I am a bit late finding your blog but thought i might leave a message in case you can help. i lived in wilberforce, freetown during early to mid 70′s with my mum and 2 sisters.We are from melbourne, Australia and my mum has some cassettes recorded of local music but they are not labeled and are now practically unplayable. some bands i can remember are afro national, sabanoh(?), and in particular… rokel river boys, which i cannot find anywhere. Any information on where to find them would be highly appreciated. thank you

Its great to see efforts being made to assemble as much of the output of Sierra Leone’s greatest maringa musician as possible. Now that circumstances have made large numbers of us Sierra Leoneans permanent exiles,such projects would be highly appreciated. I wonder whether,in he same vein, efforts could be madeto put together the original music of not just Ebenezar Calendar but also of S E Rogie and later groups like Afro National. Any hope?
By the way, some Calendar music can be obtained at ‘honest jon’s.com’; type in ‘marvellous boy’ to access his collection of some lovely music from West Africa of that same period.

Where can i get the Wolfgang Bender CD posted above? The listing covers a lot of very good and unforgettable music of that period.
Please provide me with more information with regards obtaining early “pop” music from Sierra Leone.
