bonjour tout le monde!! last time we visited many countries all together likeUsa, UK, Columbia, Philippines, Japan, Fiji, Bahamas, Canada..now our travel begins from Zibabwe with Assagai..here is a review by motown67: Assagai was an Afro-Beat group consisting of South Africans and Nigerians that recorded in England. What I like best about their sound is that they had concise, well structured songs unlike some Afro-Beat groups that composed epic tracks that devolved into extended jam sessions. Telephone Girl makes an excellent beginning with two full measures of open drums before short horn stabs come in on the one. Eventually the vocals and the rest of the band join in. That’s followed by a nice instrumental entitled Akasa that also features an Afro-Beat drum break. The equally funky Cocoa follows. The rest of the album is more Afro-Beat oriented with the laid back Irin Ajolawa and Ayieo comparing well with the more upbeat Beka..Links in comments.. keep listening!!
Assagai/Akasa...
[Edit] i uploaded Assagai - Zimbabwe (@192) & their rare first lp (only 2 songs on it @192)..here is the samples:
Assagai - Zimbabwe (1971) / Barazinbar....
Assagai - rare unrelaised(?) (197x) / Kondo...

Hi there
just found you looking for a decent digital copy of Zimbabwe - my vinyl copy is ready to become an ashtray (as if I would) - any chance of a repost of Zimbabwe?
