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...

La Kay is a stomping Haitian funk groove with lots of potential. I really like the unusual carnival styled Entioutioute as well. Cover has a circle and small sticker residue on front.

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...

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...

Released in 1958 this counts as one of the earliest African compilations released in Europe. Nice jazzy compositions performed with solo work on the Kwela. Little Lemmy, Jimmy Pratt and debut appearance of Miriam Make...

Ultra rare Decca 10" with pioneering jazz / highlife recorded in Lagos. Charles Iwegbue, E.C. Arinze, Ojindo and much more on offer. Copy looks BAD with LOTS of marks but still plays through so if you don't mind the c...

Big rarity with E.C. Arinze and His Music on best of form. If you dig the early African Highlife grooves this is a prime pick. Sisi, Sisi, Yadiba an Nne Buu Nne stand out but just quality stuff from start to finish. C...

Holy grail highlife Decca 10" release that is up there with the Stargazers Dance Band and E.T. Mensah when it comes to rarity. Give Waya Waya a listen for a feel of an early African jazz soundscape. Marks and scuffs o...

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...

The South African queen with a continuation of her smash Pata Pata. Cheerful good-feel summertime vibes! Some soft marks but plays solid VG+

Essential slice of Makeba! Afro breakbeat drum intro turns jazzy midtempo vocal groover and then she brings the break back into play. Nice one! Bob Dylan cover on the flip.

Flipside wins again with the wonderful Alan Shelly arranged Kikirikiki (Chicken). Solid VG+ shape with only faint superficial marks on wax.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Folky yet groovy guitar beat released on collectable Equator Records. Few soft marks but great playback (EX). Note that the centerpiece is pushed out.

Rarest Peter Tsotsi release on Equator Records, laidback melodic guitar driven tune sung in Swahili. Lightest scuffing, completely inaudible, playback is EX.
