While legendary American bands like Shalamar, Atlantic Star and Change were scoring big hits in US R&B charts in the early 80s, numerous inspired outfits across the globe tried to immitate the popular synth/flap bass Boogie sound of that golden era of Soul music. Successful imitations saw the day in cities like London, Rio de Janeiro or Tokyo. Yet, until very recently, very few knew that a massive Boogie scene was also existing in a very improbable part of the world: Lagos, Nigeria. This selection is an attempt to introduce you to some of the lost treasures of the very respectable early 80s Nigerian Boogie scene. Enjoy!

WaaterproOf & ZjAk - One hour Mix 100% Poly-Rythmo
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2009-08-31
SPECIAL PARIS DJS MIX #200!! ONE HOUR LONG!!!
The Tout Puissant Orchestre de Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou Benin will be playing tomorrow night at the Jazz A La Villette festival along with Amadou & Mariam (featuring guests Romeo and Michele Stodart from The Magic Numbers), Seun Kuti and DJ RKK (Radio Nova) - don't miss this show!! Anyone deeply into old school African music must have already stumbled upon the Jam Magica blog and its growing index of the Orchestre de Poly-Rythmo complete discography. I go there every month at least, and when I saw that Afrofunk collector ZjAk with the help of his friend WaaterproOf had done a one hour Poly-Ryhtmo mix for Radio Grenouille in Marseilles, I asked them to send us a high-quality version for us to podcast on Paris DJs, the day right before the Paris show.... They even re-recorded the mix to insure the best possible quality. It's all rare dusty 45s and old LPs selected and mixed with love, and remastered with care by Grant Phabao of course. Enjoy!

Info (in french) :
Zjak, collectionneur avisé d'afrofunk (entre autres), nous a préparé une sélection autour du Tout Puissant Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Cotonou. Ce groupe béninois majeur des années 60-70, bien qu'encore assez confidentiel, a enregistré entre 50 et 70 lps, ainsi qu'une centaine de 45 tours. Nous ne sommes donc pas au bout de nos découvertes. Comme son nom l'indique, le Poly Rythmo a joué en fonction des modes et des influences géographiques: Cuba, (le son & la salsa), la chanson française et les yéyés, puis la Soul (Otis Redding & James Brown) et l'afrofunk des voisins ghanéens et nigérians. (Lagos et son industrie musicale sont à quelques kilomètres de Cotonou) Mais le Poly rythmo développera également par la force des choses son propre son, vaudou, psychédélique et funky. Sa force est aussi dans la taille de son personnel: 3 chanteurs (pour la Soul, la chanson et le style béninois, mais aussi pour des questions de langage ...), une section de cuivres, basse, batterie et surtout un guitariste de renom: Papillon. Bonne écoute.

Loik - Afro Diggin' | Comments: 4

Loik - Afro Diggin'
(MP3 Podcast on www.parisdjs.com) Kraked, 2009-07-02
Africa is a wonderful song from Bob Pinodo, famous for bringing the gospel vibes to Ghana, a must in soulful breakbeat Afro vibes.
Osima - Waouh!! This is pure delight from Rex lawson, one of the fathers of Highlife, an instant classic to my ears, with amazing classy drumming and a haunting melody, this is a masterpiece no less!
Ise Owo is Apala Soul and I want more!! A dancefloor bomb from the master of nigerian saxophone, Orlando Julius.
You Are The One is a special crossover of Soul, Disco, Latin and Afrobeat with a strong statement. It could be an anthem on any afrogroovy dancefloor. Deep & catchy music from Tony Grey.
I fell in love with Show Me Your Love by the Opamanbuo International Band Of Ghana. With its haunting guitar licks and irresistible voice, it throws my blues away and makes me feel good. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
All those are really rare records coming straight from Africa, so clicks and background noise are numerous, even with all the love we gave them. But all those songs need to be rediscovered, and often vinyl is the only testimony left. So let's hope you'll enjoy the ride - and don't worry there are more to come... (Loik)

