Next up in our House of Soul Essentials Series...

Remember that Tropical delight of a B side, “These Lonely Nights”, from that dynamically dynamite Bob & Gene picture sleeve 45? Well, it’s BACK! This time with a little love from producer extraordinaire, part time Dap-King ringer, and full time Antibalas compatriot, Victor Axelrod (AKA Ticklah) – with a little help from his Kingston trio, The Inversions.

House Of Soul Essentials: Bob and Gene featuring The Inversions - I Can't Stand These Lonely Nights

Here's one from 2006 with the original artwork I created when publishing to AcidPlanet and my friends' forum. I was going through my Mom's old CD's at the time, and when I found these samples, I had to do something with them!

Sing 2 Self is a track I made in November, 2007. It features sounds and voices from Paint Your Wagon in which Clint Eastwood's characters sings, and a few little bits from Dot & Santa Claus.

Africa 45, number 10 - http://www.mrbongo.com/products/alemayehu-eshete-telantena-zare-girma-beyene-ene-negn-bay-manesh-7

A: Alèmayèhu Eshèté - Telantena Zaré

The second time Eshete - aka the Ethiopian James Brown aka Abyssinian Elvis - has appeared in the series to date. This time in jazzier form. Upbeat piano, guitar and distinctive vocals accompanied by tough but subtle drums.

Originally released on 7” on Amha Records AE 780 in 1974. Needless to say, it’s nigh on impossible to find.



B: Girma Bèyènè - Ene Negn bay manesh

Reminiscent of the great works of Mulatu, ‘Ene Negn bay manesh’ is a beautifully deep groover, featuring Beyene’s vocal - unusual for him; he usually recorded instrumentals - subtle guitar, organ and horn lines.

Originally released, once again, on Ethipion label Amha Records AE 210, in 1969.

Africa 45, number 11 – http://www.mrbongo.com/products/ayalew-mesfin-ghedawou-mulatu-astatke-ft-feqadu-amde-mesqel-asmarina-7

Ayaléw Mèsfin ft. Black Lion Band - Ghedawou

Ethiopian dance floor Funk rarity originally released on Kaifa 7” (KF 31) in 1976. Hand claps, guitar lines and call and response lead vocals punctuate the driving bass line and understated drum groove.

Mesfin played primarily at the Lumumba Club in Addis Ababa’s red light district and released many 45’s and cassettes during the mid seventies. He worked very closely with the Black Lion Band (or Tequr Ambessa Orchestra) 

Mulatu Astatke ft. Feqadu Amdé-Mesqel - Asmarina

Laid back, drum-heavy, Ethipian jazz taken from the legendary Ethio Jazz’ LP on Amha (AELP 90). Typifies the sound of the country and the period, truly classic stuff. Mulatu will be touring heavily in 2016, which we are very much looking forward to.

Africa 45, number 12 – http://www.mrbongo.com/products/wganda-kenya-shaloade-peter-king-ajo-7

A. Wganda Kenya - Shaloade

Uptempo afro-latin business of the highest order. You might recognise Wganda Kenya from our Latin 45’s series; they are infact a Latin band produced by the legendary Fruko. This is a cover version of Fela Kuti’s ‘Shakara Oloje’ originally released on Discos Fuentes in 1976, hence their inclusion here in Africa 45’s.

Peter King - Ajo

We have released two albums by Peter King on Mr Bongo, ‘Miliki Sound’ and ‘Shango’. ‘Ajo’ is a Mr Bongo favourite. Reminiscent of Begining Of The End’s ‘Funky Nassau’, it’s sweet, vocal driven afro-funk with killer uplifting horn
sections, changes and drum breaks.

Originally appeared on King’s ‘Omo Lewa’ LP from 1976, originals of which are nigh on impossible to find for a reasonable price now.

Zé Da Lua - Ulungu Wami (The Busy Twist remix)

Our fusion of golden era hip hop with world funk rhythms continues. This week we’ve paired the rhyme stylings of Digable Planets’ “9th Wonder” with the cinematic latin funk of Ocote Soul Sounds’ “The Revolt of the Cockroach People”. There’s also a distinct afrobeat vibe courtesy of Martin Perna’s baritone sax driving the groove. Enjoy!
