Kongas
Africanism
Crocos Records (France) 1977
733 401 (LP)
sleeve : VG (RW, SPSE: 7cm spine split, wear on sides/corners)
media : EX-/VG+ (slight surface noise from light scuffs/some sections with light surface noise)
This is the second album by Afro-disco group Kongas, released in 1977, and produced by the French disco scene's key figures, Cerrone and Don Ray. Side A features two percussive rocking disco tracks in a medley format, composed of six parts. The two tracks on side B are particularly noteworthy: B1 is a mid-tempo ethnic disco groove that blends electronic phrases (which Cerrone would frequently use in his soundtrack album "Brigade Mondaine" released the following year) with a Mexican flair reminiscent of Spain's Barrabas; B2 is a classic track with a pleasant percussion rhythm intertwined with lively cutting guitar and an impressive synth phrase. Both are highly recommended.
B1: Tatoo Woman
B2: Dr Doo-Dah