Rail Band biography (in french) :
La Mali accède à son indépendance le 20 juin 1960. Le premier président de la république du Mali, Modiba Keita s'inspire de la politique menée par Sékou Touré en Guinée depuis 1958 et place la revalorisation de la culture au coeur de sa politique. Dès le lendemain de son élection, le nouveau président instaure le Grand Orchestre ''A'' dont la mission est de représenter la diversité culturelle et de chanter les louanges de la nouvelle république socialiste. Désireux de regrouper tous les talents du pays, Modiba Keita instaurera peu de temps après la création du grand orchestre ''A'', les grands orchestres ''B'' et ''C''. Le nouveau chef d'état espère ainsi créer une unité nationale et affirmer la culture Malienne après plus de soixante années de colonialisme français.
Le Mali est un pays de tradition orale où la musique y tient un rôle prépondérant. Elle fédère depuis la nuit des temps les différentes ethnies autour d'histoires, de contes et de mythologie... La musique est omniprésente dans tous les domaines de la vie, pour les événements heureux comme malheureux (naissance, circoncision, décès, mariage...).
Suivant l'exemple des pays frères (URSS-Cuba), Modibo Keita organise les semaines de la jeunesse en 1962. Durant une semaine, toutes les régions du Mali vont concourir dans différentes disciplines tels que le sport, le théâtre, la danse ou bien encore les orchestres régionaux...Toute la jeunesse est enthousiaste, chaque village a son orchestre et rêve de représenter sa région, sa culture lors de la semaine de la jeunesse. Des compétitions régionales ont lieux afin d'élire le meilleur orchestre qui deviendra régional et défendra ''ses couleurs'' lors de la semaine de la jeunesse. Un véritable engouement va littéralement embraser le pays. De nombreuses formations voient le jour tels que le ''Grand orchestre de Mopti'' , le ''National Badema'' ou bien encore ''le Super Biton de Segou''.
Le commandant Moussa Troaré s'empare du pouvoir en novembre 1968. La politique culturelle est momentanément suspendue. Les semaines de la jeunesse seront remplacées à partir de 1970 par une biennale. C'est dans ce nouveau contexte de renouveau culturel que le Rail Band voit le jour en octobre 1969.
Orchestre privé du Buffet Hôtel de la Gare de Bamako, Le Rail Band dépend de la Régie des chemins de fer du Mali. Il s'inscrit dans un programme touristique culturel qui devait aller de Dakar à Bamako. Ali Dialo, directeur du Buffet hôtel de la gare de Bamako, souhaite la création d'un orchestre dont la mission serait de divertir la clientèle mais aussi de moderniser le folklore malien. Il confie la création de cet orchestre à l'immense et sous-estimé Tidiani Koné. Précurseur, innovateur, Tidiani Koné (1926-2001) est le premier à introduire le saxophone dans la musique mandingue. Tidiani Koné a d’abord joué des instruments traditionnels comme le n’goni et la flûte traditionnelle avant de devenir saxophoniste dans les années 60 en intégrant l’orchestre ''A''. (Il quittera le Rail Band en 1974 pour devenir le chef d'orchestre du Polyrythmo de Cotonou au Bénin).
Tidiani Koné entend parler d'un jeune albinosse guitariste et chanteur qui a une ''voix d'or '' dénommé Salif Keita. Descendant de Soundjata, le fondateur de l'empire Mandingue au 13 ième siècle, Salif Keita fait partie de la noblesse. Il est l'un des 3 membres fondateurs du Rail Band au côté de Tidaniani Koné et Mamoutou Diakité (guitare rythmique). Durant le dernier trimestre 69, les trois musiciens répétent et travaillent un répertoire, sous l'oeil attentif du directeur de l'hôtel, Ali Dialo, qui ne manque pas de les réprimander si le répertoire s'éloigne du folklore mandingue. Très rapidement, le Rail Band rencontre un franche succès, grâce notamment à ''Soundjata'' en 1970.
Le Buffet Hôtel de la gare de Bamako devient le bar le plus respecté du Mali grâce au prestation quasi journalière du Rail Band. Les officiers militaires, les ministres et les hauts fonctionnaires de l'état viennent y boire un verre en écoutant les chansons du Rail Band. L'orchestre acquiert rapidement une solide réputation dans toute l'Afrique de l'ouest.
Le folklore mandingue est souvent basé sur des duos. Chacun des chanteurs interprète alors un des personnages, ils se répondent comme pour mieux faire vivre l'histoire ancestrale. Désireux ''d'animer'' un peu plus le répertoire, Tidiani Koné engage un jeune chanteur balafoniste originaire de Guinée du nom de Mory Kanté. Très rapidement Salif Keita et Mory Kante ne s'entendent pas. Il faut dire que la brouille entre les Keita et les Kante ne date pas d'hier: au XIII ème siècle, Soudjata Keita, premier empereur du l'empire mandingue, affronta Soumagoro Kante, chef des forgerons et le contraignit à l'exil. Salif quitta le Rail Band pour aller rejoindre ''Les Ambassadeurs'' du motel de Bamako en 1974 et confirme ainsi l'adage mandingue: ''Il ne peut pas y avoir deux éléphants dans la même rivière''.
''Rail Band - The afro funk psyché years - 1973/1977'' est composé de morceaux très rares ayants été enregistrés juste après le départ de Salif Keita pour les Ambassadeurs. Mory Kante chante sur presque tous les morceaux, ''Mouodilo'' fait partie des deux 45'' tours enregistrés au Nigéria en 1975 par le Rail band.
