Hello & welcome to yet another episode of this podcast!
Push your furniture aside, crank up the volume and get ready for some serious nyaash-shakin', afro style!
As some of you might have expected after hearing (& liking?) one of the previous posts, it's all afro & very, very groovy - don't take my word for it though...
The Ekambi is supposed to be a little intro, but when the Force 7 kicks in
things should start heating up considerably... Special mention goes out to 2007 Matsuli's label of the year Oriki Music for releasing the "Allo Bamako" selection of which the last tune is taken. It's only their second release, but if upcoming releases are going to be anywhere near as good as the first few - and all signs point to "f*ck yeah!" - we're in for one hell of a ride!
I'll cut the silly banter and get to down to it, here's the playlist:
00'00 - Ekambi Brillant - Africa Africa
01'58 - the Nigerian Police Force Band (Force 7) - Asiko mi ni
06'55 - Bola Johnson - Lagos special
11'17 - Orchestre Lissanga - Okuzua
19'42 - Sir Victor Uwaifo & His Melody Maestroes - Akayan ekassa
22'40 - Bokoor Band - Onukpa shwarpo
25'43 - Hamad Kalkaba - Fou sei allah
30'21 - Orlando Julius & His Afro-Sounders - Mura sise
37'11 - the Ogyatanaa Show Band - Disco Africa
41'14 - Jingo - Fever
47'49 - Lokonon Andre & Les Volcans - Mi kple dogbekpo
51'24 - Djelimady Tounkara & le Rail Band du Mali - Djiguiya
If you like the stuff I'm posting, let me know. Feedback is often underappreciated... Not here though!
Enjoy!
