Accompanied by his n'goni, a small harp, Abaye Adam Abakar, from Tchad, has traveled for a long time around the African and European continent as a singer and storyteller. 

It was in Toulouse that he meets Nicolas Lafourest, guitarist of 'Cannibales et Vahinés', with whom he formed the band 'La Seconde Méthode'.

 The quartet offers a music melting African tradition, trance, rock and noise.

.KUNGOBRAM - PAS DE CHAUFFAGE.

Y11W45

KUNGOBRAM is a mixture of near and far 

made of back and forth between Paris and Bamako where five musicians come together to engage in dialogue mixing jazz, urban music and West African style.

Thereby they offers an original work based on two driving principles: rhythm and energy. 

The result is surprising, unusual, exciting, sometimes quiet and meditative.

Check 'Pas de chauffage'

extract from their first instrumental Ep.

Have also a look and a listen to others tracks on their MySpace.

049° .SILVER 60's. compiled by MAMBO C

.SILVER 60's.

 compiled by MAMBO C. 

Gaita, Porro, Merengue, Paseo, Guaracha, Jorapo, Cumbia and Plena 
from 1950s and early 60's Colombian 7 inches.


Florence Chavrier aka Mambo C. has been and is still a very close and special friend for me since a very long time. She was part of this 'Les Mains Noires' project at the very beginning and to be true, It is even her who found this name first !
Many things starts together, like the interest and the research about 'tropical' music for example! Common passions about chic & perfumed 'dirty' early recordings who takes nowadays the shape of this compilation whose story is:


While her trip to Colombia last spring,
Flo, gifted and informed digger, meet an old collector in the suburbs of Medellin. The old man took a liking and probably conquered by the charm of Flo, agreed to take her home to sell him some records.
In the midst of those there were many 45 rpm, including several releases from the small cult label 'Silver'...

"Silver label has been set up in about 1950 in Medellin by Julio and José Ramirez Johns, Antioqueno merchants and indistrialists who had also been distributing Colombia and Odeon records in the city. They recorded international and national artists, including a lot of material by Lucho Bermudez and Leonel Ospina, although the company did not specialize in any particular type of music. The firm lasted until the early 1960s, when it was taken over by Industria Nacional del Sonido (INS)." 

'Music, race, & nation: música tropical in Colombia' by Peter Wade

Thus Florence brought home the treasures unearthed at the bottom of an improbable cabin.

So I'm very thankful to her for decided to share those records here !
I hope that you all will enjoy those old Colombian vibes as much as me, as much as her !
