Homenagem a Super Mama Djombo, a banda-sonora da Guiné-Bissau

We begin with Senegal of course with the Orchester Laye Thiam, born of a temporary schism within the Star Band of Ibra Kasse and led by the trumpeter of the same name, before his departure for Congo where he accompanied it seems James Brown in Kinshasa. Then it's the spellbinding Poly Rhythmo drummer Danialou Sagbohan for a maddening Afro-Cuban Latin track. His friend Gnonnas Pedro, the greatest singer in West Africa (with Ballaké), continues with his combination where the guitar replaces the piano of the descarga, the same goes for the next track, by Sam Mangwana, another golden voice that sang for both Franco and Tabu Ley Rochereau, the two great rivals of Congolese music, for his only album recorded in Portuguese. A tribute to Mozambican emancipation, where he advocates a return to the land, on a heady rumba / soukouss. No wonder when you know that his mother was Angolan! The Portuguese-speaking pole takes us to Cape Verde via Senegal with Mendes, child of the Medina, popular suburb of Dakar, former member of the Cabo Verde Show combo, immensely popular here. We then take the big leap to Cameroon, with funky Bikutsi and Asiko frenzied where the bass is unleashed on tribal rhythms to die for. We conclude with a jump to Ghana, the vocal harmonies of Thomas Frimpong and the guitars of Eric Agyemang bewitch this highlife highclass.

Have you noticed that o albums of African music from the 70s/80s there is a reggae track? Groups not known for this style but who have all tried to resume, with
more or less success, this tropical music from the so-called third world. Reggae, like rap, has its roots in African music, and the blues of black people. It is a one-hour tribute that we offer you here, after having carefully chosen "off-track" titles by artists known for other styles. It shows how African musicians interprets the Jamaican riddims but also how motherland rhythms influenced these descendants of slaves deported to the West Indies.

To hear is to understand. So here you are, my son, in search of the why, the how, the imponderable of human existence. Suffering… Evil… Death… Destiny. So put your ear within reach of my voice and listen. Hear therefore the word of the first times, my word from before creation. That of wisdom. The words of those who cannot be involved in lies. The word of a Spirit. Each man stays and passes through this world charged with a mission. Which he fills. Or betrayed by failure. Why is this so? Listen then to the revealed word.

On September 14, 2024 @radio aLhara 18:00 Bethlehem Time we invited Afrika Cassette Club for an hour of 100% tape cassette 200% Zouk mixtape. Founded by TANGAL Beatz, member of Analog Dakar Club, Afrika Cassette Club is a collective dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Africa's analog heritage through the medium of cassettes. For decades, cassettes have played a vital role in the dissemination of music on the African continent, serving as a means of communication and artistic expression for many generations. This medium has allowed the transmission of local musical styles and has fostered the emergence of various cultural scenes. This collective positions itself not only as a guardian of the past, but also as an actor of the present, where analog meets digital to enrich the African music scene.

♦ MEXE (Kaktus Koraï)
Bercé par la culture antillaise et le Hip-Hop, Mexe découvre les sonorités lusophones en 2012 et tombe dans la marmite immédiatement. Son goût s’affute vers les racines des mouvements actuels (1980-2000) notamment après son premier voyage au Portugal en 2013.
La musique n’est pas un simple ensemble d’éléments sonores et rythmiques. C’est aussi une histoire culturelle à laquelle Mexe accorde une grande importance.
Il participe à l’essor culturel de ses racines en rassemblant dans ses mixes les musiques lusophones (kizomba, semba, coladera, funana…) et les musiques afro-caribéennes (zouk, cadence, soukous, rumba…).
Capable d’animer des soirées zouk & kizomba, Mexe ambiance également les dancefloors contemporains avec des sets disco-tropical.
Audiophile et issu de l’école reggae/hip-hop, la conception des sets de Mexe réside dans la sélection musicale de qualité : NO MP3, NO ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING

Super Mama Djombo, a banda-sonora da Guiné-Bissau
This mix, inspired by the book "Les Grands" by Sylvain Prudhomme, is a tribute to the legendary Guissau-Binéen group "Super Mama Djombo". The book tells, during a day when the group reforms, the story of its founding members through their past greatness, betrayed dreams and a good dose of revolutionary saudade... served by a relentless groove.

