Oshi + MadBliss - Grey

Africa 45, number 7 http://www.mrbongo.com/products/the-apagya-showband-tamfo-nyi-ekyir-mumude-7

Hailing from Ghana, The Apagya Showband was formed by the legendary Ebo Taylor and Ambolley after they left ‘Uhuru Dance Band’. The group produced only a couple of singles.

‘Tamfo’ is a joyous, uptempo Afro-funk groover, laced with horns and highlife guitar lines.

‘Mumude’ is a fast paced, drum and percussion-heavy, folklore-based song from 1974. Originally released on Essiebons 7”.

A. Rail Band - Mariba Yassah ft. Mory Kanté

One of Mali’s best known outfits, also known as Super Rail Band and the Bamako Rail Band. Led by the legendary Salif Keita. Their unique style came about as a result of the fusion of Afro-Latin-Jazz and traditional styles.

This track is super funky and tight from the first beat, with a catchy trumpet line running over the top and throughout. Mory Kanté features here on lead vocals.

Originally released on their album entitled ‘Super Rail Band Of The Buffet Hotel Del La Gare De Bamako, Mali - Rail Band’, in 1973 on RCAM. 





B. Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de Bamako - Get Up James


Salif Keita becomes the subject of some unusual A-side/B-side drama here - he left Rail Band to join Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de Bamako! Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de Bamako are considered to be one of Africa’s greatest bands, assembled in the early 70’s in Mali.

This record is a James Brown cover with a psychedelic-West African twist. Loud and proud JB style call-and-response vocals, driving organ, drums and guitar.

THE MAGIC BUTTON

Ronny Hammond & The Washington Groovers - Magic Funk Attack (FREE DL)

from the forthcoming Ltj Xperience CD on Irma Records label (snippet version)

Ltj - Let There Be Groove

The established duo Hertz Collision from Italy provides the latest
the Nursery Series, called Nowhere EP. And what a rendezvous it
is; the two have in no way lost their touch of magic since their last
contribution in early 2015. The result is another convincing piece of
modern day techno, produced in their recognisable own style.

But within that style, they skillfully demonstrate that there is plenty of room for variation. The EP opens with its title track, which heralds fragile though steady grooves accompanied by a bleepy, two-tone lead. From there onwards, the trip continues through the highly repetitive and magnetizing ‘To See Something with a Wideness’ into the thumping ‘Olon’.

The Netherlands’ rising star Stranger provides a remix, which is – as one might expect – his one rave-inspired version of the EP’s third track, containing his ever-present wink to the nineties.
Concluding: there is, yet again, a real treat to be found in this
package, and The Nursery continues to show that young age and
talent go hand in hand with techno from the top shelves.

Xangô é Rei (feat. Di Melo, O Imorrível)

Busy Twist is one of the leading lights of the new global dance underground, effortlessly hotwiring vibrant sounds from across the continents and teasing them into thrilling new
shapes. His upfront rhythmic workouts join the dots between Afro, Latin and UK bass. A fun, fresh and sophisticated fusion that has taken him to play everywhere from Glastonbury to Nyege Nyege in Uganda, to the Barranquilla carnival on the Colombian coast, as well as releasing music on international labels like Jamz Supernova’s Future Bounce, Sony Colombia and Soundway Records.
The DJ and producer, otherwise known as Ollie Williams, has spent over a decade immersed in emerging musical scenes from around the world and his recent productions are fast-establishing him as an in-demand force in the studio: see the nocturnal afro-house of London-based artist Alewya’s breakthrough single ‘Sweating’ or his recent carnival track, ‘Romantica Champeta’, a dayglo carnival anthem with national treasures Bomba Estéreo and Kevin Flores, which was a runaway smash in Colombia this year.
Now one of the newest signings at Because London Records, Ollie continues to build the bridge between his travels and the UK capital, where he grew up, with an EP coming on the label soon.  “My music has always been about building friendships and real connections,” says Ollie. “ All the artists I collaborate with are not just people I go to work with, they're people I want to share food with and share stories of life and experience.”
