about

This first track, a rare nugget from the French afrobeat scene, is ideal to dive into a deviant but bright disco atmosphere. The singer, a complete stranger just arrived from his native Cameroun and intent on conquering Parisian discotheques, had the judicious idea to put the arrangements in the hands of his homolog Manu Dibango (not credited). Composed in 1979 by the jazzman JC Messonnier, this well-wrought song was not the work of mere amateurs. All this explains why such an obscure track has everything to make a dancefloor hit, though it never made it to the charts. Out of interest, a 7” by the great afrobeat band Matadi and Kassaby Déhé, was released on that same obscure label, Choc Music.