I have grouped together tracks from their legendary albums that were all recorded during the same session, a crazy thing. Some are very rare to find and I was lucky to have them all in my hands, some are mine, others belong to our old friend and digger Erwann Le Vigoureux who deserves a Big Up. There are also tracks by José Carlos Schwarz and his Cobiana Jazz, their political and musical mentor and some references to Amilcar Cabral, the father of Guiné-Bissau independence.

Silence is Not Oblivion
as broadcasted 14.12.24 @ Radio AlHara - راديو الحارة

Let's give our bodies to these 15 minutes of funky high life from maestro Pat Thomas and burn our wings in trance. Let's explore the masters of the dance of enlightened spirits with the Almighty Poly Rhytmo on the shores of the Latin lagoon. The mystical arsenal is mobilized by Lord Tabu Ley Rochereau and his prior soukous incantations. Heading to Cameroon engulfs us in the heart of the Bantu tropical forests, where the bass of Aladji Touré sets the tempo for the heartless minstrels Moni Bile. Xalam and the great You close the dusty ballroom, we fly away to the landlocked and secret Mandingo lands, with a last tribute to Madiba. "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."

In 1960, the Republic of Dahomey gained independence. A series of coups d'état followed. In 1975, Matthieu Kérékou established the People's Republic of Benin. Like Mali, Angola and Congo-Brazzaville, his regime was inspired - to the point of caricature - by Soviet Marxism-Leninism. Porto-Novo became the capital. And Fidel Castro's Cuba, which swayed to the sound of the guaracha, was the model to follow.

In the 70s, Beninese groups such as the Tout Puissant Orchestre Poly-rythmo de Cotonou brilliantly embodied this Afro-Latin wave. One of the pioneers of this genre in the land of Voodoo was the late Gnonnas Pedro, who died in 2004, who also played with this legendary orchestra.

This salsa music, like Congolese rumba, is a perpetual back and forth between Africa and the Caribbean, returning like a boomerang to the continent in the 60s. From this decade onwards, rumba, salsa and pachanga irrigated the streets of Cotonou and Porto Novo with groups with apt names: El Rego y sus commandos, Ignacio Blazio osho y orchestra Las Ondas and of course Gnonnas Pedro y sus Panchos.

AFRO NOT AFRO #2 by BillyWett for Analog Dakar Club on Radio Alhara

One hour of mind-blowing body-moving West Arican Music. A unique harvest of forgotten treasures, underrated gems and timeless tunes, taken from strictly originals LP's, carefully digged during our 15 years spent in the Motherland !

Intro : extract from an Hamadou Hampathé Bâ interview about acculturation.
1- Georges DIBY : Abore Mebe - taken From "La Marche Du Bélier" LP (Diby Ivory Sound – GDLP-001) Ivory Coast 1978
2- Georges Ouedraogo : Azagia - taken from "Special Haute Volta" (Mouridisc – MLP 010) Burkina Faso
3- Lamine Konte & Fode Drame : Loumbekoula – taken from "Cora FunkCora" LP (Eboni Records – ER-00005) Ivory Coast
4- Mamo Lagbema : Djam Balo - taken from  "Laisses Couler - Vol. 1" LP (Inter-Disque Fazao – IDF 0113) Togo
5- Victor Uwaifo And The Titibitis : Arabade - Taken from "5 Days A Week Love" LP (Polydor – POLP 012) Nigeria 1977
6- Compare Issouf And The Noble Kings : Kadiogo – Taken from "Kadiogo" LP (Lido Musique – LIDO 031) Ivory Coast 1978
7- Amade Cyrille & Les Volcans De La Capitale : Amon Lou Do Ma Fon – Taken from "Aye! Mon Cœur" LP (Ketu Records – KÊTU007) Re-issue
8- El-Em-Fanaja : Yé Do Ya Nu Da Tché – Taken from the "Avi Ya Ma Do Gbě Ho" LP (Not On Label – EF 010) Benin
9- François Lougah : Kankan – Taken from "Bénédiction" LP (Crezan Productions – JAM 001) Ivory Coast
10- Théo Blaise Kounkou : Fausse Amitié - Taken from "Bella Amicha" LP (Disc-Orient – DO 006) Ivory Coast

