Annoyed by the “congolisation” of the Ivorian music that was taking place within the band, Ernesto left the group and emigrated to Paris in 1968 to record his first few singles arranged by Manu Dibango and influenced by Soul, Rhythm \u0026amp; Blues and Jerk. Those recordings reflect the musical mood at that time which was dictated by two musical trends within the Ivoirian scene: Traditional music, embodied amongst others by Amédée Pierre on one hand and imported music from the States, Cameroon and Zaïre on the other. And while the first trend was generally neglected, the youth fully embraced the second and as a result bands such as \"Les Black Devils\", \"Djinn-Music\", \"Bozambo”, “Jimmy Hyacinthe”, shot to stardom overnight by recording mainly funk and disco music. It is within this context that Ernesto would draw the inspiration for a future formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- plug-seven-hike-2026-10-29:end --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMedia: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA1.

Every neighbourhood of Cameroon´s capital, no matter how dodgy, was filled with music spots but surprisingly there were no infrastructure to immortalise those musical riches. The country suffered from a serious lack of proper recording facilities, and the process of committing your song to tape could become a whole adventure unto itself. Of course, you could always book the national broadcasting company together with a sound engineer, but this was hardly an option for underground artists with no cash. But luckily an alternative option emerged in form of an adventist church with some good recording equipment and many of the artists on this compilation recorded their first few songs, secretly, in these premises thanks to Monsieur Awono, the church engineer. He knew the schedule of the priests and, in exchange for some cash, he would arrange recording sessions. The artists still had to bring their own equipment, and since there was only one microphone, the amps and instruments had to be positioned perfectly. It was a risky business for everyone involved but since they knew they were making history, it was all worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the recording, the master reel would be handed to whoever had paid for the session, usually the artist himself..and what happened next? With no distribution nor recording companies around this was a legitimate question. More often then not it was the french label Sonafric that would offer their manufacturing and distribution structure and many Cameroonian artist used that platform to kickstart their career. What is particularly surprising in the case of Sonafric was their willingness to take chances and judge music solely on their merit rather than their commercial viability. The sheer amount of seriously crazy music released also spoke volumes about the openness of the people behind the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut who exactly are these artists that recorded one or two songs before disappearing, never to be heard from again? Some of the names were so obscure that even the most seasoned veterans of the Cameroonian music scene had never heard of them. A few trips to the land of Makossa and many more hours of interviews were necessary to get enough insight to assemble the puzzle-pieces of Yaoundé’s buzzing 1970s music scene. We learned that despite the myriad difficulties involved in the simple process of making and releasing a record, the musicians of Yaoundé’s underground music scene left behind an extraordinary legacy of raw grooves and magnificent tunes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe songs may have been recorded in a church, with a single microphone in the span of only an hour or two, but the fact that we still pay attention to these great creations some 50 years later, only illustrates the timelessness of their music. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- plug-seven-hike-2026-10-29:end --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMedia: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA1.

Hailing from the small town of Kwekwe, Zig-Zag Band appeared out of nowhere and revolutionised the 80s music scene with a new sound. They crafted a bold and original style defined as Chigiyo - a vibrant fusion of reggae, traditional rhythms, brass arrangements and mbira-inspired guitar. With intricate guitar lines, infectious dance rhythms, and raw, soulful Shona vocals, they pushed beyond genre boundaries. While many contemporaries opted for commercially safer routes, Zig-Zag remained fiercely independent, committed to authenticity and innovation. Despite the loss of nearly all original members over the years, Gilbert Zvamaida—now based in the U.S. and performing with Thomas Mapfumo’s Blacks Unlimited—continues to carry the torch. As the last surviving founding member, he remains a guardian of Chigiyo, keeping its legacy alive for future audiences. Housed in a limited edition 3-color screen printed cover, which also includes a download voucher - this compilation brings Zig-Zag Band’s groundbreaking music back into the spotlight— celebrating their unique contribution to Zimbabwean culture and reintroducing a vibrant, underappreciated catalogue to a new generation of listeners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- plug-seven-hike-2026-10-29:end --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMedia: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA1.

