Ultra rare private pressing with killer tropical funk. Both sides are winners and if you like records not readily available this is a perfect pick. Creasing and tear to cover, record is clean EX but pressing causing l...

Rare highlife recording by one of Africa's leading performers of the famous African 'palm wine' guitar. A great listen from start to finish with a mellow hypnothic feel. NM vinyl, very light edge wear to cover.

Super rare private pressing with quality highlife penned for the floor. The main cut Akatine Special is 13 minutes long and builds nicely. The copy was sealed, has been checked and is now in shrink with pratically unp...

Famous leader of the Osofo Dadzie Guitar Band from Ghana on a Highlife solo tip, pressed in tiny numbers here in Germany. Was not to sure what to expect but in all ways a positive surprise with Ateeaa, Abusua Bcne and...

Original press from Trinidad that is a much harder come up than any of the US pressings. Top takes of Don't Leave Me This Way, Dance Little Lady and the monster afro disco dancer Lovie Dovie. Clean EX condition vinyl,...

Great great record by the Senegales composer Luis Morais joined by Franck Cavaquinho. Strong mix of afro cuban and cumbia throughout with highlights in Mari Giralda, Caninha and Saragarca. Copy looks average with many...

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.

Soukous soundtrack release with Papa Wemba hitting it hard. Nice clubby vibe on most tracks with percussion / drum / synthy breakdowns. A few traditional sounding folk tracks on here as well. Crispy clean copy, small ...

All killer material on this rare Zairean release with several hard hitting pieces like Marie Jeanne or Naboyi Amour Ya Sene Unique but had to run with the midtempo groover Mystere De Popol. Something wonderful spiritu...

Super rare single only release by the Cuban Marimba Band here led by Juma Kilaza. Groovy guitar work and Kiswahili vocals on both sides. Record is clean NM but african pressing so little background noice.

Great pick for disco heads and a hard find Kenyan original. Flipside with He Nana He is pretty funky too. Clean record and labels, could pass for NM. Fitted in company sleeve.

Rare early Highlife or Fanti as this style is sometimes refered to on Philips West African records. First time to cross paths with Ambassador Golden Eagles but I guess it was a dance big band from Ghana. Certainly has...

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...

Spotless copy of this crackin Caribbean compilation. Varied in style from Cumbia to Calypso but definately on point. Check Vaccines Petionville from Haiti on Ra Ra No 2. Stunning shape with cover still in shrink. Rare...

Toumani Diabate plays the West African 21 string harp called the Kora and he does it so well. The entire album is acoustic but has a subtle funkyness throughout. Check a snippet Konkoba to catch my drift. Rare and rec...

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...