We start with two Georges, both musical giants and forgotten pionneers of Ivorian and Burkinabe music from the 70's,  guitarist (and architect!) Georges Diby with his unique blend of traditional Adioukrou music, funk, disco and latin arrangements recorded in NYC  and George Ouedraogo, master Drummer from Burkina Faso, with this ultra rare gem Azagia taken from the mysterious LP "Spécial Haute Volta".
Cora F U N K : does it need to be clearer ? Lamine Konte and Fode Drame play the cora, mastered at Motwon/Hitsville USA… followed by Togolese Mamo Lagbema who takes us back to mama Africa with his voodoo r'n'b.
Uwaifo delivers his Tibiti Beat with "Arabade" : he has been awarded a gold disk to mark sales of more than 50,000 copies of his album "5 Days A Week Love". " The ceremony took place at the Gondola night club in Lagos, and was televised nationwide as part of a program about Uwaifo, who was one of Nigeria's top stars.
Warning ! Compaore Issouf backed by legendary Ghanaian band "The Noble Kings" is a must hear : let you dive deeply into west african traditional rhythms with incredible synth parts and psychedelic sounds. We found this LP in a meat market in Bobo Dioulasso back in 2004…
Latin influences in west africa are huge, and so his this amazing tune by Amade Cyrille from Benin, with Les Volcans de la Capitale (National police orchestra of the republic of Benin founded in 1962), with beautiful organ parts playing guajira… an ultra rare LP re-issued by Ketu Records (support your local record label !).
El-Em-Fanaja is another secret dancefloor filler from Benin, "El Rey de la Salsa in Bénin" backed by the best musicians at the time.
We cannot finish without this two soukouss hits by superstars François Louga from Ivory Coast "Kankan" (produced by Sammy Massamba) and congolese Théo Blaise Kounkou "Fausse Amitié" featuring Bopol Mansiamina on guitar.

As far back as the 1960s, there was a thriving recording industry in Angola. The largest record company of colonial ruler Portugal, Valentim de Carvalho, set up a pressing plant in Luanda and officially pressed licensed repertoire from labels like CBS and EMI. 

Urban Angolan music from the 1970s was made for a populace in revolt. It is a heady, rhythmic sound that swings with the recognizable semba (which draws from the same rhythms as the Brazilian samba) as often as it does with the Angolan merengue. It can jump into uncharted frenetic realms that are a unique mixture of local rhythms like rebita and semba, imported rhythms like samba and merengue, and rumba from neighboring Congolese tribes. (Egon / Stones Throw on npr.org).

We have humbly tried to reproduce this rich musical effervescence in this mix. 1h 21min made strictly of Angolan original 7inches carefully digged by our man DJ Afrosider Look. We carefully chose some of the  best tunes from labels that existed before Angola's independence (Rebita and Ngola, circa 1972-1976) and its brutal civil war (CDA and Merengue, circa 1975-1977).

What better way to celebrate summertime than with a mix of French West Indies music? Far from the clichés of festive, good-natured music, we have chosen to showcase the variety that these Creole islands (Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Haiti) have to offer. This includes feminist anthems, songs of resistance to colonial oppression, calls for local consumption, and awareness of a Caribbean culture that is mixed-race and anti-globalization. There will be traditional biguines, bèlè, gwo ka, and cadences blending with reggae, rock, latin and fusion influences. This non-exhaustive selection highlights the cultural richness of this sixth continent.