Even the most dedicated crate-digger might go their whole life without stumbling across any of the three LPs he released in the late 1970s and early ’80s. Yet all the musicians who happened to cross paths with him remember him with a mixture of admiration and fear; for Antoine Dougbé was not merely one of the most inventive songwriters to emerge from the fertile music scene of Cotonou, but also a powerful Vodún initiate whose close connection to the spirit world allowed him to refer to himself as “the Devil’s prime minister.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs a young man he moved from Abomey to Cotonou, a city that had established itself as one of the centres of the West African music scene. There he encountered most of the popular styles of African and Latin music and, like many of his generation, found himself drawn to Cuban son and rumba. Although he was particularly attracted to Congolese rhythms, it was his fascination with the traditional rhythms of Benin—especially those associated with Vodún ceremonies—that allowed Dougbé to take his music in directions far removed from anything happening in the Congo.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEarly in his career, Dougbé was known for intimidating and threatening musicians if they didn’t play to his liking, and when the time came to find a band willing to record with him, he struggled. But according to Mélomé Clément, founder of the mighty Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou, Dougbé posed no problem for them, since the band’s drummer, Yehouessi Leopold, and bassist, Bentho Gustave, were themselves initiated into Vodún and Dougbé never dared to challenge them.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDougbé was unique among the band’s external collaborators in that he neither sang nor performed any of the main instrumental parts. It has been suggested that his involvement with Vodún—in which singing plays a crucial role in important rituals—effectively prohibited him from using his voice for anything as frivolous as a popular song. Instead he provided his songs to Melome Clément, who arranged them for the band; most of the vocals were handled by Lohento Eskill and Amoussou William.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhether driven by the thrill of the music or by fear of crossing the Devil’s prime minister, Dougbé’s records all feature Orchestre Poly-Rythmo playing at the absolute height of their considerable powers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDougbé released three LPs and a handful of singles under his own name, the first, which appeared in 1977 on Disques Tropiques. And although Dougbé achieved moderate success with the early single “Nounignon Ma Kpon Midji”, his other records never quite found the audience they deserved, and by the early eighties he had vanished from the music scene.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIllness struck in 1992, prompting a move to Parakou in northern Benin, where he lived and worked for four more years. Antoine Dougbé died of cirrhosis of the liver on 20 September 1996, while on holiday in his former home of Cotonou—leaving behind a small but extraordinary body of work, and a legacy still wrapped in mystery. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- plug-seven-hike-2026-10-29:end --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMedia: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA1.

Remastered from the best available audio sources, these songs have never sounded better. Some thirty years after they first made such a splash in the Mogadishu scene, they have been freed from the wobble and tape-hiss of second and third generation cassette dubs, to reveal a glorious mix of polychromatic organs, nightclub-ready rhythms and hauntingly soulful vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to two previously unreleased tracks, the music is accompanied by extensive liner notes, featuring interviews with original band members, documenting a forgotten chapter of Somalia's cultural history. Before the upheaval in the 1990s that turned Somalia into a war-zone, Mogadishu, the white pearl of the Indian Ocean, had been one of the jewels of eastern Africa, a modern paradise of culture and commerce. In the music of the Dur-Dur band – now widely available outside of Somalia – we can still catch a fleeting glimpse of that golden age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- plug-seven-hike-2026-10-29:end --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMedia: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e.

