The Groove
Saturday December 2nd, 2017 with Elorious Cain
..you should know the pain you caused in my heart today. It's true that dearth can't be purchased...

The title of today's show is a bit of the english translation of the lyrics from the late TABU LEY ROCHEREAU's classic CONGOLESE RUMBA love song "Ndaya Paradis". We have also supplied the whole english translation of the song. It is obviously sung in the original Lingala. We follow with another TABU LEY classic "MOBALI NA NGAI WANA"; one of our personal favourites. This enchanting song is sung by the unforgettable MBILIA BEL. We can't help but to mix it into the LAS CHICAS DEL CAN cover version from the Dominican Republic. Taking us to MERENGUE, we shall continue with Angolan and Congolese MERENGUE gems including the AFRICAN JAZZ classic from 1960 "Merengue Scoubidou". Again with a disco cover version! - We follow with the RYCO-JAZZ cover version of the previously mentioned AFRICAN JAZZ classic released in 1970 under the name "Marie Jose". After that we start an extended mix with still another version of "Marie Jose" from the 1993 RYCO-JAZZ album "YO LA!"
Tabu Ley Rochereau - "Ndaya Paradis" (English Translation)
_______________________________________________________________________

Ndaya my love,
you should know the pain you caused in my heart today.
It's true that dearth can't be purchased...
but that of yours (I'll implore God}
Oh God let it be me instead!
'cause I don't want to see natural beauty parish and me left behind.

Ndaya!
indeed this is love.
In hearsay I have heard about it,
but now I know the feeling...
