ReplyDeleteEnorme !
ReplyDeleteAlors pour les infos, c'est du créole de l'île Maurice.
Du lagon dans tes oreilles :-)
Merci les gars pour votre travail c'est formidable.
this is actually a famous Mauritian musician Claudio Veeraragoo who's been releasing lots of recordings since appr. 1969 - as simply Claudio or with the Satanik group. this EP is from 1972.
ReplyDeletei have original cassette with his 1989 album, Violoniste. think i'm gonna digitize it but i don't have the technical possibility right now. in a couple of months maybe.
anyway, MANY MANY THANX for posting this curious vintage record!!!
PS. if it's not asking too much, could you PLEASE make also a rear-side scan of the EP?

ReplyDeleteactually, i'm not much of a sega geek. back in 1989 my friend's mother brought over from Mauritius this
cassette i mentioned before. we used to play it at parties along with other exotic stuff including some other
sega; however, i didn't know anything about the man except for what was on cassette (nothing - but
himself, a flowered girl and the songs - see http://s844.photobucket.com/albums/ab1/dustraman/?
action=view¤t=cassettecover.jpg). then many years later (& quite recently, as it is), my another
friend married a girl from Cabo Verde who turned out to be a musician (percussionist), she knew Claudio
Veeraragoo personally & even played w/him at a concert! she also had a cd compilation of
Claudio/Satanik material signed by the man himself ((w/*quite* affectionate words, I say!)). we played it
several times, it had sorta booklet w/tiny pics of great many Claudio releases beginning w/'69. your ep
was there marked 1972, i remember well cause i used to take a good hit of caboverdiana ganja &
scrutinize these pictures, the earliest especially, pondering i'll probably NEVER be able to get 'em (in any
form) to listen to, except maybe as some separate trax on comps which is not that fun at all... so just
imagine my (sweet) surprise when i stumbled upon this your page!!!!
...well. i wanted to copy that cd, scans & all, but one not very fine day (or was it night, rather), coupla weeks
ago, the girl packed her multicoloured bags & flew back to her Green islands... my friend followed her
very soon w/firm determination to bring her back again or maybe stay there himself (what a thing to do!); i
dunno what it will be in the end - & here i am now w/out my cd copy, w/out cabian verdian greenstuff but
listening to your ep=) yep. that's the way things go....
here are pages where you can see (& order) more recent Claudio/Satanik releases:

http://www.radiomoris.com/forum/discographie-des-artistes/605-claudio-veeraragoo-et-les-satanik.html;
& when i finally digitize my cassette into an uploadable form i'll comment ya the link.
[i didn't tell you the whole story the first time cause i was too lazy & too busy at the day, also i didn't think it
apt to plunge into long stories right away. but after your nice answer i decided to own up to the whole thing
so you'd know just HOW surprised i was to find this your post! THANX AGAIN! yours is a cool&curious
blog so i'll be comin' round!]
