This is the Japanese pressing of "Chicano", the first album by Belgian Afro-funk group Black Blood, released by Japanese fashion brand JUN. A1 is a Swahili-language cover of the single hit "Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki" by French-Belgian composer Daniel Vangarde and Jean Kluger's project Yamasuki, released in 1971. This is a great album with many floor-like Afro-disco and funk songs, I don't know why this album was released by an apparel company that has nothing to do with African music, but Paco Rabanne, a famous French fashion brand, also owned a record label and released a lot of African music, so maybe there was a close relationship between fashion and music at that time.
A1: A.I.E. (a Mwana)
