to kick off the new month here is a groovy mix of great rumba, soukous, afrobeat…all tracks taken from ‘Hit Parade Africain Vol 4’, released by the wonderful label Melodisc Records Ltd that was based in London. No year of publication is indicated, so I estimate that this release is from mid 70s. Melodisc Records Ltd released a remarkable selection of early ska, rocksteady and African music and the records are quite rare these days….so enjoy this mix!

Thanks. Do you by any means have, ‘Likambo Lizuaka Niamate’ by Orchestre Zembe Zembe?
Cool–this is much appreciated. Thank you!
Sorry to be greedy, but I don’t suppose you could post the whole Mainceiro track separately? Thank you.
