Nice job!
I check this blog so much I knew as soon as this got posted.
I think Na Bosani Adresse is a Youlou Mabiala composition.
@niyi: You are 100% right. I wanted to put "Jerome" (the other side of the single, which is a Simaro composition) but this is almost 2 minutes longer and would make the selection too long. I have replaced "Na Bosani Adresse" now with "Motema Na Yo Retroviseur" (only a few seconds longer).
Thanks for pointing this out!
where is the download link?
@Pius Adoyo: Good question. When you click on the little temple-like icon on the right you should be directed to the Internet Archive page, where you will find four download options.
Thanks for all your good work.
It's my first time hearing some of these... including Na Bosani Adresse which I heard once before you removed. Also my first time hearing Motema Na Yo Retroviseur. I bet many Rumba fans would be happy to pay a good amount for a compilation of OK Jazz songs from this period (69-71).
@niyi: Your comment shows there is still a lot of work to be done. "Paying a good amount" will never happen on this blog. I just hope that others will be encouraged to dig up and preserve more of these gems.
Track three with the guitar duet with Luambo Franco one of the most beautiful moments in musical history.
sorry i meant track 2 fifi innocente just wonderful duet with Franco. two masters.

Thank you! 10 years of coming back to this blog. I almost can't believe it.
Dear Stefan,
I was having a really lame WE, this has just saved my day! Thank you!
Abraços, Fabricio
Welcome back, thanks for this bit of goodness! Lovely, indeed.
Thanks!
Has Simaro ever disclosed who his favorite OK Jazz singer was? Or his favorite band song from that era?
@(the last) Anonymous: It would be very unlike Simaro to disclose this. But it is clear that he had a preference for more 'dramatic' singers, such as Djo Mpoyi and Carlyto.
Great job.please by age I am part of to.ok.jazz generation.avail me with anything available.
