Description
A selection from the album "Funky Disco Music" released by French Dragon Phénix in 1979 by Afro-disco master Eko Loosebelt from the Republic of Cameroon, Nigeria's eastern neighbor, is now available on Fly By Night Music in the UK! Starting with the title song A1 "Funky Disco Music" which is full of tropical and open feeling, A2 "Ndolo Embe Mulema" is an afro-rock fusion with an impressive hot sound of the horn section, and B1 is a euphoric Afro-disco soul. In addition to "Bowa'a Mba Ngebe", it also includes a remix by Italian beatdown house producer/reeditor Riccio, which is more for floor use, so don't miss this!
Afro disco fresh from 79: Eko Roosevelt Louis's third album Funky Disco Music will go down as one of Cameroon's finest disco LPs. Produced and pressed by French label Dragon Phenix, it's still reasonably easy to track down, too. For a taster, grab three of its tropical charms on this Fly By Night repress: "Funky Disco Music" is an infectious vocal-led cut that's written solely to make people get down, "Ndolo Embe Mulema" struts with much more Afro rock fusion while the harmonies of "Bowa 'a Mba Ngebe" are sweeter than the finest honey you've ever tasted. For contemporary kicks Riccio has expertly touched the title track for a modern dancefloor/DJ friendly punch. Perfect.
