This is a selection of the 10 vinyl records I bought from the Adom record store, smack bam in the middle of the extremely busy downtown market. The selection the friendly owner dug out for us consisted mainly of US soul, funk, disco and hiphop, but also included a fair amount of music from the whole of west africa and beyond! Of course that's what i was after, but i couldn't resist to buy that sugarhill EP, too. what struck me most was not only the diversity in providence and style, but also the high amount of political consciousness and issues. As most of the records bear labels of record stores in the US, my theory is that the whole collection belonged to one DJ, probabyl of african descent, who bought them in the US of A and, literally, brought them back home, leaving them to Adom - hopfully for a good price. Enjoy these much travelled gems. To be continued!
