A must for fans of Khruangbin, Portishead, Arthur Verocai, Goat, Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, Os Mutantes, Cortex and co.The duo is formed of Kit Martin, who lives between London and France and plays all instruments on the album, and Merve Erdem, vocalist and multi-disciplinary artist from Istanbul, now based in London. This is their debut album.The album explores universal themes such as love, loss, decay, language and ideology, mixing three different languages: English, Turkish and French. Written and recorded by the duo - Kit composed all the songs and Merve wrote the lyrics - in rural France during 2018, each song was completed within a 12-hour window, pawning contemplation for spontaneity.Dubbed by Kit and Merve as 'lo-fi-hi-fi' in reference to the high-end tube equipment that helped it find it's way to 8-track cassette tape. The style owes it's sound to narrow tape width, valve distortion, spring reverb, the mixture of high end gear with lo-fi equipment as well as a disregard to the norms of hi-fi studio techniques. All instruments were analogue and no samples were used. The instruments that are used range from tablas to darbukas, balalaikas to ouds, MS20 synths to Farfisa organs and a lot of cuica. The mixing techniques were done on-the-fly, tracking immediately to tape: compression, EQ, delay and reverb; meaning mixing could not be revisited!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Senden Baska \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Mantra Moderne \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Tyranny 20 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Pangea \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Kuytu \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Yanimda Kal \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Yürüdüm Büyüdüm ÇÜRÜDÜM \u003cbr\u003e1.8 With a Sense of Grace \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Durma\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kit Sebastian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32071607353415,"sku":"38946769","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3915592_9b5ad9f9-8b1c-4a55-974b-7359c2eab523.jpg?v=1747425171"},{"product_id":"tom-ze-estudando-o-samba","title":"Tom Zé: Estudando O Samba - VINYL LP","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eEstudando O Samba\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eTom Zé\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eMr Bongo\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e7119691257419\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eInternational\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2019-03-15\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n Incredibly unique concept album from the one and only, Tom Ze´. As featured in Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Brazilian Albums of all-time list (2007). One of Ze's finest albums in our opinion, originally released by Continental Brazil in 1976 - a tough one to find at a good price in it's original form now. 'Estudando do Samba' (or 'Studying The Samba') is a post-Tropicalia studio experimentation laiden with layers of hypnotic percussion, effects \u0026amp; samples that deconstructs the 'samba' form. Recorded during what was arguably his most creative period. David Byrne found the record in Rio in the late 90's and included several songs on his Tom Ze collection for Luaka Bop a few years later. At that time Tom was not recording or touring much; playing low-key shows in Sao Paulo and contemplating a move back to Irara´ to work at a service station owned by one of his cousins. Byrne's project helped to reignite his career and he hasn't looked back since. Official Mr Bongo reissue.

This was the first. So what do we know? After learning his craft in Benin and playing with the likes of Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou, ROB returned to Accra to write his own material and find a sound.Hooked on the driving funk and raw soul of stars such as James Brown and Otis Redding, he would often imitate his heroes on his father's piano during school holidays. The title track sets the pace with a JBs-like rhythm, ROB almost shamanic with his sparse yet commanding vocal. The organ and wah-wah guitar spin us out before those imperious horns bring us back in. And what better way to close this set than with 'More', swept up in a call and response between Rob and his backing singers as a 'Blow Your Head' synth flares and the brass blasts. Good times guaranteed.As the man himself says, \"Funky music is in my blood.

The group drew inspiration from British hard rock and heavy metal giants like Cream, Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin when they created this well-produced, seminal post-hard rock album. After 'The Gospel According to Zeus', the group never made another album and slipped into obscurity, until it was discovered by the hip hop diggers. The drum beat from \"Sorcerer of Isis\" has been one of the most sampled in hip-hop music, including KRS-One, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Cyprus Hill, Tribe Called Quest and Eminem to name a few.

