Mogadisco: Dancing Mogadishu (Somalia 1972-1991) (2019)
Another legacy revived by Germany’s Analog Africa who, since 2006, specializes in Seventies and Eighties South American and African music. Omar Shooli’s “Hab Isii (Hug Me)”, Bakaka Band’s “Geesiyada Halgamayow (Brave Fighters)”, and Mukhtar Ramadan Iidi’s “Baayo (Hey Woman)” kicked off our second-annual bonus African music showcase on Omega WUSB. If that wasn’t enough, Iftin Band’s “Sirmaqabe (No Secrets)” gave us a grand old time where its fresh chopped-up beats and electric keys deliver an eerie and laser-line focused gaze straight out of any fancy Somalian ballroom or lounge. We also never forgot the funky “Baayo (Hey Woman)” for its lo-fi clarity and hearty vocal delivery. Let’s see what we can get out of Analog Africa for next year’s showcase.

C Minor
But what if Wilbur was wrong?
If I can listen to the Fifth in the morning
Why shouldn't I?
If I can start the day with A Love Supreme
With Machine Head, with Raga Pilu,
With Warda or Umm
Who says it's too early, too soon?
Haven't I all my 43 years behind me,
Haven't I all my history and yours
And yours, 7.8 billion times over
As plinth, pedestal, stockade and gallows?
I am always in defeat, always reeling from small victories
I am always trying to make sense
And failing
Until A Symphony Of Sorrowful Songs
Or Mogadisco
Or calypso
Or Cantico delle Creature
Or Formulas Fatal To The Flesh
Holds me away from the conflict
Shield-walls me in an alcove of eternity
Until time, decorated with sound
Takes me to where it is timeless
And in time, I am made ready
To step back into time
AM or PM.

Mahmoud Guinia: self-titled debut (1989)
Reading the Arabic on any given vinyl, disc, or cassette cover means it's serious business. It was only two years ago when Omega WUSB had a great concept and decided to compile its first-ever African sounds expo; a result of being fanatics of Brian Shimkowitz' Awesome Tapes From Africa label. Obvious artists such as Hailu Mergia, Fela Kuti, Oum Kassoum, and William Onyeabor along with the African Scream Contest records and Mogadisco: Dancing Mogadishu comprised a substantial deal of that broadcast. Then you have artists like Essaouiran gnawa musician Mahmoud Guinia, master of the sintir / guembri: a three-string log guitar partially covered in animal skin. His deep bass-like strings and tribal backing band brought literal straight-up Moroccan heat with his debut. I agree with Shimkowitz on this one: it's a great stoner record. I envisioned that notion with catchy rhythms, tempo changes, and other instrumental elements producing baking-hot sounds all throughout Guinia's shouts that could jump out of nowhere at any time. Of the cassette's four tracks, "سَاسْتْ دِيمَانْيُو " was the one we went with and stood out as one of the more memorable ones that stayed with us. The end result? The African finds we ended up with gave us some distinct feels we will never forget.

Mogadisco - Dancing Mogadishu - Somalia 1972-1991 LP
The crew at Analog Africa never disappoint, and their latest compilation, out today, is 100% pure gold. After travelling to Somalia and scouring the vaults of Radio Mogadishu, then spending 3 years hunting down the artists and their stories, this album of Somalian funk, disco and weird grooves has finally been released in the West. The slow, slinky funk of Mukhtar Ramadan Iidi’s Baayo is killer, as is the drum machine-heavy reggae of Shimaali & Killer’s Hoobeya. Massive respect to everyone involved, this is amazing.

Mogadisco
Cousas curiosas, en Novembro escoitei aleatoriamente esta canción:
E quedei tan encantado, que foi para o meu mix de Novembro ... Un Jitazo.
E hai uns días sae un enlace no Metafilter (coñecedes o Metafilter, non? pois é un sitio colloudo):
In 2007 John Beadle, digitized a cassette and uploaded MP3s of 'Mystery Somali Funk' (previously) to his Likembe blog. He had been given the tape twenty years earlier by a Somalian student, and Analog Africa founder Samy Ben Redjeb take the reverse path, heading to travel to in Mogadishu in November of 2016 to track down the original music. This lead to his meeting Dur-Dur and hearing the stories behind their fusion of traditional Somali music with whatever rhythms would make people dance (Bandcamp): funk, reggae, soul, disco and New Wave were mixed effortlessly with Banaadiri beats, Daantho and spiritual Saar music. Samy also went through the archives of Radio Muqdisho (Somali and English news), now compiled in Mogadisco: Dancing Mogadishu (Somalia 1972-1991) (Bandcamp).
Analog Africa's journey through Somali cassette and radio archives
E eu dixen ... vou a escoitar o disco ese a ver que tal está, que non teño nen idea de música somalí, e nunca escoitei nada....
Mogadisco - Dancing Mogadishu (Somalia 1972-1991)
E carallo, resulta que o primeiro tema que sae no disco é xustamente a canción que levo escoitando todo Novembro. Vaia coincidencia!
