Mori River Jazz Band - Harison Oyier (Kenyan benga, 1973)

(RCA Africana FWBO 9305).

Just a fresh and enjoyable benga track (check part2 when the bells enter!)

If you like that kind of tunes, stay around ...

Lobo y Melon (Afrocuban jazz in Mexico, 60s)

(RCA CAMDEN 102-23106).

Here's a Mexican band created in the late 50s and composed by the drummer Carlos Daniel Navarro Pulido (Lobo) and the singer Luis Angel Silva Nava (Melon). Their first LP (early 60s) is representative of the various caribbean influences in during the 60s (cuban orchestras, US latin jazz, african drums... ), as many musicians from the region were playing in Acapulco or Mexico.