Mr. Bongo brings another Brazilian rarity to the masses with this sublime reissue of Tim Maia's Disco Club. Recorded in 1978, it's a latter-period gem from the larger than life legend, combining the glitz and glamor of disco's heyday with Maia's raw funk and soul roots. Moving away from the straight MPB, Tropicalia and international rock dominating the airwaves, his sound represented a new black Brazilian consciousness. It was an irresistible combination. Maia left his usual band and went into the legendary Estudios Level with a mighty ensemble of Rio's finest including Paulinha Braga on drums, Jamil Joanes on bass, Robson Jorge on clarinet, Hyldon de Souza on guitar, Sidinho on percussion, trombonists Edmundo Maciel and Darcy Seixas, and Juarez Assis on tenor sax. Arranger and keyboardist Lincoln Olivetti was a crucial presence during these sessions. He added that all-important string flourish and brassy joy to the uptempo tracks while giving the star enough room to express himself. The album kicks off with a trio of floor fillers: the exuberant party starter 'A Fim de Voltar', a sing-a-long anthem in 'Acenda O Farol' and the undeniably funky hit 'Sossego' (file that one next to Fatback). But then Maia drops it down and gets existential on 'All I Want', questioning the meaning of happiness. He also shows his tender side on slow burners such as 'Murmúrio' (written by the great Cassiano) and 'Pais E Filhos', the latter featuring a supersoft bed of harmonies you can't help but lay down on. But the party ain't over and mid-tempo groover 'Juras' gets the feet moving again before 'Jhony' sends us swaying off into the night. Maia's appetite for excess would eventually get the better of him. But Disco Club is the sound of an unpredictable genius on top form.

As singer, writer, musician and record producer, Marcos has played an integral role shaping the sound of the country's music from the 'golden era' of the 60s and 70s, through to the modern day. Alongside his brother, Paulo Sergio Valle, they have penned a huge catalogue of classic songs, not just for themselves but for other greats such as Elza Soares, Astrud Gilberto, Claudia to name a few. 'Braziliance!' takes things back to the early heady days of Marcos' career with the bright and optimistic sound of Rio's Bossa Nova scene. It includes an instrumental version of 'Crickets Sing For Anamaria' or 'Os Grilos' in Portuguese, which would also be re-recorded withvocals. Though only in his early twenties at the time, 'Braziliance!' depicts very sophisticated production for a musician so young. Recorded in 1966, produced by Louis Oliveira and Ray Gilberts with arrangements by the very talented Emir Deodato, the album was released on Warner Bros. Records. The artwork presents a very clean-cut, wholesome looking Marcos but darker things were around the corner for Brazil.

Ce´lia recorded four self-titled albums for Continental between 1971 and 1977, 'Amor' in 1982 plus several more before she sadly passed away late in 2017, aged 70. This is her debut album from 1970. Ce´lia was a Brazilian vocalist who worked frequently with master arranger-composer Arthur Verocai in her early years and many other heavyweights over the course of her extensive career. Joyce was particularly supportive in the making of this album, writing the beautiful \"Abrace Paul McCartney\" and her husband at the time, Nelson A^ngelo, recorded some of the songs. Features an exclusive insert of a translated interview with Celia, completed in 2011 in her hometown of Sa~o Paulo.

They have also entered territories fans are yet to hear from them as they glide effortlessly over Tony Bones' productions that introduce trap and house into their repertoire. The project is an eclectic array of their influences, twisted and blended together to create a ground-breaking release for UK music. Jungle Brown's debut album 'Flight 314' has achieved more than a million streams without any budget for marketing or promotion. They spent much of 2016 in Apple Music's 'Best of 2016 category, featuring on Spotify and SB. TV, were requested to curate an exclusive playlist for Tidal and attracted attention from New York with Beats 1's very own, Ebro.

First released on Phonodisk in 1979 as part of the 'African Dances' album, then in 1984 as an alternative version on Rough Trade's Earthwork off-shoot, it has gone on to attain cult-like status. So it remains a bit of a mystery how so little has been documented about the follow-up. Shina's self-titled album was originally released on Help Records in 1980. It differs from the upfront afro-disco-funk of 'African Dances' as it diverts into deeper, hypnotic, afro-beat territory. Though listed as a six-track album, each side (composing of 3 tracks) is built-upon one continuous groove with call and response female \u0026amp; male vocals and instrumental solos coming and going as each side progresses. The results are raw, hypnotic, locked-in grooves, which sit perfectly on forward-thinking contemporary dancefloors. Official Mr Bongo reissue. Replica original artwork. LP only.

