Mysterious Stranger Podcast

Disco Afrique - Episode 5 

All original pressings, in this one, although, we are featuring some very rare lps, that have been recently reissued in the last 2-3 years, so you can get a lot of these for a mere fraction of what the originals cost nowadays. Thought I would collect some of the bangers from those together with a few ones that haven’t seen a reish yet like Zik Emmy, Akwesi, Melvin Ukachi, and Joe Mensah.

Zik Emmy - Feel Alright

Melvin Ukachi - Come and Dance

Philip and Lloyd - I Gave You Love

Odion Iruoje - Identify With Your Root

Rim Kwaku Obenga and Kasa - Love Me For Real

Akwesi Roberto - Hwewodofo

N'Draman Blintch - Man-Nou

Aleke Kanonu - N'Gwode

Mor Thiam - Ayo Ayo Nene

Quiet Cosmic Thunder is a brief break in the usual programming on Mysterious Stranger, this episode is more a meditation, for mellow mornings, and quiet reflection. The Olympics hold a special place in my heart, right next to Carl Sagan, and I hope you'll forgive me for this mellow episode. We are back next week with extreme tropical dancing goodness, with a focus on 80's and some early 90's sounds.
