Manu Dibango - Dangwa / Oboso (7")

This Dibango 45 does not show up very often. I love both tracks but Oboso just has this hypnotic feel to it that I can not get enough of.... US Atlantic pressing in strong VG+ condition, plays EX.

King Sunny Ade & His African Beats - Aura (LP)
Island 206 418-320, 1984 Germany
Nothing rare but these King Sunny Ade records are really worthwhile if you dig synthy sounding afro beat. Start with Ase but Ogunja and Oremi are great too. Soft hairlines but playback not affected.
