257: Jammin' with Stevie, part 2

Hi!
Today a joyous tribute to Stevie Wonder...
While compiling this enormous batch of his covers,
I had much help from all the usual suspects & fellow bloggers,
for who my respect is eternally big & everlasting!
A global thank you to all involved,
I guess you know by now who you are [:-)
-
Oh, btw, the Hugo Montenegro 1974 album is called:
"Hugo in Wonder-land" and is completely mad
...

ENJOY!

255: Africa Calling, vol.4

Hi.
Today a fresh part of my Africa Calling posts...
The first 3 (if you missed those by accident)
can be found here (1), here (2), and here (3).
I also did some sort of African Wah-Wah special once,
that you can digest here :-)
-
What can I say?
When I first heard one of Fela's albums
with that great Wall Of Horns, I was totally blown away!
Every other album I heard IS kinda more of the same,
but that's just how I like it!
His legacy continues by his sons Seun & Femi,
though for me pops was the real thing...
Or the time I saw King Sunny Ade live at North Sea Jazz
in the Hague, I danced off my pants to those Telecasters
scattering away inbetween the percussion and the sweet
african queens backing up the lines Synchro System :-)

Aaah, sweet memories!