However, Dr Footswitch’s performance prompted The Rhodesia Herald to print the picture of their guitar player, Manu Kambani, on the front page along with the screaming sentence “Jimi Hendrix is dead but Manu is alive”. With his ability to mimic the mesmerising antics of Jimi Hendrix Manu had impressed everybody and the editor of the paper couldn’t resist printing the story. Heavy criticism from conservative whites followed, accusing the Herald of “lowering the standards.” But the coverage turned Manu into an emblematic figure in Harare, one of Salisbury’s oldest townships, and would influence many youngsters to form their own musical groups. Those bands began fusing Rock music, Congolese Rumba, South African Mbaqanga, soul and traditional beats into an underground music movement that would shape the future of Zimbabwean sound and challenge the colonial establishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll the commotion started drawing interest from South Africa’s industry players and a good number of Rhodesian bands – including The Great Sounds, MD Rhythm Success, Afrique 73, The Hitch-Hikers, The Impossibles and the O.K Success – had managed to get one-off recording deals with Gallo Record on the strength of their live performances. But for some reason the South African giant didn’t totally capitalise on the momentum and that vacuum was filled in 1974 by the Teal Record Company who had decided to beef up their Rhodesian subsidiary. Crispen Matema, a prolific drummer with a love for traditional music, was hired to oversee the program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDriving across the country in his Peugeot 504, Matema scouted undiscovered talent, organised live music contests, and booked a small studio in downtown Salisbury. Within a year, he had recorded fantastic bands such The Baked Beans, Blacks Unlimited, New Tutenkhamen, The Acid Band, Echoes Ltd, Gypsy Caravan and many others. To release this flood of music, Teal launched several new imprints, including Afro Soul, Afro Pop, and Shungu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot to be outdone, Gallo Records finally sent the legendary sax jive producer West Nkosi to Rhodesia to scout for emerging talent. A chance recommendation led him to the Jamaica Inn Hotel, where he encountered The Green Arrows led by the carismatic Zexie Manatsa. By Christmas 1974, their single ‘Chipo Chiroorwa’ had sold over 25,000 copies, making them the first Rhodesian band to earn a gold disc. In November 1975 Nkosi arranged for another session for The Green Arrows at the Film Project Studios to record the fuzz-drenched ‘Towering Inferno’, a tribute to Paul Newman and the crystalline guitar instrumental ‘No Delay’, a homage to Steve McQueen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1976 the liberation war is raging when Teal began immortalising Thomas Mapfumo on 1\/4inch tape. Thomas had just joined forces with the Black Unlimited and The Acid Band and had started modernising traditional songs to great effect. That revolutionary style deeply rooted in Shona culture known as Chimurenga unified all generations under the banner of the liberation struggle.\u003cbr\u003e\nZexie Manatsa and Thomas Mapfumo massive popularity attracted the attention of the PATU (Police Anti-Terrorist Unit) who didn't like the massive crowds these artists were attracting. As a result Both Manatsa and Mapfumo were arrested and imprisoned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the arrests and the increasing scrutiny from the Rhodesian authorities, the music refused to be silenced. If anything, the repression only strengthened the resolve of Zimbabwean artists such as the enigmatic Tineyi Chikupo, who continued to compose songs that carried the hopes and struggles of the people. By the time Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980, the musicians who had risked everything to give their people a voice emerged as national heroes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25 songs presented in this project showcase the birth of the modern music industry in Zimbabwe and the explosion of creativity bands of the 1970s and 80s delivered is endlessly rewarding. It was a time of wild experimentation before established genres had crystallised. Rock, rumba, soul and traditional grooves all collide beautifully in this collection, which also includes never-before-released tracks by Thomas Mapfumo, Oliver Mtukudzi and many other Zimbabwean artists!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- plug-seven-hike-2026-10-29:end --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMedia: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA1.

