Following on from coming42 posting Portuguese Love by Teena Marie here is the other version that I use to play often back in the noughties down at the Northern Lights.

Bah Samba - Portuguese Love



Alice Russell is on vocals.
In early 1996 Julian Bendall, Kevin Alexander and Geoff Holroyd (the surnames of which make up the Bah) formed a loose group of naturally talented musicians to play live and maybe record a few songs whilst experimenting with the fusion of traditional musicianship, dance, and modern recording techniques at Midi. In fact, I knew Julian well as he also drank at The Evening Star pub, my local in Brighton.

This track was on their 2005 album Bah Samba 4 and the track was on single as well and 12" with remixes including Jazzanova's version.

They also did this one with Roy Ayers no less - and I had that direct from Julian one day straight after the pressing was done. Yep, hot of the press!

Here is another blast from the past - another gig at the Northern Lights from June 2012, and I noted in my blog that " there were still problems with the decks and they had two cartridges but only one was viable, and thus I was using one turntable and the laptop in combination", although normally I would be using two decks.

So here are four tunes from that night which were vinyl - all 7 inch 45s except for the Triste Janeiro as I found a repress of the LP.

Andy Williams - House of Bamboo




Sinto - Man On The Bank



Triste Janero - In The Garden



Sapo - Been Had



ENJOY

It has been a lackadaisical nonchalant day that needs sprucing up or even spicing up. So five more blasts from my DJ past.
