SHARE: Karimu - Blackmail (1984) (aka Lelo / 39 Spies)
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2016 4:14 pmHey everyone,
This is an album I'm really excited to share, and it's taken me forever to track down. If you're familiar with some of my earlier posts, I'm really into Lelo & The Levants. I shared their album a few years ago. Here's a link to their discogs: http://www.discogs.com/artist/333283-Lelo-Danino
One of my favorite tracks
Lelo - I'm The Suicide (1981)
Here's a link to their album with bonus tracks
Lelo - Lelo (1981)

THEN I came about 39 Spies, the same band as Lelo & The Levants, but with a new name. Here's a track
39 Spies - Where Do We Go Now (1984)
If you missed it, I tracked down their album from 1984 called Doomandance and shared it here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=35193
Well, FINALLY, I'm happy to say I tracked down the THIRD incarnation of this band. They changed their name once again to Karimu and released another great album in 1984. This one doesn't come with any bonus tracks, I'm afraid. From what I can tell, only one 7" was released from this album ("Don't Dig Too Deep" with "Sugar Daddy" on the flip, both album versions) but that doesn't detract from it being a wonderful and rare synthpop album. Karimu (like Lelo & The Levants, and 39 Spies) were Aurielo Danino (aka Lelo), Charlie Chiappe, and Oswin Falquero. Blackmail was released in Spain on CFE records in 1984. Here's one of my favorite tracks from the album:
Karimu - Whisper Whisper (1984)
Karimu - Blackmail (1984)
1. Man Friday
2. Whisper Whisper
3. Don't Dig Too Deep
4. Sugar Daddy
5. Voodoo
6. Me Tarzan You Jane
7. Communication
8. It Would Take A Miracle
9. No Fun Holiday
10. Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

There are a couple of stray releases from these guys I'm planning on tracking down... a single released under the name Karimu in 1988 (discogs tells me it at least features Oswin Falquero) and some soundtrack work, but I think this is the last full new wave album these guys put out. I hope I'm wrong. I've been wrong before. Enjoy!
