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.

Rare danceable afro synth with a pinch of Sokous by Tabu Ley backed by wonderful Faya Tess & Beyou Ciel. Solid EX shape cover and disc.

Surprised this record is not hyped more. German Fred Schwartz drumming up European based US Army musicians to form this excellent 10 piece strong afro jazz rock band. Listen to the abstract Schrapnel so you know what ...

All chilled and laidback, mainly accapella tracks. I have a soft spot for the tune Kneeling Down Inside The Gate. Fascinating to explore the roots of rhythm & blues. Copy has got a sizeable stamp on label and cover, p...

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...

Unqiue mix of afro, roots and rock-steady vibes on this Toure Kunda classic from '85. Check Santhiaba Silo for an idea of the musical direction that is a little different to their earlier albums. Soild EX copy with st...

Debut release by the Senegalese heavy hitters is a must in my eyes/ears. Killer mix of funk, deep drumming and quality afrobeat. French original in solid EX condition with sticker residue on front cover.

Interesting field recordings from Ghana, Mali, Senegal, Nigeria and much more. A few traditional sounding tracks on here but also some brilliant guitar driven Mali grooves and folky afro beat from Ghana and Nigeria. C...

Not all Unesco Anthology Of African Music releases are groovy but this Nigerian Igbo compilation definately has got that something really special to it. Tribal breaks topped with Ikorodo chants. Useful stuff for addin...

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...

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...

Scarce Eterna compilation that is essential for the heavy afro funkster Allah Wakbarr by Ofo The Black Company. Epic...

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...

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...

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...

If you like the type african music played at street corners of the townships in South Africa this is the real deal. Nothing for the clubs here but just a great record exploring the roots of afrobeat, ju ju, hi life...

Soca compilation with the hits of 87 that includes a really good second record with David Rudder & Charlies Roots. My pick here is Scrunter with She Wants Me To Sing In The Party for a idea of how this record sounds. ...

Top choice DJ item with dancefloor friendly tunes throughout. Caribbean, African, Brazilian grooves from the likes of Jorge Ben, The Exotics or Burundi Steiphenson Black pave the way.

What a brilliant comp with outstanding tracks from Africa, Brasil, Cuba, Japan and much much more. Strong selection of acts including Soledad Bravo, Safree Group, Sebastiao Tapajos. Check the hypnotic Mateso by Hukwe...

This treat seldom surface for sale and despite a formal Atlantic release in South Africa it remains very rare. Musically it is a solid mixture of authentic sounds playing instruments like the Igubu, Calimba, Imbande a...
