Bola isn't playing guitar, but he's drat good at the two string lute and his singing is incredibly energetic. From awesome tapes from Africa: He is a singer and instrumentalist from Bolgatanga, Ghana who has been putting out tape after tape of ridiculously energetic and thoughtful songs for the last few years. I almost died when I heard this Volume 7 tape for the first time. Bola’s intense Frafra-language vocals, along with his shredding kologo—a two-stringed lute—boosted by bass-heavy, angular keyboard melodies and dance floor-ready drums. I am fascinated by Bola’s take on a traditional instrument and musical style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF-3zlHcQZc

Double posting to add something in a completely different direction than Bola Mouhamodou Lo and His Childrenby theWau Wau Collectif of Senegal, as released by Sahel Sounds Throwback sounds to an older style of songwriting mixed with what comes across as outsider folk as heard through a dream The video is also really phenomenal for HD images of farming and animal husbandry, dedicated to the peasants for all their hard work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57bH_Z_8xsw

unbelievable posts in this thread. where am I. why isn't this being shat upon or somehow turned into 50 pages of bayonetta sequel talk or something. why is there three pages of loving sick rear end music nobody I know in person would be interested in sharing with me. hell yeah edit: for content I stumbled across the sample source for the above posted Busy Twist song, which unsurprisingly is also a great song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm0gkZYRtrQ Deep Glove Bruno fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Sep 30, 2021 |

I think I heard this on one of Frank "voodoofunk" Gossner's mixes back in the day and it was the gateway to a 15 year interest in african music that went beyond fela and king sunny ade. This is a mega classic to me. I was reminded of it because of the boogie track posted upthread with the same title, Makom Ma Bobe, no relation I can discern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4B88-aJHnw and for fun here's a third Makom Ma Bobe that seems unrelated to the other two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lKSW4I0hLk that song title, which I don't know the translation of, is batting 1.000

PTSDeedly Do posted:this rocks Yup! Awesome Tapes from Africa posted:Volume 7, which came out in 2009, is just one entry in a brilliant series of recordings Bola has released on CD and cassette. Although he employs a traditional instrument and the age-old mode of griot story-telling, Bola embraces elements of up-to-the-minute mainstream Ghanaian music—drum machines, synths, bone-shaking bass. Inspired by pioneering kologo greats like King Ayisoba, Bola has taken a dynamic instrument used by traditional healers and herbalists to sing to god in search of advice and taken it to futuristic heights.

My lazy googling doesn't reveal much. They do have them some talent in Cameroon though evidently. Speaking of which, everyone should check out this new comp from Analog Africa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5yEOxwadfs This has been a secret weapon in my crate for years and one of the first second hand 45s I spent more than £50 on. I completely missed that it got re-issued a few years ago until someone pointed this out to me the other day so the selfish DJ nerd side of me doesn't feel too bad about sharing it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apmyCctAVGA

Great thread! Amazing collection of music I've never heard before. Has anyone posted any Ebo Taylor yet? An afrobeat guitarist from Ghana who has been recording since the 50's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVkO6yfKnfI Check out Batsumi, a South African jazz fusion band from the 70s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsH9_y-7Qm0

tunisian lute jazz fits close enough. this guy is one of my favorite modern composers and he's a great player in his own right. all sorts of different fusions of styles and instruments across his albums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0c3hI5uyoc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkBntrqDOO0

Loving all the recommendations in this thread. My first introduction to African music was when my dad brought back the greatest hits of Malathini and the Mahotella Queens from South Africa when he was over there covering Nelson Mandela's release. My current favourite playlist for work focus or chillout is all Kora music by various artists.

Does this count? My uncle's from Zimbabwe/South Africa, and been playing guitar all his life. I grew up listening to this album in particular: https://ilanzagoria.bandcamp.com/album/coaltrain-to-cape-town He was also in a group called Sundiata Marimba Band, which was also a fixture of my childhood, though they split up long ago and I can't find recordings online (and at any rate the guitar pieces are just ones from Coaltrain to Cape Town anyway).

hell yea i like this kind of stuff let me post a few of my favs in this mould https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgRQxlUF7HM there's a lot of great fuzzed-out african psychedelia but ofo the black company is the very best, imo. there's a great story about how they were invited to play some kind of youth communist festival in east germany and blew everyone else off the stage - carlos santana, who happened to be in the audience, was so amazed that he insisted on getting on stage to jam with them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8ozKPGwjDY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOvUWk0r5N0 i love 80s african funk/boogie a lot also, here are two great examples of female artists from cote d'ivoire absolutely smashing it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrUwA2ggS1M i just love the combination of wonkiness, funkiness, and the attitude of this one. goddy oku was also a member of the hygrades who made some great 70s rock and he also produced a bunch of records during the late 70s/early 80s in lagos yugioh mishima fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Nov 24, 2022 |
