SONG OF THE DAY Osibisa – The Dawn
With an extensive back catalogue that reaches back to the end of the 1960’s, Osibisa are still going to this day! Albeit with a few line-up changes (the original band featured on the first three albums). This very experimental and … Continue reading
SONG OF THE DAY Ginger Johnson & His African Messengers – Talking Drum
“All the music that we do is based firmly on African traditions. So is rhythm and blues – but we try to get nearer the source, right down to the grass roots of the jungle – the sun, the heat, … Continue reading
SONG OF THE DAY Yishak Banjaw – Libey Ma’aduley
I don’t know what it is about this tune that makes me smile so much!? Is it the otherworldly, I-was-created-on-another-planet sound, the very enticing mystery in the melody, or just the sheer wonder of its simplicity….of course its all of … Continue reading

SONG OF THE DAY The Don Isaac Ezekiel Combination – Amalinja
The Don Isaac Ezekiel Combination were a band formed by three ex-members of Fela Kuti’s 1960s highlife-jazz outfit, the Koola Lobitos – this being the prototype band Fela Kuti set-up before changing the name to Africa 70 in 1970. Consisting … Continue reading
SONG OF THE DAY Braen & Raskovich – Afro Flower
Today’s little funk/soul scorcher was previously unreleased until the Italian label, Four Flies Records, thankfully brought this little gem to light for the first time in 2018! Accompanied by a very cool B-side (which I will feature at a later … Continue reading
