Here is a collection of tracks that fit the kind of dance sound I'm playing out at my transglobal express nights. The music come from a few different countries and most of it dates from the late 60s into the 70s. What appeals is the sense of a restless energy and an effortless way with rhythm.

Shaking stuff! Is the Kulengue track at the right speed? Hmmm I guess it is all about the manic and falsetto - I would love to see those languorous Berliners dancing to your Transglobal Nights...