At the time, Mexico City’s dance-party scene was ruled by the sonideros, a highly developed network of mobile soundsystem operators. The popularity of the sonideros led to a growing demand for tropical music, as their fan base became increasingly hungry for the “exclusive” hits associated with particular sonidos. Additionally record dealers were getting frustrated with the music industry constantly “feeding” them streams of mediocre records and from this frustration came the idea of compiling and manufacturing LPs on which every song was a hit: “no matter where the needle dropped, it had to be a song capable of igniting the party.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese bootleg compilations – known as “pirata” – were pressed during graveyard shift on recycled vinyl in editions of no more than 500; they were cheaply produced and sold just as cheaply to people who otherwise wouldn’t have been able to afford them. They were played extensively in every corner of Mexico’s heavily-populated barrios where, in addition to educating the ears of the youngsters, they also promoted some of the best tropical music recorded in Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to various first-hand accounts these “piratas” began to appear mysteriously in the early 1980s at various market stalls in Tepito, Mexico City’s infamous barrio, a place where one can attend daytime Salsa parties, get any drug imaginable, buy any kind of weapon and, of course, purchase pirated music in all formats. It seems that the manufacturers of pirata LPs worked on the principle that “what happens in Tepito stays in Tepito” and getting information about their bootlegging operations was difficult, not to mention dangerous. My partner in crime – Carlos “Tropicaza” Icaza, who had agreed to write the notes to this project – was quick to point out that: “We won’t be able to disclose any names. We’ll have to be careful how we tell the story!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt first the pirata LPs came in a simple generic covers, had made-up company names such as Discos Music-Hall, Carioca, Garden, or Miami, and contained popular street-dance songs in nearly every tropical genre. As these unlikely compilations became successful and new ones started being produced at a rate of one per month, the pirates began designing and printing interesting looking covers which often featured the logos of some of the most popular sonidos such as Rolas, Pancho, La Changa, Arco-Iris, Casablanca. The pioneer of this design style was Jaime Ruelas, who had started out as a DJ for the legendary mobile discoteque Polymarchs before using his illustration skills to design their flyers, posters and logos. Taking direct inspiration from science fiction movies and heavy metal covers, the graphics he created became a key element of sonidero culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe anonymous manufacturers may not have realised it at the time but, in daring to create pirata LPs, they were helping to consolidate and expand a love for tropical music and dance among the population of Mexico City and beyond. The records themselves are a key element of the sonidero culture that was recently declared as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Mexico City for the impact that it has had on multiple generations who identified with the communal experience of the street party, and for whom music and dance became an essential part of daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis double-LP contains 23 tropical floor-fillers sourced from the finest and strangest pirata LPs produced during the golden age of Mexico City’s mobile soundsystems.

Nightclubs, hotels and theatres filled with the sound of ambitious young musicians blending Somali melodies with funk, disco, reggae, soul and jazz. At the centre of that movement was Dur-Dur Band — a group whose recordings would later travel far beyond Somalia’s borders and find new audiences decades after they were made.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" face=\"Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0.14px;\"\u003eDrummer Adan Handal was there from the beginning. Born in Mogadishu in 1962, he left school as a teenager to follow his obsession with music. Alongside childhood friend Isse Dahir Qassim, he first performed in school competitions before joining the military band Bakaka. When that chapter ended after the Ogaden War, the two musicians imagined something new: a private band that could bring together some of Mogadishu’s finest young talents and explore new directions in Somali popular music. That idea gave birth to Dur-Dur Band.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" face=\"Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0.14px;\"\u003eBy 1984, the group had become the house band at the legendary Jubba Hotel, where they developed their explosive live performances and constantly evolving sound. Drawing inspiration from Somali traditions as well as international influences, Dur-Dur created music that was both deeply local and remarkably modern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" face=\"Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0.14px;\"\u003eTheir early cassette releases — Volumes 1 and 2 — quickly spread across Somalia. But it was with Volumes 3 and 4 that the band reached its creative peak. Recorded under difficult circumstances, these albums captured a group pushing against every limitation: experimenting with rhythms, arrangements and studio techniques while facing personal losses and a country moving toward crisis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" face=\"Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0.14px;\"\u003eThe making of Volume 3 was marked by tragedy when singer Shimaali Ahmed Shimaali was badly injured in a car accident and later left Dur-Dur to join Iftin Band, one of their main rivals. Shortly before the recording of Volume 4, Baastow — the band’s male lead singer from the beginning — left for Saudi Arabia. Another devastating blow followed when founder and bandleader Isse Dahir Qassim died in an electrical accident during a theatre soundcheck. For a time, the future of Dur-Dur was uncertain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" face=\"Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0.14px;\"\u003eWith new members joining and Adan Handal pushing the band into new sonic territory, Volume 4 became one of Dur-Dur’s most adventurous recordings — combining electronic percussion, unusual drum textures and reggae-inspired grooves with the unmistakable spirit of Somali music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style='letter-spacing: 0.14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, \"Nimbus Sans\", Arial, sans-serif;'\u003eVolume 5 would be their final chapter before civil war forced the musicians into exile and scattered them across the world.
