    Matata - Independence LP (Record Store Day Black Friday 2021)
    Matata - Independence LP (Record Store Day Black Friday 2021)
    Matata (which means “trouble” in Swahili) was an African funk band who took nightclubs by storm and jammed with some of the biggest giants in soul, jazz and Latin music. The band had its roots in the Congo although it formed in Kenya in the mid-sixties. Matata was based around the famous 'Starlight Club' in Nairobi. The group retained elements of traditional music by incorporating instruments such as the 'ngoma' (a large drum) and an eight stringed guitar-harp called the 'nyatiti'…this brought something different to their style and made for a unique sound. Each of the songwriters sang lead in their native tongues and this meant they used vocals in three African languages (next to the songs sung in English). As the sixties drew to an end Matata (sometimes also known as 'Air Fiesta Matata') were regulars on Kenyan television and enjoyed a national following.In 1971 when the BBC held a competition to find the best band in Africa, Matata submitted a song and came in first. They were sent t…

    History of the Netherlands as a Tax Haven, 1914-1996 (Paperback)
    History of the Netherlands as a Tax Haven, 1914-1996 (Paperback)
    The Dutch tax haven is much older than most would assume and has undergone several stages of development. It arose during World War I, when foreign capital refugees and German companies started to take advantage of existing facilities such as banking secrecy and numbered bank accounts. During the interwar period, the Dutch and Swiss tax havens became the most important in Europe. Due to international tensions and the threat of war a lot of flight capital left the Netherlands, mainly to the United States. That meant the downfall of the Dutch tax haven. Just after World War II, the Dutch government abolished banking secrecy. Therefore, the pre-war tax haven could not be re-established, since it was largely based on secrecy. But through a growing tax treaty network, a generous participation exemption, and attractive tax rulings, the Netherlands was able to develop into one of the most important tax havens for companies. This is the first archive-based study that covers the complete

    Military Commanders of the Baltic States: Esronia, Latvia, Lithuania, 1918-1940 (Paperback)
    Military Commanders of the Baltic States: Esronia, Latvia, Lithuania, 1918-1940 (Paperback)
    The collapse of the Romanov dynasty that had ruled Russia for 300 years created a unique set of circumstances whereby the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which had been part of the Russian Empire, were, in 1918, able to proclaim their independence. This independence was to last only twenty-two years, until 1940, when the Soviet Union occupied all three nations. This book is intended to honor and commemorate the 100th anniversary of the declarations of independence of the Baltic States of Estonia (February 24, 1918), Latvia (November 18, 1918), and Lithuania (February 16, 1918). It provides a brief history of how these nations gained and maintained their independence, and includes biographical information about the senior officers (generals and admirals) of the armed forces during the 1918-1940 period. Forewords to the Latvian and Lithuanian sections of the book were graciously provided by Lieutenant-General Leonīds Kalniņš, the current Commanding General of the Armed

    Tales of Violence (Paperback)
    Tales of Violence (Paperback)
    Although it has long been known that the Indonesian War of Independence was far more violent than generally assumed by the Dutch public, for a long time the tendency to downplay, ignore, or justify the scale and nature of this violence dominated. 'Tales of Violence' examines how politicians and administrators in both the Netherlands and Indonesia have dealt with this large-scale violence and poses painful questions. How were the violence of war and the numerous excesses between 1945-1949 discussed, concealed, passed on, manipulated, and used politically? What did Dutch, colonial, and Indonesian politicians and administrators know about the nature of the actions of their own and enemy troops? Why did investigations into specific scandals grind to a halt or were their outcomes hidden from the public? What did those in charge do with their knowledge and how did communications influence public support for warfare? The authors argue that the way the war in Indonesia has long been viewed has

    Donna Summer - I'm A Rainbow 2-LP Colored Vinyl (Record Store Day Black Friday 2021) LAATSTE STUKS
    Double 180 gm clear vinyl LP pressing. Record Store Day Black Friday 2021 release. It's September 1981 and it's matter of weeks away from the release of I'm A Rainbow, the second album Donna Summer had recorded for Geffen Records, which had been produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. At the time that the album was being recorded, the musical landscape had changed and production techniques were developing further. Geffen also wanted a more R&B-influenced album, despite the album having a more R&B feel than The Wanderer had done. The songs and their lyrical content were very strong and Donna's voice had never sounded better, which was always a tough comparison against previous albums. A decision was taken by the label to withdraw I'm A Rainbow just prior to it's release. David Geffen then brought-in Quincy Jones to produce the next new album 1982's Donna Summer. I'm A Rainbow was eventually issued in 1996, as an 18-track CD, without the usual fanfare that heralded a 'new' Donna S…

    Wegenkaart - landkaart - Stadsplattegrond Montreal & Southern Quebec | ITMB
    Stadsplattegrond van Montreal met register. Op de achterzijde een kaart van het zuiden van Quebec. 1:12,500/1:850,000 on waterproof paper. In this third, updated, edition of Canada's third largest city, we have added a user-friendly bonus. As is common now to most of our city maps, we have included a regional map of the hinterland of the urban area, so buyers won't have to purchase a second map to explore the environs of the city being presented. In the case of Montreal, being in a huge geographic country, this means Southern Quebec which, because of its size, dictates a map of more than one to a million scale. In the European context this would be the equivalent of Paris and all of France as a 'regional' map of the surrounds of Paris - but that's France and this is Canada.   Montreal (or Mont Royale in its original) was a village called Hochelaga when the early French explorers arrived in the early 1600s. They established a trading fort and, generally speaking, maintained good relati…

    After more than 100 years of subjugation by Russia, Finland took advantage of the power vacuum created by the Bolshevik uprising and resulting demise of the royal house of Romanov in 1917 to proclaim its independence. The preservation of this independence was not an easy task. The Finnish military had to fight a civil war against the Reds in 1918, and was again called into action in 1939 at the outbreak of the so-called Winter War, when the Soviet Union invaded Finland, disregarding the provisions of the previously signed Treaty of Tartu. The Winter War lasted only a few months before a peace treaty was signed, but the cost to Finland was the loss of 11% of its territory. It is therefore no surprise that when Germany launched an attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941, Finland saw an opportunity to regain what had been lost and allied itself with Germany. This alliance lasted only until 1944, when Finland, realizing that Germany was going to lose the war and that continuing the fight
