Joe Bataan caribbean disco project that I rate highly thanks to the dancefloor friendly version of Stevie's Another Star and the Fania salsa heat in Puerto Rico Me Llama. US original with vinyl in perfect condition, c...

Hugh Masekela producton with the South African first lady on fine form and backed by Masekela, William Salter and James Cleveland. Second pressing from 1971 with alternate cover art that I prefer to the original. Weak...

British afrobeat funksters that never got much credit for their many recordings. Maybe as they are wrongly defined an afrobeat band but in reality more of disco / funk unit. Check Keep On Trying, it sounds pretty fres...

Brilliant jazzy afro funk from the British 5 piece unit with Fire, Kotoku and We Want To Know (Mo) the best three tracks. Lovely gatefold cover art. UK 1st pressing in EX condition, a few very soft lines.

Highly recommende debut album release by British afro funk band Osibisa. The soundscape is very progressive with a authentic african vibe throughout. Second German press from 1971 in strong EX condition, one soft line...

The only really good Them Mushrooms Band 45 with Mombasa a brilliant midtempo groover. Kenya Hakuna Matata on the flip. Near perfect condition in original Phonogram Nairobi company sleeve. Nice one!

Inflacion still sounds so fresh, it is close to impossible to sit down while listening to the Haitian masters on top form. Weak VG+ copy that plays really well, only light distortion between tracks.

Loud pumpin calypso on seldom seen album release by the self declaired Queen of Calypso. My Carib Man is good but listen to the fast and furious Soca Merengue. Strongest EX++ condition.

Seldom seen steel drum competition record released by the Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce. Nice covers of Sock It To Me and Saturday Night. Record and cover in top shape.

Top condition Jamiacan steel drum album with the Rising Sun covering Watermellon Man, Fire In You Wire and really get to shine on their own compositions like Governors Ball and Sandra. NM cover and wax. Rare in this c...

Forget about traditional steel drum action here, this is more of a roots / rocksteady album and a really good one. Add to that a spotless EX++ copy and this is a real winner.

Off the radar Soweto compilation with a raw style involving hard drums and fuzzy guitar. Almost psychedelic sounding at time. Give the clip of Saul Malapane a go...

Debut album release by the South African superstar regarded as Mama Africa by many. I like her authentic stuff like Iya Gaduza, Mbube or Novame most but an enjoayble listen throughout. UK mono pressing from 1960 in fl...

Not entirely sure of the origins of Sugar Bus with a psychedelic feel and a certain Nowy (Ralf maybe?) credited but nice stuff nonetheless. Drumbreak intro and cool flute solo work. This is the original pressing from ...

Brilliant upbeat jazzy dancer by the famous police unit of Kenya. Flip with Kenya Ni Taifa Yetu is nice too although a little more laidback. Lovely EX shape with perfectly clean labels and centerpiece intact. Rare in ...

Afro disco group spearheaded by Ralph Benatar. They gained a fair bit of success in Kenya, Ghana and around Europe. Listen to the flipside Yayaya Yayaya. Rare Kenyan original in strongest EX shape.

Ralph Benatar production with Alan Toko and crew on top form. Quality afro disco made in Belgium and worked on dancefloors all over the world. Kenyan original in clean EX shape and company sleeve.

Monsieur Kremer busy with his favorite profession in capturing chants, rhythms and more from countries around the world. Bit of everything on here and a great sample fodder. Stack of tribal breaks and vocal snippets. ...

King Kobra and The Venoms showcasing a string of funky calypso and limbo joints. I personally liked Keep Your Head Low and BWI Express. Record with some marks, plays well, cover has tear.

Mighty Pelay debut with a number of upbeat calypso groovers like Frenchie, Mr. Panman or My Calypso Dance. Carnival season in Barbados...
