OLD MIX TAPE POST-PUNK - AFRICAN BAND LIVE
Some 33 years ago somebody came to my house to buy some weed and he left a huge back full of tapes at my place. Never saw the guy again and this is one of those tapes, lots of old obscure post-punk and a live concert from some African band, probably recorded from Dutch radio. Would love to know who the first band is, I recognize the girl singing but really don't remember who they were, first was thinking Slafelose Nachte but I don't think so....