Luis Pe´rez was born in Mexico City on July 11, 1951. From 1971 onwards he dedicated much of his time to the research of pre-Columbian instrumentation. This research that allowed him to travel the Mexican territory and study musical traditions of the native peoples of Mexico. He learned directly from the living sources of the music and collected samples of musical instruments and the songs of different native speakers including Maya, Nahuatl, Mazateco, Yoemem, Comcaac, Raramuri, Wixarika and more. His personal collection of native Mexican instruments includes ethnographic instruments still in use by ethnic groups, along with archaeological artifacts some of which are more than 2, 000 years old. He continuously utilizes these instruments in performances, concerts, lectures, exhibitions and recordings, in a sense, keeping them alive. Following a decade playing in Mexico City's psychedelic rock scene, his early solo work was a mixture of sounds derived from his vast array of pre-Hispanic and ethnographic wind and percussions which he managed to blend with electronic devices including tape delay units, electric guitars and synthesizers. During this time, he was given the name Ixoneztli (or \"one who makes music\") by the legendary curandera Pachita and her son Enrique, to whom, like Alejandro Jodorowsky before him, Luis served as assistant. In 1981, the Mexican government became very interested Pe´rez work and sponsored the production of what became the first recording of the fusion of native Mexican instruments with electronics - entitled Ipan In Xiktli Metztli, in the Nahuatl language, or en el Ombligo de la Luna in Spanish... In the Navel of the Moon. The impact of this recording and subsequent performances among media, ethnomusicologists and audiences alike established Luis Perez Ixoneztli as a precursor to a new musical genre followed by a generation of young Mexican musicians - Ethno-Rock, Ethno-Jazz, Ethno-Experimental and the like. 'El Ombligo de la Luna' reaches us from deep in the past but it also exists entirely outside of time, as Luis Pe´rez 'Ixoneztli's offering to the world - the soul of Mexico channeled through the hands of a master musician.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Culto Solar - in Altepetl Tonal \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Suite Al Culto Solar - Xochiyaoyoloh \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Suite Al Culto Solar - Ketzalkoatl Yauh Miktlan \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Ipan in Xiktli Metztli\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Luis Perez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32076977045575,"sku":"35609414","price":32.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3755257.jpg?v=1747416132"},{"product_id":"os-brazoes-os-brazoes","title":"Os Brazões: Os Brazoes - VINYL LP","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eOs Brazoes\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eOs Brazões\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eMr Bongo\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e711969121292\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eInternational\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2015-02-24\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003eJAPANESE MINI-LP SLEEVE, 180 GRAM VINYL\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n Limited vinyl LP repressing in super high quality card sleeve with replica original artwork.

It is a psychedelic masterpiece that fuses samba, R\u0026amp;B and rock 'n' roll influences using fuzz guitars, synths, percussion, lush vocals and effects. Os Brazoes formed in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1960's. They backed Gal Costa during her Tropicalia period, yet apparently never recorded in the studio with her. OS BRAZOES features covers of Gilberto Gil's 'Pega a Voga, Cabeludo' and Jorge Ben and Toquinho's 'Carolina, Carol Bela'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Pega a Voga Cabeludo \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Canastra Real \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Módulo Lunar \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Volksvolkswagen Blue \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Tao Longe de Mim \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Carolina, Carol Bela \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Feitico \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Planador \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Espiral \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Gotham City \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Momento B\/8 \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Que Maravilha\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Os Brazões","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32077004439623,"sku":"27666777","price":30.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2831059.jpg?v=1747393752"},{"product_id":"trio-mocoto-trio-mocoto","title":"Trio Mocoto: Trio Mocoto - VINYL LP","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eTrio Mocoto\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eTrio Mocoto\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eMr Bongo\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e7119691256511\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eInternational\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2019-03-01\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e2\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n Luiz Carlos Fritz (Fritz Escovão), João Parahyba and Nereu Gargalo aka Trio Mocotó are most well-known as Jorge Ben Jr.'s backing band.

When we first came across their epic dance-floor monster 'Disco Stomp' it was on a Disco Calypso compilation, so we assumed it originated from the Caribbean. Years later we worked out how wrong we were and that this nugget was actually from South Africa and taken off an ultra scarce album on JAS Pride records from 1976. The next problem was tracking down an original copy and we don't think we've ever seen our Bongo team member Gary Johnson as happy as the day he turned up clutching a copy under his arm. 'Play Disco Specials' was produced by Ray Nkwe who also worked with Mankunku Quartet and The Soul Jazzmen, with all writing credits on the album going to Ray, the recording credited to engineer Robin Ritchie and the artwork to Carol Knowles. Other than this, the personnel of the record remains a mystery, but sometimes a bit of mystery is a good thing. Aside from the disco-jazz-funk of 'Disco Stomp', which has found it's way into the DJ sets of Theo Parrish, 'Play Disco Specials' will appeal to fans of The Star Beams South African contemporaries The Drive, Batsumi and Pacific Express.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 We Did It \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Disco Stomp \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Barney's Moaning \u003cbr\u003e1.4 G.G.

