Bazare D Pablo & Le Nassima Orchestra – Nassima

( Ivory Coast , 1980s , Sodogil Editions )

posted on 07 / 12 / 2025

For today, I’d like to share with you “Nassima“, a deep bouncy minimal syncopated 70s Afro Soukous Soul Synth track from Ivory Coast, taken from the only LP recorded in the early 80s by the mysterious Ivorian composer Bazaré D. Pablo (any informations welcome, as he seemed to be a mysterious character) on the famous record label “Sodogil Eidtions“, and produced by the legendary Beninese composer & musician Gilbert Dossou (better known as “Prince Dgib’s” or just “Dbib’s), who released a couple of crazy rare singles.

Super underground release that deserves to be better & widely more known, so hope you’ll like it – enjoy !
