Description

The 4th volume in this popular African series focuses on funky disco flavor with songs by TALA A.M., EKO, UTA BELLA, CHARLY KINGSON, MANU DIBANGO, KEMAYO & K. SYSTEM, MOMO JOSEPH, JAKE SOLLO, PIERRE DIDY TCHAKOUNTE, and THE MONSTARS.

Your flight opens with a punchy disco funk assault from Paris based Cameroonian Tala AM. Here with his drive bass and guitar funk riff 1981 stomper "Get Up Tchmassi". Next up and staying with the Cameroonian connection is Eko with "Bowaa Mba Ngebe". The lyrics talk of accomplishing the things in life for your family and yourself. The sweeping strings and gloriously uplifting music matching the sentiments of the words perfectly. Uta Bella began singing in the 60's and by the time disco hit in the 70's she was already established a singer in her native Cameroon, here the locked on groove of "Nassa Nassa" is a perfect snapshot of the sound and the African disco times.