Brazilian guitarist and singer Toquinho (real name Antônio Pecci Filho) was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in the 1940's. His first major hit single was 'Que Maravilha', as featured here, that he wrote with Jorge Ben. This album also features 'Zana' and the ultra-famous 'Carolina Carol Bela', also written with Ben. Toquinho had a prolific career releasing a huge number of albums and writing on even more. He released many records with Vinicius de Moraes during the 70's. 'Carolina Carol Bela' was sampled by DJ Marky on his drum n bass hit 'LK' - the track that launched the sound of Brazilian drum n bass outside of Brazil. Official Mr Bongo reissue.

The Grammy Award winning, multi-platinum producers have been performing and writing music together for 10 years. They have achieved international acclaim with BADBADNOTGOOD and Tavares' recent solo single 'Self-Portrait' has been championed by tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson and Benji B. 'Visions' is the latest upshot of their incredibly fruitful partnership. Recorded in Toronto, it was produced by Tavares and Whitty - with Tavares also mixing the album and arranging strings. After a three-week writing period it was played in it's entirety in one continuous studio session; almost all the tracks on the album are the first take. Tavares is on piano and guitar, Whitty on saxophone and flute. The rhythm section of Julian Anderson-Bowes on bass and Matthew Chalmers on drums completes the players. They make an impressive collective and are performing at the peak of their powers. Conceptually the album is a canvas for a combination of composition and group free-form improvisation. Tavares and Whitty are the sole composers, but with some tracks collectively improvised, there is also a group dynamic running through the album. The outcome is a sublime melting pot of modern jazz, impressionist classical music and Arthur Verocai-esque arrangements. It is a sound that is hard to date; it is certainly of the now but is also reminiscent of a lost classic. Similar to the process of it's creation, the optimal listening experience for 'Visions' is in it's entirety. As a coherent body of work it draws the listener in with waves of intensity and crescendos that release back into tranquility - there is both darkness and light in the album's narrative arc. There is also rawness and honesty to the music, which makes it feel like an intensely personal and intimate offering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Through the Looking Glass \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Woah \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Blue \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Symbols of Transformation \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Visions of You \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Eyes \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Awakenings \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Heat of the Moon \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Black Magic \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Symbols of Transformation II \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Living Water Assembly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.

