For today, I wanted to share with you “Love Tones“, an explosive Afro Disco Boogie from Cameroun with crazy synth sounds & powerful horns, taken from a single recorded in the late 70s in Paris (France) by the Robert Nkwitchoua, an obscure Cameroonian composer & musician who recorded three singles before disappearing in Paris in the early 80s.

Produced by the legendary producer Gilles Sala, this single includes some of the best Paris-based Cameroonian musicians of that era, such as Toto Guillaume & Vicky Edimo :

Toto Guillaume : Arrangements, Lead Guitar ;

Francois Amadou Corea : Rhythm Guitar ;

Robert Nkwitchoua : Author, composer ;

Bebe, Esther, Florence : Backing Vocals ;

Vicky Edimo : Bass Guitar ;

Patrick Francfort : Drums ;

Devastating dance floor tool when I play it in clubs, hope you’ll like it – Enjoy !

Following this former post, I would like to share with you “Muwaso Mwa Longe“, an uplifting instant feel-good frantic Afro Disco Soul Funk track with Makossa flavors, taken from one of the 1st albums recorded by the mythical Cameroonian band “Les Black Styl” the mythical Cameroonian band “Les Black Styl”.

This band, originally from the city of Douala, included the finest musicians of that era such as Toto Guillaume, Emile Kangue, Guy Lobe & Mouelle Jean and was leaded by the legendary composer & musician Nkotti François.
