EMMANUEL ARUYINGHO & HIS UVOES - ORITSHE MOBIE:
Rare independent release from this Nigerian artist. Probably pressed in the US for export to the Nigerian market. This one holds a killer jazzy afro funk/hi-life track in "Ariegbe tene" and some other good uptempo hi-life tunes. Disc looks almost unplayed and is a solid EX copy. Pressing is also really fat and loud. Cover is clean except for a name written on the front.

ESNARD BOISDUR - & SON GROUPE KATEL:
Solid, rootsy Gwo ka LP, a traditional straight forward afro style rhythm outta Guadeloupe. This type of stuff has been growing more and more popular on the tropical scene over the last years. Heavy, percussive afro jams all through, but check "Boulves" for a start.

FELA KUTI - UPSIDE DOWN:
Superb afro funk from the master including"Upside down". Red & white label UK 2nd pressing of one of his best LP's. Mailorder customers note: unfortunately this copy comes in plain sleeve, so this copy is a lot cheaper than the full cover one.

HEDZOLEH SOUNDZ - HEDZOLEH:
Reissue of early 70s LP from Ghana that was the foundation for Hugh Masekela's "Introducing Hedzoleh Soundz" LP. Sparse, traditional sound that stands out from the funkier end of the afro spectrum. Listen to "Yei baa gbe wo" or "Rekpete".

JULIE MOURILLON - ROCK YOUR BONES:
Obscure carribean LP from Guadeloupe, produced by Gordon Henderson. Mainly reggae influenced tracks but has a fastpaced calypso/disco/percussion hybrid in "Rock your bones". Not for the disco purists, but could work well for the adventurous DJs. Currently a Sofrito spin. Clean copy, looks unplayed.

OFEGE - TRY & LOVE:
Reissue of rare afro/funk/psych LP from Nigeria. "Lead me on" is a druggy affair with laidback vocals. "Ofege" and "Nobody fails" are also great. Has that hybrid sound of funk, afro, rock and psych that many bands from West Africa have. Reminds me of Blo, One World, Hykers etc.

ORIENTAL BROTHERS - THE BEST OF:
Old compilation from 1981 of earlier works in the highlife field. Pretty nice music throughout but maybe "Uwamesi special" was my favorite. Disc looks very clean for being a african record, but has two heat damage marks that doesn't affect play at all. A few soft hairlines too but overall a very nice copy. Cover has light wear and two stickers at front.

RAIL BAND DU MALI - MELODIAS:
French export issue. Deep Malian music from this poular group. Have a listen to "Maki" to get an insight to how this LP sounds like. As with a LOT of music from this part of the world the condition ain't the best. Some light noise through out but the music still shines through if you are not too fussy. Price is reduced due to the condition.
