African Popular Music 7

Poniendo música a las 8AM desde que Twitter era Twitter.

#CanciónDeLas8DeLaMañana - Playlist

Recently I fell in love with African music. Preferably before the 80's. In this playlist I've tried to collect some of these songs. The result is a quite soft and mellow mix, which I'm very proud of. I hope you'll enjoy it too. Cheers!

Lyrics : 
My love
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's bright
My first love
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make

And I
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do

They tell me how much you care
Oh, oh, yes, you will always be
My Endless Love

Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms

And love
Oh, love
I'll be a fool
For you, I'm sure
You know, I don't mind
Oh, you know I don't mind

And, yes
You'll be the only one
Cause no one can deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love, my love, my love
My Endless Love

The acclaimed and highly sought-after LP by Hailu Mergia and
the Walias, Tche Belew, an album of instrumentals released in
1977, is perhaps the most seminal recording released in the
aftermath of the 1974 revolution. The story of the Walias band is
a critical chapter in Ethiopian popular music, taking place during
a period of music industry flux and political complexity in the
country. 
Hailu Mergia, a keyboardist and arranger diligently working the
nightclub scene in Addis Ababa, formed the Walias in the early
1970’s with a core group of musicians assembled from prior
working bands. They played Mergia’s funk- and soul-informed
tunes, while cutting 45rpm singles with various vocalists.
While the Walias performed at top hotels and played the
presidential palace twice, their relationship with the Derg regime
was complex, evidenced by the removal of one song from the
record by government censors.
Decades later, Hailu Mergia was surprised to see the album
fetching more than $4,000 at online auctions (it helped that the
most popular of all Ethiopian tunes “Musicawi Silt” appeared on
the record). Now everyone has the chance to listen again—or
for the first time—to this timeless pillar of Ethiopian popular
music.

Artist: E.T. Mensah & The Tempos
Album title: King of Highlife Anthology

Cat.No: RETRO24CD
Label:  RetroAfric

Format:  4CDs in hard-backed accordion wallet with 64-page booklet
Album release: March 6th, 2015

* the most comprehensive collection of E.T. Mensah recordings ever undertaken

* newly mastered from the best available sources and includes tracks never before released digitally or on CD

* released with the cooperation of the Mensah family and estate to celebrate Ghana Independence Day, March 6th

E.T. Mensah ‘The King of Highlife’ is a true legend of African music – the founding father of that most popular style of dance music, which spread like a bushfire across the African continent and beyond during the 1950s and 60s.

Highlife was the first Pan-African pop music and still survives as the basis for contemporary genres like Afrobeats, afropop, hiplife and is an essential ingredient of earlier forms including Congo rumba, soukous, mbalax and the original Afrobeat.

Emmanuel Tetteh Mensah was a multi-instrumentalist and band leader whose dance band Highlife re-Africanised American swing music, blending it with Caribbean melodies, Latin rhythms and indigenous elements from the musically rich culture of Ghana (then known as The Gold Coast).

Although he had started out on a musical career in the 1930s, E.T. recorded his first 78rpm discs in 1952 and as he later claimed: “When my records came out in 1952 they vibrated into the ears of the listening public in Nigeria and other parts of Africa. It was from this period on that music fans throughout West Africa began to acclaim me as the King of Highlife.” That reputation carried right across the continent, being enjoyed by, and influencing, musicians as far apart as Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Senegambia, Congo and Kenya.

E.T, who sadly died in 1996, was the artist who inspired RetroAfric's mission to remaster and re-issue essential recordings by Africa's pioneers of popular music. The first collection, All For You (RETRO1), was released as a vinyl LP in 1986 and later an extended version came out on CD.

Highlife has never died, and this selection of timeless tracks from the mid-1950s to 1960s shows why it lives on, consistently inspiring new generations of musicians and listeners.

With the cooperation of the Mensah family and estate, RetroAfric are pleased to re-issue this set of 69 songs from the great man’s repertoire that are being released in a four-CD box set (RETRO24CD). These classic tracks, most of which have not been available for more than 50 years, have been digitally transferred at the British Library National Sound Archive and are now being released to synchronize with Ghana Independence Day on March 6.

TITANIC 2016  Celin Dion - My Heart Will Go On (Remix)

Je n'ai pas change
Je suis toujours ce jeune homme tranger
Qui te chantait des romances
Qui t'inventait des dimanches
Qui te faisaient voyager
Je n'ai pas change
Je suis toujours ce garon un peu fou
Qui te parlait d'Amrique
Et n'tait pas assez riche
Pour t'emmener Corfou

Et toi non plus tu n'as pas change
Toujours le meme parfum lger
Toujours le meme petit sourire
Qui en dit long sans vraiment le dire
Non toi non plus tu n'as pas change
J'avais envie de te protger
De te garder de t'appartenir
J'avais envie de te revenir
Je n'ai pas change
Je suis toujours l'apprenti baladin
Qui t'crivait des pomes
Qui commenaient par je t'aime
Et finissaient par aimer
Je n'ai pas change
Je prends toujours le chemin qui me plat
Un seul chemin sur la terre
A russi me plaire
Celui qu'ensemble on suivait
