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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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 not familiar with Haiti's famous Compas unit you are in for a treat. Party time vibes all day every day and surely the sun will be coming out. Strong EX vinyl grade, cover has one bent corner and stoarge print on f...

Quality Soukous album by the hugely popular Congolese singer, producer, composer... Soft hairlines but great playback. Rare French original on Koffi's own label.

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 ...
