This blog is about my love of music from all over Africa. Each post I will highlight a record that I enjoy, give a bit of historical and personal background, and post a recording of the song. I will try to update the blog regularly depending on when time permits and also include some nice cover/label scans.
Most of the music posted on this blog is recorded from my own copies of vinyl/cassette. I will try to get the best sound out of the source, but bear in mind that many records are poor pressings and/or in less than great condition. Most of the tracks are not available in any other format due to rarity, age and being out of print. If for any reason you want a track removed because you are the copyright owner please contact me and I will look into this.
Enjoy!

I love your blog, I’ve already found a stack of artists I’d never heard of that I now love.
Glad you like it! Please keep reading as I have a lot of interesting stuff planned.

hi obruni,
I’m after one specific track from Gyedu Blay Ambolley ‎– Simi Rapp
Do you know on which LP is it on? Maybe the cut your coat?
here’s a link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFHSgqoPJDs
would be lovely to get some help!
Best from Berlin

It’s not on Cut Your Coat. Pretty sure the Simi Rap was a modern reworking of Simigwado on his debut album. Think it appeared on The Secondi Man in 2013.
