Sonodisc catalogue will be available again?

This is the news I've got over the weekend:

Hi, We recently took over running Sono disc and we reading a ware house of documents about African music.I am sure we will have the answers of your missing releases soon! The tapes too. Check www.sonodisc.net – we will be adding catalogs to it weekly.
JP John Pitcher, MRC

Buried in the depths of our Paris storage facility we are pleased to announce we have started cataloguing, digesting and digitizing the mountain of tapes, stampers, matrices and masters from the Sonodisc, Fonior, Disques Esperance, Decca, Polygram, Fiesta and related labels catalog.
We have taken a photograph of each tape in our possession and are busy cataloguing. masters from Tabu or Dr Nico, dusty tapes from Grand Kalle or Koffi Olomide, a matrice from Franco, reels from OK Jazz or Papa Wemba, … history in our hands indeed.
We are currently seeking experts in the field who wish to assist us in the cataloguing of this large slice of Afro French audio history.

Let's what's going to happen.

Orchestre Top Forum - Matata (ed. Ntimbo ET 001) - Orchestre Sentima - Mama (ed. Ntimbo ET 003)

As I'm a big fan of Nguashi I'm happy to share two singles here from 1977 when he started his own label in Kenya.

NT 003 with "Mama" was reissued on LP together with his hit "Shauri Yako" in 1983. My copy has some bad scratches on side 2. So I've added an cleaned version. A better one you can find over at Ghostcapital, who recently shared this LP in flac format.

A discography on Nguashi N'timbo you can find here.

Orchestre Bella-Bella (African 90.553)

For the weekend we have one more African single, Verckys sax starts late but full of dynamite.

Enjoy this fine single.

Les Bantous de la Capitale (Fiesta 360.118)

This record is part of the African 360 series with another label. This LP was shared by Moos two years ago, but as his DL link is still dead I decided to share it for the new ones among us with a rip of my copy.

Les Bantous are good as ever.

Enjoy! (Link in the comments)

Orchestre Los Angel (African 90.048)

Today we have a single from the African label, released in 1966. Orchestre Los Angel is mentionel in Gary Stewart's book: we can read that it was lead by Albert Missia who called himself Robin. There are two tracks on L'Afrique Danse Vol. 2 as well as on Vol. 3.

They continued in the early 70s as Surprise Los Angel. Some more singles apeared on the Fiesta label. Discography at Jama Rico.

Here are two more tracks. Enjoy!

African Hits Vol. V

Today we come with Vol. 5 of the African Hits tape series issued on the Rwandan market in the mid 1980s. This one has more music from Cameroun and some Zouk. So please enjoy!

Orchestre African Jazz (Decca 71.070)

An early African Jazz single with a Merengue credited to Nico and - yes: "The Last Dance" on the flip side.

The quailty is low but as I haven't seen this single in Alastair Johnston's discography, I decides to share it here. Maybe it's been released under another title as there are several Merengues in the list?!

Have a listen!
