It was re-released in '88 by WOMAD on the LP "Nalilia Mwana" and credited (incorrectly) to Remmy Ongala & Orchestra Super Matimila). Since you've mentioned it I really should insert a note in the discography clarifying the matter!<BR/><BR/>BTW, I wonder why WOMAD or Realworld or whoever has never issued that great album in CD?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23453647.post-9964312517436427002007-01-26T14:32:00.000+00:002007-01-26T14:32:00.000+00:00Daan it comes from the original cassette..the cove...Daan it comes from the original cassette..the cover of which is reporduced here (hopefully)<br />[img]http://www.matsuli.wrongbanana.com/Makassy.jpg[/img]matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14742182508844340006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23453647.post-63086696345916904822007-01-25T22:33:00.000+00:002007-01-25T22:33:00.000+00:00Despite the crap recording quality, I prefer these...Despite the crap recording quality, I prefer these recordings to the more "sanitised" Virgin sessions. Thanks for posting these impossible to find gems! Question for you though, Matt: where did you find Siku ya Kufa? I'd not heard it before and it sounds like a Remmy Ongala composition, although it was evidently recorded with Makassy. The only reference to it I could find was in Prof. Endo's <a href="http://biochem.chem.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~endo/EAOngala.html">discography</a> (apparently re-recorded in 1988).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23453647.post-3290279946934435802007-01-19T17:38:00.000+00:002007-01-19T17:38:00.000+00:00What can I say other than fantastic!

I could never understand why they stopped recording or performing this terrefic music.Was totally swept away by the Great Guitar, Bass and lovely rhytms on Agwaya.<br />Never knew about these radio recordings before and it's awesome to now have both recordings! ( the other still available through sterns music - Legends of east africa) Big Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23453647.post-33672221119474406832007-01-15T06:20:00.000+00:002007-01-15T06:20:00.000+00:00thanks once again Matt - great recording! come on ...thanks once again Matt - great recording! come on people, dig out those vinyl's and get them to this site!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23453647.post-7932696146541328012007-01-14T17:25:00.000+00:002007-01-14T17:25:00.000+00:00Douglas at African Ambiance Forum wonders if the b...Douglas at African Ambiance Forum wonders if the band really did re-locate to Kenya. We know that they got a deal with AIT Records to distribute and release their material in Kenya, we also know that they recorded the basic tracks for the Agwaya LP in Kenya. If anyone can provide some light on this then we can clear up this little point. In the mean-time, between time...enjoy the rumbamatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14742182508844340006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23453647.post-606028641763858312007-01-14T09:44:00.000+00:002007-01-14T09:44:00.000+00:00Hello,
