The Movers : Vol. 1 - 1970-1976

"It's a special, but also a strange sensation to be releasing an album of one of your early musical heroes. I first discovered The Movers on my very first "record safari" in 1996. My destination was Bulawayo, in southern Zimbabwe, and to get there I had to travel via Jo'burg. While in town I stopped at a store called Kohinoor, in search of Mbaqanga - also known as Township Jive - and found a few tapes which I listened to non-stop on the bus that carried me to the land of Chimurenga Music. One of these cassettes included the songs 'Hot Coffee' and 'Phukeng Special' which instantly became part of my daily life. Twenty-five years later I'm still grooving to them. What I didn't know at that time was that The Movers were hugely successful during the 1970s; so when it came time to release some of their music, I thought it was going to be "a walk in the park" to track down information about them and write their biography. I was in for a rude awakening. Despite their legendary status, there was almost no information available on band or any of its members. Fortunately Nicky Blumenfeld from Kaya Radio came to the rescue. A few days after I reached out to her, she had managed to get the phone number of Kenneth Siphayi, who is considered to be the founder of the band, as well as vocalist Blondie Makhene and saxophonist Lulu Masilela. Although we left no stone unturned, we were unable to find any of the four original members who seem to have passed away in total anonymity. The story of The Movers began in 1967 when two unknown musicians - the brothers Norman and Oupa Hlongwane - approached Kenneth Siphayi, a stylish and wealthy businessman from the Alexandra township, to ask if he could buy them musical instruments. In return he would receive a cut from future live shows and record deals. Kenneth, ended up doing much more, becoming their manager, setting them up in a rehearsal space, and introducing them to an organist who would prove to be the missing link in the band's skeletal sound. He also gave them their name: The M...

Orchestre Abass : De bassari togo

In 1972, Orchestre Abass released two incredible singles on Polydor. These records -featuring 'Shamarin Banza', 'Haka Dunia' and other Afro-funk masterpieces- were powerful enough to knock any music head out, but it wasn't until the discovery of some unreleased material by the band that the seeds for this project were planted. With their heavy, organ-led sound combining with the deftest of musical touches, these records were the work of a rhythmic powerhouse and Analog Africa are honoured to be in a position to present the recordings of Togo's funkiest band. All the music was licensed directly from the various composers of these songs. The vinyl is pressed on 180 gram high quality virgin vinyl and the gatefold contains previously unseen pictures and a detailed biography of this mighty band.SIDE 1:1. Haka Dunia2. Soo Soo Mungha3.

African Brothers / V/A / Taylor, Ebo / Uppers International : Afrobeat airways 2

'Return Flight To Ghana 1974-1983'. From the coastal cities of Accra and Cape Coast, basked in a tropical sound heavily influenced by highlife, to the semi-Saharan cities of Tamal and Bolgatanga (part of a self-proclaimed Islamic Funk Belt) via the central city of Kumasi, Analog Africa has criss-crossed Ghana in search of rare tracks for the 'Afrobeat Airways' series. Following the success of the first instalment in 2009, Analog Africa now presents the second volume, offering a selection of 13 ultra-rare tracks composed by some of the musical giants who had created a movement that rocked the West African nation throughout the '70s. Featured are legendary singer K. Frimpong, Nana Ampedu (leader of the mighty African Brothers Band), Gyedu-Blay Ambolley and his superb guest appearance with The Complex Sounds, afrobeat star Ebo Taylor, backing his son in an unreleased track called 'Children Don't Cry', the enigmatic Rob and his unique blend of twisted afrofunk, innovative drummer De Frank and Uppers International, with their raw Islamic funk style. At the same time more obscure artists such as Los Issufu & his Moslems, Waza Afriko 76 and Tony Sarfo & His Funky Afrosibi make their northern hemisphere debuts, adding to a rich list of Ghanaian artists whose music could be transferred seamlessly to any dancefloor in the world. Three years in the making, the accompanying 44-page booklet of 'Afrobeat Airways 2' features an introductory essay written by Afropop Worldwide editor Banning Eyre, exploring the development of soul, funk and Afrobeat during the '60s and '70s in Ghana. The remaining 30 pages are packed with interviews and biographies of the artists and producers involved in the creation of this wonderful music. Additionally, the Analog Africa team have managed to track down the photographers of the famous Modern Photo studios, located at the front of Accra's legendary Tip Toe, a venue notorious for organizing unforgettable dance competitions, Miss Tip Toe contests and the most in-demand highlife and Afrobeat gig...
