this is a rare gem of a record from fantastic soul band the soul kids stemming from the democratic republic of congo, including covers of james brown & the mighty flames hit singles -lickin stick- (1968), -papa s got a brand new bag- (1965), wilson pickett’s -hey jude- and a french vocal version of otis redding’s soul hit -respect -. this amazing young band, which released only four 7inch singles and one album, is a great example of the influence of soul music and french pop bridging to the new afro soul scene that the musicians of kinshasa were involved in during the time of post-independence. ngoma was one of the first record labels intent on providing local artists recordings from both sides of the congo river to the people of the drc and west africa. created in 1948 by a greek man by the name of nicolas jeronimidis, the ngoma label was active through 1968, pressed in france until 1971, with a tremendous catalogue, including this historical and essential soul masterpiece!

sensual and primitive, chante afrique ep is perfectly encloses the most acid house digressions and its deepest roots. a work that well combines past, present and future. all the genius of the legendary paul johnson in three original mixes and the -wild circus mix- of chante afrique track by lello di franco aka l.d.f., an introspective and sophisticated remake. a must have!

the 3rd lp in the series air afrique records presents is a journey which leads more to club-tracks. it starts with an uprising afro-track performed by the camroun rapper the tale (a.k.a. zeegee) in pidgin english. the last track of the a side is a tribute to the fast techno-like style funana which is very popular on cabo verde islands. the b-side is going straight into tropical bass and ends with an pure simple straight foreward electro-tech track.

the second lp in the series air afrique records presents takes us into more electronic fields. mid-tempo house songs mixed with different elements like samples from all over the world or acoustic instruments and some weird electronic sounds create a very unique sound.

-meet tino baroza- is an album in which the virtuose guitar style of the cameroun guitar player tino baroza is mixed with other musical influences. it s a journey between traditional african music, like soukouss, coupé décalé, or ndombolo with more europe

eine geheimnisvolle veröffentlichung, nicht nur wegen ihres einzigartigen expressiven stils, sondern auch, weil nicht einmal bekannt ist, wann sie ursprünglich aufgenommen wurde, geschweige denn, wann sie veröffentlicht wurde. laut dem eigentümer des gemeinnützigen studio piccolo, vincent bruley, könnte es in den 70er jahren aufgenommen und schließlich anfang der 90er jahre veröffentlicht worden sein, also irgendwann während der zeit, in der nilton castro in paris musik für zeitgenössische tanzkurse machte (die oft von seiner frau geleitet wurden). dieses album war ursprünglich für die begleitung von tänzern im unterricht gedacht, wobei der schwerpunkt auf rhythmus und koordination lag.
