Essential steel drum breakbeat recording with Calypso Rock and Funky Abbey Road both classic b-boy anthems. UK Polydor pressing in lovely shape, a conservative EX grade for both vinyl and cover, they could pass for NM.

Unique gospel recording on sulime highlife backing by the Temple Sounds. Really groovy stuff on hard to find private pressed Dutch release. Nice clean EX condition, cover with faint edge wear but really minimal.

One of many essentials by the mighty Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey and His Inter Reformers Band. Kari Batise, Ofi Kokoro Pamo, A Ti Foro Agbe Sere and many more key cuts on offer. Nigerian original

Prince Nico Mbarga with backing by the magnificent Rocafil Jazz International this is bound to turn out a blast. Nice synthesized highlife with Afufu Uwa and Cool Money my faves but all in all a nice listen. Record as...

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...

Essential compilation of Mali bands including Rail Band and regional groups from Segou, Mopti, Kayes and Sikasso. This record holds several exclusive tracks and is very rarely for sale so here is your chance. Listen t...

Such a great item. Laughing Sam is packed with huge breaks and Afrodisiac such a hypnotic afro funk spin. Very clean copy with vinyl bordering near mint. Light creasing to cover.

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.

Pioneering jazz unit famous for introducing congo / rumba / meregue into West Africa and consequently paving a new musical direction. This is one of the rarest Dansons avec Le Ry-Co Jazz EPs and should sit well with f...

Very rare calypso / mento release with a traditional yet funky sound. A must to anyone diggin the origins of reggae and caribbean music. Listen to That's How Me Come Over for a feel of what to expect. Rare flip back o...

Mega rare ethno jazz release on Austrian experimental label Extraplatte. Lots of percussion and drum breaks obviously but more on offer with the spiritual Dedicace to J.C., Steps For Two and spiritual Earthbound. Unpl...

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...

Hidden as flipside to Gaby Omolo's biggest hitter Lunch Time the track Tutakula Aya Ajabu is such a hypnotic Swahili groove but still uptempo enough to work the floor. Rare Kenyan original in lovely EX shape.

Excellent dancefloor track by famous Congolese band leader residing and recording a lifetime in Kenya. I can not help thinking of how this style must have inspired early Soukous. Two great sides that would also fit a ...

Fifth and final album by Lou Blackburn and crew. Quality stuff throughout and with highlights in The Path, Snake Dance and Peace Love & Harmony. Spotless NM vinyl grade, cover with lightest edge wear and a 4-5 mm rip ...

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...

Stunning unplayed first pressing of this largely underrated realease on Ekapa. Sathima's vocals are beautiful and the backing by Kenny Barron, Buster Williams and Billy Higgins makes for funky setting throughout. List...

Modern afrobeat with some afro boogie undertones. German private press that is first time in stock. Check out our favorite here, Hot Funana. Stamp on back cover. Vinyl is crispy clean.
