Hello mangue!
ReplyDeleteHave just recognized your blog.
Mango is much too sweet but I like the music you share.
A complete sleeve's scan of 'Les Hits du Guinea Vol. 2' would be highly appreacheated.
By the way, post-colonial african head of states is a delicate topic. Perhaps one wasn't bad but a dreamer all others were bad to evil. Sékou Touré however is counted to be one of the 'killers', better to ignore him.
What you experienced in concern of his former palace is not a special feature, travel to the Congo
and visit places which were important to Mobutu, you may not understand.
All the best for the future
Thomas
Hello Thomas,
DeleteHere's the full scan: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SzFYB1x-S5c/VqS2Tkn7iUI/AAAAAAAAAFg/NoS95CeAvz4/s1600/VA-Guinea_Super%2BSelection%2BVol%2B2-cover.jpg
Regarding post-colonial African heads of state, you're right, still for me the experience was special, never been to the Congo though.
Searched the web for pictures of the hotel, couldn't find any, may it's been broken down by now (and replaced by a new one).
Glad you enjoy the music, and just eat other fruit while listening.
Mangue
PS: Do you may be have any K7s from Congo?
