7" The Dynamites - Choice / Jaguar Sample

Muyei Power or Orchestre Muyei (muyei means ‘our country’) was one of the top dance bands of the1970s in Sierra Leone. Soundway Records' first collection of music from this West African country (‘Muyei Power: Sierra Leone in 1970s USA’) is an album of rock-infused, 'afro' music from a group that traveled the world throughout the mid 1970s. Fusing elements of electric Congolese and Nigerian music with fast, syncopated, uptempo modernised arrangements of traditional songs, Muyei Power produced a series of unique single-only releases that have been unavailable for 35 years. The rare recordings featured here are a glimpse of a dynamic and powerful band at the very height of its powers.

Even though lyrically Orchestre Muyei focused on traditional themes and songs, the arrangements and formulation of the instrumental side of things still very much reflected the mixed nature of urban Sierra Leone music, exemplified by a small collection of bands that also included Afro National, Sabanoh 75 and Super Combo.

For the early part of 1970s the band toured extensively throughout Sierra Leone, Liberia and Côte d’Ivoire before making a handful of 45s in local TV and radio studios.

The recordings featured here however come from a period of touring the college circuit in California during late 1975 and early 1976. Later that year, as they played the colleges of the east coast, they gave the tracks to the owner of the African Record Centre in Brooklyn, New York. He initially released two of them on his in-house Makossa Records label as 7-inch 45rpm singles in 1976. The tracks from 1975/6 were then not heard of again until 1979/80 when the African Record Centre released many of them on a series of Makossa Records 12”s that sounded far superior than the 45s that had been released a few years earlier. 

Orchestre Muyei Power finally split up in 1979 leaving no proper album releases and only a handful of recordings for us to enjoy all these years later.  The tracks have been licensed courtesy of ex lead-singer and bandleader Abou Whyte who now lives in New Jersey and performs as a solo artist.

The CD & LP both come with detailed liner notes, with the vinyl being pressed on 180g vinyl with a free digital download insert code.

Sunday Jam N°17 - Kon Tiki (James Stewart for RTU 89.8fm)

In conjunction with compiler and highlife researcher Dr. Markus Coester, Soundway Records present a very special release. Double CD & triple 180g gatefold vinyl (with a bonus 7 inch).

This 45 includes the two first ever recordings by a certain Fela Ransome Kuti with his band The Highlife Rakers. Recorded by Melodisc in London in 1960 both tracks have been unearthed after more than fifty years in hiding.

In many ways this compilation is a prequel of sorts to Soundway's groundbreaking Nigeria & Ghana Special compilations, telling the early story of modern highlife's foundation & formulation. It traces the music from West Africa to London, adding elements of jazz, mambo and calypso along the way and paving the way for the afro sounds of the 1970s.

Accompanied by a 44 page CD booklet and 12 page vinyl booklet, the notes by Dr. Coester include rare photographs, labels and advert reproductions alongside some stunning and very rare recordings.

Presse :
"Si Atlantic River Drive (en référence au titre du livre de Paul Gilroy, repère incontournable pour les études des diasporas) est un coup de chapeau de James Stewart aux riches échanges culturels entre l’Afrique et ses diasporas, son album est aussi un écrin privilégié pour évoquer sa condition d’homme et de père comme sur le titre Where Are We Going? ( qui sort le 9 octobre). Ses mots chantés en frafra par Ayuune Sule évoquent l'urgence pour tout un chacun(e), de "chérir les communautés humaines dans lesquelles nous évoluons alors même que le futur de nos sociétés demeure largement incertain".  FIP 2020

"Musicien, organisateur de soirée, animateur, dj… James Stewart sillonne le vinyl et les rivages noirs de l’océan atlantique (d’ailleurs il organise à Lyon et Grenoble les soirées Black Atlantic Club) depuis tellement de temps maintenant qu’il est ce qu’on peut appeler un guide de la mer noire...Un voyage qui part de ces terres frafra encore mystérieuses, porté par le souffle rauque de la voix de Ayuune Sule, et le minimalisme vif du kologo, et secondé de près par Stewart qui s’agite derrière le gouvernail dans un élégant ballet d’arrangements lascifs." DJOLO.net

"Sur cet EP, deux titres imaginés avec Ayuune Sule donnent le ton de l’album. D’abord, « Atlantic River Drive », construit pour les dancefloors, qui résume à lui seul les passerelles entre l’Afrique avec ses diasporas. Puis, « Where Are We Going ? », épopée lancinante aux solos de synthés perçants et chaloupés. En face B, deux relectures de Simbad (Brownswood Recordings, Worldwide FM) viennent apporter une autre vision de cette Afrique moderne. Qu’on aime." Le Nouvel Obs
