Vintage OK Jazz recordings to mark 25th anniversary
« on: October 14, 2014, 09:54:40 am »
Last Sunday it was 25 years ago that Grand Maître Franco Luambo Makiadi passed away. Here is a blog that commemorates his death with 25 previously unknown OK Jazz tunes from the late '50s.
Listen to Vicky, Edo, Celestin, Isaac, Brazzos, Bokelo and of course the man himself, in the days when they were still aspiring young musicians and their music was pressed on crackling 78 rpm shellac - 25 gems to mark 25 years.
We all miss Franco, but listening to his music can make you forget he is no longer with us. Enjoy!

Sorry, the link somehow failed to materialise. I've edited it in again.

I think this is a difference in generations:  Most of the DJs today were only small children or weren't even born when the original versions of classic makossa (or rumba, or benga, or (fill in the blank) style were popular).  In other words, they don't have an appreciation of the cultural context of this music.  I'm with you.  I would much prefer to hear the original versions of this music but, in fairness to the DJs, most of the people they play music for are younger than me and just see this music as the music of their parents (even grandparents) now.
