Cazumbi Vol. 1 – African sixties garage

GuerssenAdmin — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:00:00 +0000

WARNING! This not an Afro Beat or Afro Rock compilation, the music on this record is strictly 60’s garage as you might expect of it!!! Dwarf, Ghost, Soul From Another world, it’s the African definition for CAZUMBI!

You probably always thought such countries, except South Africa, had nothing to contribute the 60’s garage scene…..but seems our little world still has virgin places for the obscure garage 45s diggers before going to Mars!!! Here you have a surprising compilation of very, very rare tracks taken from 45s released in Congo, Angola, Mozambique and South Africa.

Garage rock, garage surf, powerful 60’s R&B… an amazing collection with groups such as H20 (Mozambique) who had even carton boxes among their instruments, a rare track by the A-Cads, the incredibly rare Kriptons from Angola, an Italian sung (!!!) great cover of the Prunes’ “I had too much to dream” by Conjunto Oliveira Muge in Mozambique, the eerie French sung “Eh bien mon ami” by African Fiesta…

Nicely done release with remastered sound, and an insert with rare and obviously unseen photos and liners!

Zulu Stomp!! South Africa Garage Beats (papersleev

GuerssenAdmin — Mon, 24 May 2010 22:00:00 +0000

While national newspapers portrayed them as “hordes of sloppy, aggressive, be-jeaned louts and their girlfriends who cause so much trouble in South Africa”, a whole new generation of garage rockers was flooding the clubs with savage, primitive fuzz sounds. No doubt South Africa was the in-place in Mother Africa in the 60’s, with a strong scene as can be heard on the Cazumbi compilations and this new Zulu Stomp that is exclusively dedicated to that country. Expect some of the best garage music you’ve ever heard from Africa, and don’t miss this one if you liked these Cazumbis, or you’ll regret!!!

This release includes as insert with linernotes plus a bunch of rare photos. Great remastered sound as well.
Featuring: A-Cads, Freedom’s Children, Invaders, The Kynd, The Zeros, Upsetters, Navarones, Hoochie Coochies…and more!!
