From the 1995 album "Volume 2 - Tierra Tradicional"
Africando represents a cross-cultural collaboration between top-ranked, New York-based, Latin musicians and African vocalists. The project was formed in 1990 and it united salsa musicians with Senegalese vocalists. Musicians from other African countries were later included under the name Africando All Stars. While lyrics are sung in Yoruba, Wolof, Mandigo and French, the group's sizzling-hot dance rhythms blend classic mambo, Cuban son and mandigo traditions. Africando was initially drawn together by producers Ibrahima Sylba and Boncana Maiga. The group's debut album, Trovodor, released in 1993, featured the vocals of West Senegalese singers Pape Seck, Medoune Diallo and Nicolas Manheim. Although Seck passed away shortly after the album's release, the band continued to grow. By the time that they recorded their second album, Tierra Tradicional, released in 1995, the group's vocals were shared by Tabu Ley Rochereau of Zaire, Bambino Diabete of Guinea, Gnonnas Pedro of Benin and original vocalist, Diallo.
"Moliendo Café" is a song by Venezuelan composer Hugo Blanco. It was composed in 1958, when Blanco was 18 years old. Blanco's version hit #1 in Argentina in 1961.
The story goes that Blanco's uncle, Jose Manzo Perroni, helped him compose it. In later years, Perroni claimed that he created the melody and sued his nephew.
The first recording of "Moliendo Café" was made by Mario Suárez. At present, the song has more than 800 versions in many languages. In Japan, the song's title was "Coffe Rumba".
In Indonesia, the song's title was Kopi Dangdut and was a mega hit song of 1991 in Indonesia