Featuring 'Miracles' as sampled by Public Enemy, Basement Jaxx, Arrested Development and many more. Originally from Compton, Los Angeles, the Jackson Sisters were one-hit wonders who briefly shone and made some noise in the early 1970s before quickly fading into obscurity. Even though the sisters ceased performing together in 1975, their greatest tune, 'I Believe In Miracles' began to live a charmed life. In 1988, the song was resurrected as part of the UK 'Rare Groove' scene which resulted in it denting the bottom end of the UK pop charts (it peaked at No. 72). British vocal group, The Pasadenas, cut their own version of the tune in 1989, and a year later, Public Enemy sampled 'Miracles' for their track, 'Can't Do Nuttin' For Ya Man.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Where Your Love Is Gone \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Maybe \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Why Do Fools Fall in Love \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Day in the Blue \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Rockin' on My Porch \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Boy You're Dynamite \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Rock Steady \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Miracles \u003cbr\u003e1.9 (Why Can't We Be) More Than Just Friends \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Shake Her Loose\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jackson Sisters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32077458341959,"sku":"36128952","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3787224.jpg?v=1747794287"},{"product_id":"ebo-taylor-yen-ara","title":"Taylor, Ebo: Yen Ara","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eYen Ara\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor, Ebo\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eMr Bongo\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e7119691251318\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eInternational\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release. Ghanaian music legend Ebo Taylor returns with perhaps his finest album to date. But don't take our word for it. That's coming straight from the man himself. And he should know after more than 60 years in the business. The 81-year-old composer, arranger, guitarist and vocalist has been a key figure in the evolving afro-funk sound since the Seventies, working with the likes of Apagya Show Band, CK Mann and Pat Thomas. Famously, he rubbed shoulders with Fela Kuti while studying in London in the Sixties, before going on to lead the Ghana Black Star Band (featuring Osei and Sol Amarfio from Osibisa) and later the Uhuru Dance Band back in Ghana. Like Fela, he is always pushing forward, constantly reconceptualizing his sound and attuning it for a new generation. Part teacher, part messenger. Listen to Yen Ara and you will not only hear the high-energy afrobeat, sweet highlife, jazz and konkoma influences that he's famous for. There is also a disco pulse and hard-hitting percussive edge to the tracks, which were produced by Justin Adams (Tinariwen, Rachid Taha, Robert Plant) and recorded in the live room at Electric Monkey Studio in Amsterdam. An Ebo Taylor for these times, you might say.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Poverty No Good \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Mumudey Mumudey \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Krumandey \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Aboa Kyirbin \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Mind Your Own Business \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Ankoma'm \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Abenkwan Puchaa \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Yen Ara \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Aba Yaa\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Taylor, Ebo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32077458964551,"sku":"35737032","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/products\/3762879_a1e9f72b-ed2b-4194-80a2-1983e095dde5.jpg?v=1710779020"},{"product_id":"gyedu-blay-ambolley-simigwa","title":"Gyedu-Blay Ambolley: Simigwa - VINYL LP","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eSimigwa\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eGyedu-Blay Ambolley\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eMr Bongo\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e7119691254418\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eInternational\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2018-10-05\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Legendary Ghanain album - with one of the music iconic covers ever! - that fuses Highlife, afrobeat, folk and funk. Ambolleys debut solo album originally released in 1975, written and produced with Ebo Taylor. Ambolley grew up during the peak of Highlife in Ghana and was a key figure in it's fusion with soul and funk influences from the USA. He played in many bands including Houghas Extraordinaires, Meridians Of Tema, Ghana Broadcasting Band and the Uhuru Dance Band, for which he was recruited by his friend, Ebo Taylor. The group went to Nigeria in 1973 to play with Fela at his legendary Shrine spot. 'Simigwa' was a chance for Ambolley to release his own productions and to experiment to a certain extent. A main inspiration for this album was the work of the mighty Mr. James Brown, something that is evident from the rhythm section, horns, vocal stabs and percussion breaks throughout the record.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Kwaakwaa \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Akoko Ba \u003cbr\u003e1.3 This Hustling World \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Toffie \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Adwoa \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Fa No Dem Ara\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gyedu-Blay Ambolley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32077522600007,"sku":"36507641","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3812148.jpg?v=1747420600"},{"product_id":"shina-williams-his-african-percussionists-african-dances","title":"Shina Williams \u0026 His African Percussionists: African Dances - VINYL LP","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eAfrican Dances\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eShina Williams \u0026amp; His African Percussionists\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eMr Bongo\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e7119691252711\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eInternational\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2018-06-15\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n Vinyl LP pressing.

A localized scene that went on to have a global influence. The band's most notable track 'Dancing in Outer Space' is a certified classic. It was a chart hit in the UK and was also championed Stateside in clubs such as the mythic 'Paradise Garage' and 'The Loft' by the likes of Larry Levan and David Mancuso. An instantly recognizable anthem that is just as fresh today as it was when it was first released. Originally released in 1981 via Elite \/ MCA records, en Trance is a joyous album that arguably represents the pinnacle of the Brit-funk sound. The band consisted of bassist, and keyboardist Lester J. Batchelor, drummer Ray Johnson, guitarist Andy Sojka, saxophonist Stewart Cawthorne, singer and guitarist Tony Antonio and producer Jerry Pike. The album captures the excitement of these exceptional players demonstrating utmost originality in the studio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Free Tonight \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Duende \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Creator's Dream \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Interplay \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Funk the Rock \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Invasion \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Return of LB\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Atmosfear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32077619626055,"sku":"36583348","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3818327.jpg?v=1747798598"},{"product_id":"tunde-mabadu-viva-disco","title":"Tunde Mabadu: Viva Disco - VINYL LP","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eViva Disco\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eTunde Mabadu\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eMr Bongo\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e7119691253411\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eInternational\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2018-08-03\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n Vinyl LP pressing.

Finding himself frustrated by the tempos and mixes of certain records he loved - typified by DJ'ing onetime after Don Letts who had already played half his selection - he set about recording his own versions with a super group of London's finest reggae musicians. 'I have worked with many of the UK-based reggae musicians at one point or another so I went about selecting the best possible musicians from my experiences with two criteria in mind - the best skills and the most vibe. At the same time my Dub Supervisor and Reggae Jedi aka Little Roy and I started to record tracks for his new album and I found myself recording reggae every day.
