Info:

Official Repress On 12inch Of These Sought After Charly Kingson Tunes. The Label Says: Charly Kingson, (ps. For Charlie Kingue Soppo) Is A Legend Of Afro-funk Who Managed To Shake The Entire Continent Up With His Infamous 1978 Lp, Born In Africa. Often Forgotten When Conversations Turn To Afro-dance, And The Likes Of Tony Allen Or Fela Kuti, He Has Been An Incredible Source Of Inspiration To Many Musicians Exploring The Funkier Side Of Jazz-dance, And This Album Itself Goes Way Beyond Any Traditional Notion Of Tropical Discotheque. -born In African- Itself Is A Funky Groover For The Dancefloor And Here Is The Original 1982 Remix, Made By Dutch Legendary Percussionist Eddie Conard Available Again, Featuring Nimele Bolo On The Flip-side. Released In 1982 On Ariola/fleet, But Also Pressed On The Original Fleet Label. The Latter (remarkably With Identical Catalog-number) Never Saw Daylight. But, We Got Them All! All In All, This Hard To Find 12 Inch (at Discogs Copies On The Ariola/fleet Label Go For Around 250 Euro) Was Recently Re-discovered, And Now You Can Finally Enjoy It Again
