Africa/World Roots on Milky Way K7s


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...
