I have been ...and thank you so much for doing that. I have been immersing myself in your blog for about a month now, and rather unapologetically so at that. I am giving myself a mid-level crash course in this continent's many musical movements through your thoughtful comments and uploads. I had an inkling via a slew of John Storm Roberts-curated releases years ago that I would some day venture down this path, and I'm happy you are helping me - unwittingly, perhaps - along.

The first of these was Colonel Bangala, one of Mobutu's companions in the 'revolution' (coup), who was instructed, as Franco sings in "Colonel Bangala", to fight against juvenile deliquency.<br /><br />Thanks for this addition!<br /><br />@Timothy: you seem to have read my mind.

I've totally forgotten how "Baluti", "Muana Mburu" and "Kalala" sounded on vinyl. These days we can only get a glimpse of the wonderful past through the distorted "lenses" of cds and mp3.
