Eko Roosevelt Louis - Mbemb'a muwengue / Nalandi

Killer Afro funk 7' from Eko Roosevelt Louis, a pianist from La République du Cameroun, considered as the Cameroonian Quincy Jones.

Here comes the B side, Nalandi. The lyrics of the track could be translated by : "I'm leaving on a trip, if i face with problems, i leave them behind me, Mom"

Bonne écoute !

The Blue Notes - Venus / Quizas

Out on the Carib label (don't know when !), here comes a 7' from The Blue Notes, a Caribbean Band. Vocals on the A side are from Marvin Henfied and from the great Frankie (Zhivago) Young (author of The Age of Flying High, a great and very rare LP) for the B side - I decided to make you discover the B side, Funky cover of another great classic !

Malcolm's Locks - Get up Stand up / Motherless Child

Great Cover of the Bob Marley classic. This 7' is taken from the Lp titled Carribean Rock. This record was apparently produced in Germany, don't know if the Band was German or Carribean. The leader is Malcolm Nagron - Enjoy !

The Carribean Gay Torpedoes - Tropical Fever part 1 & 2

A side of a great 7' from The Caribean Gay Torpedoes, a Band from the Tropical Breeze hotel, a luxury Beach resort in the little island of St Vincent (the same island that brought us the infamous band that is the St Vincent Latinaires Orchestra).

They released a great LP on EDMAR records and a few 7' on Charlie's records (remember Charlies Roots ; ) ? ), i'll upload them one day pour votre bon plaisir !
