Dérobé Dance Band "Kem Dahg" (Secret Stash Records)

Fantastic mix made by my friend DJ/Producer Déni Shain, currently based in Mexico....spreading good vibes and excellent music. 

The songs used here were taken mainly from mastertapes found in Ghana, the others were recorded from obscure vinyls. Needless to say that half of these songs have never been heard before....feel free to download it, share it, play it...just funk it up !!!!! 

Enjoy it and spread the word !!
ps: Abraços and big love to Brasil...Saudades !!!

Analog Africa Selection Vol.4 (2014) I Ghana Soundtrack  - Previously unreleased & Obscure tracks

On his recently released, self titled album, Dereb and his band, along with producer Tony Buchen, set out to  faithfully record the music of 1960s-70s Ethiopian soul. The resulting set of 11 songs was recorded using only gear that pre dates 1970 in order to recreate the feel of the dusty Ethiopian soul records that have once again started becoming popular worldwide.

Out Now! http://bit.ly/1PYEm7M; iTunes http://apple.co/1JceTlK

From the album "Songs of Paapieye"—Out Now on Awesome Tapes From Africa.

Guun—This is the last song played at a funeral, after all the others have been done. It is meant to get all the dancers on their feet and into a dancing mood. The focus is on women and how they run around the gyil players and off into the surrounding area. It is the hottest, most intense part for the performance, where the player is expressing himself as a xylophonist. Guun is rapid-fire music, and it signals the end of the performance for that particular player. Other players will come and perform as well, from the beginning. And the more people dance, the more the deceased will rest happily.

LYRICS

Ya Balad / English :

Do you remember the ancient days 
The sun, the snow, you and I
Come back, I beg you
Oh land of my parents
  
Ya Balad / français :
 
Te souviens-tu des jours anciens
Le soleil, la neige, toi et moi
Reviens-moi, je t’en supplie
Oh pays de mes parents
 
Arabic :
 
يا بَلد 
ذاكر إِيَّام زَمَان  
شَمس تَلْج أنا ويَّاك
رجَعلي بِترجَّاك
يا بَلَد أهلي
 
عَقلي طار مَعَك
أخلاقي كمان بالوَيل
شرَبنا سكِرنا سَوَا
وفَجَّرِت كِلّ شي
 
وَينَك اشتَقْتِلَّك
صَوْتَك بَسمتَك
رجَعْلي بِترَجَّاك
يَا بَلَد أَهلي
 
وَينَك اشتَقْتِلَّك
صَوْتَك بَسمتَك
رجَعْلي بِترَجَّاك
يَا بَلَد ولادي
