African Serenades blog

it vanished ages ago, and ive meandered around the web looking for it, to no avail.

i wondered if any of you fine folks out there had any of the mp3 mixes that they did.

I've got Volume 28, and am happy to upload/ share.

anyone?

that was a great blog, sadly missed around these parts. many a grey day brightened up by those mixes.. these are the ones i have:

- 2006 rewound
- African Serenades 30 - Congo 70s Special.mp3
- African Serenades Vol 31 - Dr Nico Special.mp3
- Hit Parade Number 1 - Classic East African Rumba
- Joburg Style
- Juju Dub and Afro Funk at MIU Oct 07
- Mash It Up May 2007
- Random Africa Vol 1
- Township Grooving

the above are all single mp3's or m4a's, and these two are individually tracked comps:

- African Serenades Vol 14 - Early African Rock and Roll
- African Serenades Vol 29 - Cheeku

Oh lawdy ... going weak at the knees at the prospect of those! Incidentally, might be worth posting on Africambiance as well. I'm sure some of the good people on there would have the Zairean stuff at least.

Also check out Ambiance Congo on WRIR

Gareth, are you willing/ able to share any of these? I've got the Vol 28 (by Cheeku) uploaded and ready to go. I'm sure there's other stuff you might like as well.

I'd be keen to hear any that you can share, Serenades 14, 29, 30 and 31 would probably be top of the list.

hell all of them

PMs from here?

I used to chat to 'Cheeku' on SoulSeek. I invited him to Waxidermy when there was that old thread on African Lps, he shared a bit, but I don't think he stuck around for too long though.

I don't use soulseek much anymore but I wouldn't be surprised if you find him, or a least several of the mixes, on there.

excellent, thanks. can't see a problem with links to the files. we can always slide it into the "charts and reviews" section if we end up with lots of response...

fellow modz, thoughts?
