Kalita Records release their first in a series of coveted reissues, starting with the three choice cuts from NST Cophie s 1980 private press Ivory Coast Afro-disco album Mon Da Center. After moving to Paris in 1976 and having played with other well-known bands such as N Bamina, Osibisa, and with numerous artists including Jimmy Hyacinthe and Papa Wemba, Mon Da Center was Ernest s first solo album. Recorded at Studio Caroline in Paris s 20th sector over the space of one week, this self-funded ultra-rare album regularly exchanges hands for eye-watering prices. Pretty much unknown except to the most hardened of diggers, Bian Kou , E Clolo and Mioukouna are guaranteed to set any dance floor alight, with hypnotic Afro-disco grooves, killer drums and angelic female vocals.
