Searching for more info about the previous post, I hit upon a very manguetic series of K7s: Milky Way cassettes [15 in total]. All uploaded by Melkweg at their own soundcloud account, and containing live recordings from concerts in the Melkweg [=Milky Way], Amsterdam between 1982 and 1991, mostly from Africa/World Roots Festivals.
No recordings from Franco here, but many, many others from all over our globe, like:
Africa Roots vol.2 [1984]: Ifang Bondi (Senegambia), M'Bamina (Congo), Fesobi Olawaiye (Nigeria), George Darko & Bus Stop (Ghana), The Sunsum Band (Ghana), Oema Prisiri (Surinam), Trafassi (Surinam) and Fatala (Guinee)
All recorded 1984.Aug.29-Sep.02 live at the Melkweg during the Africa Roots Festival.
You can all check them out at

PS: in the early/mid 1980s some of these recordings were also issued on LPs...
Thank you very much, those are some amazing recordings!
ReplyDeleteThank You! I'm enjoying the "nuit arabe" of rai music!
ReplyDeletevery interesting set of "cassettes" here thanks for the link, I've listened to a couple already. Now one naturally wonders... where are the other volumes of Africa Roots? There must be a volume one and a volume three at least... :))
ReplyDeleteVol.1 [1983] and Vol.3 [1985] seem to have released on vinyl only, see at discogs.com/label/126440-Milkyway-Records
ReplyDeleteyep thanks for the hint
