"SI I BON DI I BON!!" (mix of MERENGUE,CONGOLESE RUMBA,BEGUINE,GWO KA,CHAMPETA,COMPASS..)
We are mixing uptempo MERINGUE from Guadeloupe, CONGOLESE RUMBA, BIGUINE, African MERENGUE, GWO KA, AFRO LATIN, CHAMPETA, with COMPASS. Yet some of the records are warped or in bad repair. Those have been found in garage sales and used record shops in Montreal. We are also playing CD's. We can't mix CD's as well as we mix vinyl. Although these recordings range in dates released from 1956 to 2008, the vast majority were released between 1967 and 1973.
Groups like LES LÉOPARDS and LE RY-CO JAZZ really put out amazing records in the late 1960's. Enjoy!

| Joseph Kabasele (the GRAND KALLE of AFRICAN JAZZ) was considered to be "the great internationalist". His vision of people around the world dancing together was foreshadowing and grandiose. It was really another Rumba group from the Belle Epoque of the Congo that truly personified that vision with music that complemented the vast musical complexities of the African diaspora. They were RY-CO JAZZ. Their musical flexibility was utterly breathtaking, inspiring generations of musicians and djs throughout Africa, french Europe and the Caribbean. RY-CO JAZZ was short for 'RYTHME CONGOLAIS jAZZ"
Founded in the Congo around 1958, RY-CO JAZZ competed with giants like the previously mentioned AFRICAN JAZZ and O.K JAZZ. Unlike them, RY-CO JAZZ left the Congo for France and the Caribbean. Record after record would expand their popularity throughout Africa, France, the Caribbean and Latin America. In the original tradition of Congolese Rumba, they would reinvent the Twist and various Latino and Caribbean genres of Disco and dance musics. They would influence early Eurodisco producers and the pioneers of Zouk and "the Miami Sound" of American Disco. Their impact has been remarkable! This show splices together some of their more memorable hit singles and discotheque standards; including "Marie Jose" a remake of the African Jazz 1960 classic "Merengue Scoubidou", likely the first Disco cover-version ever! |
