Lord Sandwich - What Is Soup ?

"La Musica No Se Muere" : forgotten Afro-Latin treasures from Guinea Conakry's Syliphone.

https://theasymetrics.com/blog/mikael-el-rojo-la-musica-no-se-muere/

Guinea Conakry has a rich musical history, especially after the country’s independence in 1958 which allowed decades of beautiful music to flourish across the country.

The Syliphone record label has allowed many talented orchestras to record their music, constituting now an invaluable cultural heritage.

Guinean Music is fantastic and clearly unique : a blend of traditional, West-African and Afro-Cuban music. 

Beyond their typically deep, funky and groovy music, Guinean orchestras have also played Latin music, covering Cuban songs the Guinean way. 

The result is breathtaking....

Malong - Descargas Cósmicas

Accordion by Jo Powell
Lyrics
Hole burning pocket out towing my pay
Sockets get blown rate frozen today
All the latest models I am blown away
Got so cheap that they are just thrown away
Lemon zest yellow and clover green
Midnight blue pink Rosaline
I chose a few and my hosts are keen
Basket checking out sweet dopamine
So sweet bliss so self assist
Mass Chris better add it to my list

No you don't need that phone put your cash back
Looks like last year's model it's not a flashback
Gotta move past that point get past that
Follow that sixties thrifty hashtag
All you wanna do is spend that fat wad
Put that plastic back in your handbag
You'll be needing it when you're a grandad
Don't let money weigh you down like sandbags
Got you thinking wonder how that tastes
That's how they get you stuck in the rat race
Punch that fat cat right in his fat face
Show that you will be the one that has faith
When you're in the store with as much as you can take
Calm down slow down pull on the handbrake
Cards fell down so put on a band aid
You will only stop when they put out a mandate
Brand new intent you agree on a handshake
Cat got your tongue people wonder what the cat ate
One minute on will you win?
You'll never know cos you can't wait

Need the latest model flying fox connect
Wi fi seven terra bites have left (the building)
Hi tech heaven take a slice most def
True vision brethren get that live effect
Shiny shiny buttons
It's no lamb dressed as mutton
Got to feed I need something
It's the greed it's the glutton
It's the seed I've been shut in
Up my sleeve I've got stuffing
My feet have been shuffling
Have to bleed for the suffering
I'll be a rogue like a Kevin
And I'll have to buy all seven
Take the checkout up to heaven
I'm confessing

If it ain't broke don't fix don't change it up
It don't do what it says they made it up
Paid a few mill just to push those ratings up
You don't need that just keep saving up
Why do you think that new is better?
Put that down don't waste your cheddar
They design it obsolete
Piece by piece a sleek defeat
Try to endeavour to not be a debtor
And sever the meta and press the resetter
Go be a go getter and not a forgetter
Be better and better and not a regretter
Work with the minimal practical winnable
Feeling invincible reach for the pinnacle
Waving the waiver don't sign the conditional
Marketing criminal somewhat predictable
Vicious the pictures of whistles and bells
This is the business of kisses from hell
You cannot get out from under the spell when you yell
