CONGO JAZZ - BLUE FLAMINGO
( Excel96202 )



Like David Livingstone in the nineteenth century discovered the inland of dark Africa, Ziya Ertekin, aka Blue Flamingo, introduces us to still undiscovered treasures of long gone times on vulnerable 78-rpm records. In his latest mix, Congo Jazz, he tells about the popularity of Cuban music in the centre of Africa, jungle music as critics called it years ago and about the birth of gospel music thanks to Tommy A. Dorsey. In the first mix he offers some catching dance music from the 1930s: Jungle Crawl
