Jazz Krontjong
“One of my favorites, I found it in 2014. Amazing instrumental Krontjong from Indonesia with vibraphone “a la Mulatu”. I hope we can feature more Asian tropical music mixes from Japan, Okinawa, Thailand, Indonesia or Vietnam on our Soul Bonanza website in 2015.”
Ayalew Mesfin
Ewedish Neber
“Ayalew Mesfin is always outrageous. Here is another rare and super heavy ethio funk tune by the master, backed by the Black Lion Band. I actually got this 4 years ago but never got tired of it.”
Sir Victor Uwaifo & His Titibitis
Sakpaide No.2
“ I recently had a party with DJ Frank “Voodoo Funk” Gossner in Tokyo. He played loads of funky highlife from Benin City, Nigeria called Edo Funk and it blew my mind. How should we call this tune? Edo Reggae? This killer LP also contains the famous Sofrito classic “Ohue”.”
Ramiro Beltran y Su Grupo
Cabo E
“Heavy afro-colombian sound a la Los Soneros De Gamero. Savage, Infectious bassline!”
Tumaini Choir A.K. Israel
Hindi Ni Nginyu
“Massive Kenyan gospel sound. A traditional Kukuyu choir but it’s very fresh and groovy. Can’t wait for the next Kenya Special compilation.”
Thanks for this Hide, I need that Jazz Krontjong tune, wicked!

Glad you like the Jazz Krontjong track. I’ll try to find it for you!
