Guest Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 Dunno if Sam played it but it's rather splendid thanks for posting it up.
Fiftyboiledeggs Posted September 15, 2023 Author Posted September 15, 2023 There are probably loads of African gems waiting to be unearthed. This would have been a monster back in the day.

If you put in Record digging in West Africa it should come up. 1

Roburt Posted September 16, 2023 Posted September 16, 2023 I recall a photo posted on the net about 10 years ago of a record warehouse (?) in somewhere like Nigeria where there were 1000's of albums / 45's strewn all over the floor of a very large room & a guy trying to sort thru them all. In the 70's, west African music was very influenced by US funk sounds, so there should be loads of funky local cuts from those times & a little afterwards. ALSO, quite a few US soul acts toured Sth Africa in the 70's, 80's with a few of them even recording there (I have a couple of Sth African recorded albums, one being a decent effort from C L Blast from 1982).
