tumbélé by les Léopards, a very popular band in Martinique.

  24. Los Mirlos - Chinito En Onda

    If you dig the occasional cumbia and have no negative predisposition towards guitar players on acid, peruvian Chicha might be the thing for you :-) Taken from the Infopesa LP INF. 208203. For more on Los Mirlos and other peruvian sounds, check out the Vampi Soul & Barbès Records catalogues for...

  25. Lucho Bermudez y su Orquesta - Gaiteando

    El rei del clarinete with a pretty neat gaita taken from Discos Tropical LDS 2063. Sabor!

  26. Climaco Sarmiento y Orquesta Emisora Fuentes - El Gallo Giro

    Climaco Sarmiento going overboard on this old classic cumbia. I've been looking around for a reference to this tune and on which album or 45 it was originally issued. Haven't found anything yet, seems to be somewhat forgotten... OK, so maybe not a clasico, but it should be! :-) Here it is taken...

  27. Juaneco y Su Combo - Vacilando Con Ayahuasca

    A-side to INS 4125. Sorry again for crackles & woosh, couldn't hold this one back though... ;-) Enjoy this colombian issue of a peruvian 'chicha', calor!

  28. Carlos Arnedo - El Clarinete De Simón

    Beautiful gaita by Carlos Arnedo. My apologies for the crackles and noise, it's recorded from a very worn record, the previous owner apparently spinned it to near death, and I think it's easy to see/hear/feel why! ;-)

  29. Pedro Laza y sus Pelayeros - Cumbia Cienaguera

    ...and here you have Pedro's take on another big cumbia classic, la cienaguera! Allow me to quote a dear friend and fellow musical enthusiast, eloquent as always: "Zwoef!"

  30. Pedro Laza y sus Pelayeros - Cumbia Sampuesana

    Nice version of this classic cumbia by Pedro Laza, always ready to service your dancing feet! Taken from a very clean copy of the Discos Fuentes release ST-FLP-0014 ;-)

  31. Serge Christophe accompagné par Henri Debs et Son Combo - On Bel Ti Chatt'

    B-side to Disques Debs 45 DD 241.

  32. Les Leopards - Playa de san luiz

    A 'mosaico' tune by Les Leopards taken from Hit-Parade HPR 025. Does this sound like some kind of bouncy tropical island cumbia or is that just me?

  33. Climaco Sarmiento y Su Orquesta - Palenque Candela

    Early palenque tune by the great Climaco Sarmiento, taken from Discos Fuentes STFLP 0082. Sorry again for the crackling and other sound artefacts, again a pretty beat-up copy... Just think of it as some kind of aural patina reminding you this sound is reaching out from a different spacetime as it...

  34. Daga H. Georges dit "Docteur Senan" et l'Orchestre Black Santiago de Cotonou - Ayi É Akomè Yé

    B-side to Voix Africaine VA 011, backed by the legendary Ignace De Souza & his Orchestre Black Santiago. They were quite prolific and backed a whole host of singers etc with, I might guess, quite an output as a result. Of the few tunes I've heard so far, this is probably one of my favorite.

  35. Sonora Curro de Rufo Garrido - El Patuleco

    Fine cumbión tune by Sonora Curro, taken from the Fonobosa release LPC 001. I'm not quite sure, but it seems this will be reissued by Soundway Records on an upcoming compilation (link below). You can trust Soundway to deliver a real treat there, as always. In case you don't know this label, don't...

  36. Emilia Herrera - Mamba

    B-side to Discos Victoria 6922 by Emilia Herrera and Los Soneros de Gamero. Some brainiac scratched out the release year, my guess it's from the early 80s.

  37. Juaneco y Su Combo - La Incognita

    B-side of INS 4121. Sorry for the crackles & woosh, it's a pretty worn out copy... Still worth a spin though, no? Might sound better with some fine ron ;-)

  38. Javier R. Rodrigez & the Players - Rollin De Dice (Instrumental)

    Instrumental side to a killer funk 45 that is quickly gaining quite a rep with all you funkateers out there. It would be nice to see a full album by these guys instead of a limited run of only 200 copies...
