Disco de Boney M.: “Boonoonoonoos [Bonus Tracks]”

I can't believe I finally got my favorite CD. Off course, at the time I had it, it was on LP. This was in the early 1980s while I was still living in Nigeria. Boney M was so popular!. When I came to the States I left my album and couldn't get it back. This CD, with tracks like African Moon, Ride to Agadir and Breakaway, is my all time favorite. I was disappointed when I came to the States and found out that these guys were not well known. Thanks to internet technology, I now have this CD and will definetly buy more of their their music. I highly reocmmend this CD to anyone that loves music that is heartwarming, melodious, easy to listen with a variation of disco. I wish the Goup well in whatever they are doing these days.. If anyone has information about the group's current activity, please share.

i completely agree with the previous review; when this album was released in 1981 it was a commercial failure and boney m. were history, however it is a very good album; like abba's 'the visitors', the original formation's swansong is the group's most mature and engaged collection to date; almost every song here features mature lyrics which are either socially or historically aware; only 'sad movies' is a throwaway and somewhat out of place, the rest is beautifully performed; a personal favourite is 'jimmy'

Having this cd in my music collection at this moment in time, fills my heart with great joy, especially after several years of relentless search for it. I grew up in a household where the songs of 'Boney M' were constantly played and danced to, in Nigeria. I was, to say the least, very shocked and disappointed when I realized that this group was very unpopular in the United States. Hmm! I bet most of my American friends have not heard such beautiful songs as 'Malaika' 'Sad Movies' and my most favorite 'Consuela Bias'in their entire lives before. Thanks to the internet for hooking me up with this evergreen piece of music.
