Exotique Belgique

 Monsieur Maurice presents with pride, and somewhat apprehensive, the first volume of a compilation of Belgian Exotica. To hear the words "Belgium" and "Exotic" in one and the same sentence seems already to be a 'contradictio in terminis', but this compilation will prove you otherwise. I hope...

Tracks

01 Jungle - Roger Mores
02 Babalu - Nico Gomez
03 Bangala - Bun Hunga & His Combo
04 African Dance - Jack Sels
05 Scarabee - Andre Brasseur
06 Baia - The Jokers
07 Jane La Tarzane - Annie Cordy
08 Eso Es El Amor - John Evans and the Big Band
09 Mamadu - Ruben Calzado
10 Jungle Drums - Don Catelli & The All Stars
11 Het Lied Van Lima - La Esterella
12 Bali Ha'I - The Waikikis
13 Stranger In Paradise - Toots Thielemans
14 Quiet Village - Francis Bay And His Orchestra
15 Remember Boa Boa - The Waikikis
16 Uele  - The Kili Jack's
17 Jungle  - Les Dorians
18 Tabou - The Jokers
19 Kuku Yango - The Ruby's

Inside the file you will find 19 Exotic gems that will transport you to the depts of a savage wilderness of worlds unknown. There will be roars and cries of exotic species. There will be songs, sung in languages you've never heard before... Do you dare to venture there ?

I've added a little booklet with info on the featured artists. You can find that in the Cover folder.

Enjoy !

Tikala malamu.

Monsieur Maurice took a dive into the Belgian Music Scene and dug up some Belgian Beauties. Some well known. Some more obscure. The lineup is a little bit of everything, just like Belgium... Some Prog Rock, some Beat, some Folky tunes, even some Library music. I've also added a little Bio info on every artist in a little booklet.
