Debut release from Zaka and they are joined by the famous Nigerian percussionist Guem for a great Afro Cuban record with tons of conga, tumba, bongo and percussion breaks. French original.

Brilliant Egyptian Oud with continues sample elements and then the record close up with a fantastic folky Nubian piece called Song For Tar that has a wonderful spiritual edge to it.

Mr. Calypso himself with a guaranteed dancefloor winner. Super rare pick on 45. To my knowledge this only had a German release as single. VG/VG- copy with marks and some light noice plus occasional click, check soundc...

Second and best part of the Drums of Africa series compiling eight different afro drum styles from Kenya. Writing on cover.

Flipside to the frequently comped Msichana Omari but this track is much better and so much harder to come by as single only release on Equator Records. Grooves slightly dirty and a few marks but plays solid VG+ throug...

I am personally a huge fan of Masekela and despite this not being a rare pick there a handful of worthwhile tracks on here. Lots of jazzy / funky groovers but I opted for the boogie vibes on Run No More that is a grea...

In demand disco groover by famed Parisian afrobeat unit also known under their Lafayette Afro Rock Band. This is the recommended pressing with Passion on the flip that has huge potential on soul floors and would fit a...

French original from 81 with two fantastic tracks that should not be missed. Enjoy the begining of Nke Onye Asoa and feel the vibes. Tiny remains from a sticker on front cover.

Steelband funk with a solid club track Watu Cada and a decent cover of Watermelon Man. Super clean vinyl, cover with small tear to upper right hand cover.

Rare Jairos Jiri album recorded live at the Brot Für Die Welt concert in Stuttgart. Mix of highlife, jazz and rock tunes. Pretty sure this was never commercially distributed and pressed in very small numbers.

Off the radar afro beat in a Hi-Fives or Bantou vein. Great hypnotic vibes on a track that has not blown up yet. Single only release. Faintest marks only, plays close to EX, nice and loud. Cover has ringwear and a few...

Very early Kingston recording on Dynamic. I believe one of their first releases, number 004. Includes the excellent Jamaica Farewell that was comped on the Trojan Sunshine compilation a few years back and a great vers...

Very scarce record from Martinique with some fine tribal sounding folk that should come useful in the right hands. Lovely shining vinyl with only one light inaudible hairline. Lamination of cover is peeling on both si...

Take-off time with Jean Papy and the Kass Kass group. Gotta love Soukous breaks, actually surprised they are not added in mixes of other styles more often. Check the pumping intro of Ndedelio. Rare private press in fl...

Really happy to be able to offer a copy of this crazy rare highlife masterpiece by the grand daddy of Ghana, Jewel Ackah and The Butterfly Six. I have never seen it before and doubt I will see it again. It holds two f...

Jewel 'Hi-Life' Ackah gone afrobeat and highlife on this 4 track EP. Incredible stuff that will definitely get you smiling. Jewel Ackah makes good feel music. Vinyl is unplayed, cover strong EX.

Lengendary Kenyan 'twist' performer with two rare slices of Swahili sung guitar groove. Seldom seen Africana Microgroove pressing. Softest marks only.

Über rare 45 on one of the very first labels set up in Kenya. Guitar driven highlife with a warm soundscape and Swahili vocals. Strong VG+ condition, almost EX which is unusual for a an early sixties African record. L...

Record here has a Afro Pop stamp on the cover and that is pretty much what is in store but the tracks Siyayilanda and Shake My Way does have a funky afrobeat vibe to them making the album worthwhile. Flawless EX copy ...

Always had a soft spot for this soca disco release with its fine blend of funk and cosmic africa. Disco Reggae always sounds good in my ears. Nothing rare here but good! US original with cut corner, tiny tear and very...
