For today, I wanted to share with you “Farafin’A“, a minimal deep bouncy trippy Afro Soul Funk Lo-Fi track with crazy Synth parts a la Onyeabor, taken from the sole & only album auto produced in the 80s by the Burkinabe composer & musician Kaboré Dieudonné Parfait, recorded & self-released in Paris (France) in the 80s.

Including the legendary Congolese musician Théo Blaise Kounkou, it also features :

Kaboré Dieudonné Parfait : Composition, Vocals, Arrangements, Effects, Rhythm Guitar ;

Gilbert Guillaume : Rhythm Guitar ;

Abdoulaye Soumaré : Percussion ;

Joe Harycot : Music Director, Piano, Synthesizer ;

Sylvain Laison : Bass Guitar ;

Highly recommended LP that includes plenty of great tracks, really hard to find – Hope you’ll like it, enjoy !

For today, I wanted to share with you “Diongoma“, a mesmerizing Afro Synth Funk Soul track from West Africa, composed by the mythical Senegalese musician “Youssou Madjiguène Ndour” and former singer of legendary African bands such as “Etoile de Dakar” or “Super Orchestre Rail Band du Buffet Hotel de la Gare de Bamako”.

This album was the first released by the artist out of Africa (it was recorded & mixed at the “Family Sound” recording studio in Paris in 1983 by Abdoulaye Soumare & Amadou Doukoure), and features great African & Caribbean musicians such as Moussa Cissokho, François N’Guessan, Roger Mballa, Roland Louis & Bruce Henderson.
