Description
This new Oriki Music compilation includes serious 1970’s Afro dancefloor heat – an essential tip for Afrofunk and Tropical music revival aficionados. Vinyl diggers can finally play some of Ivory Coast’s hardest to find deep funk, Afrobeat, Manding and Tropical rhythm tunes recorded by legends such as Moussa Doumbia, De Frank Jr, and Francis Kingsley.
The liner notes focus on the original label history, Société Ivoirienne du disque, based on interviews with the producer. Original unreleased pictures of the artists and 1970’s Abidjan city, a great artwork, and a limited press gatefold double LP make it a beautiful collectible object. Also available as a gatefold double vinyl LP.
Compiled by pioneer African music digger and respected deejay Greg de Villanova, a legend among Afro/Tropical music collectors and deejays, it signs the great return of the dormant French record label, which released such wonders as Orchestra Baobab’s A Night At Club Baobab or Moussa Doumbia’s Keleya.
