Mind-blowing Afro soul music from Ivory Coast, served up by Deke Tom Dollard, an obscure artist who only recorded two albums in 1979 and 1981, but also created an original funky fusion with the Bété language. A selection of four amazing tracks recorded in Abidjan on two different records label called War Records and As Records. The music here is a mixture of funk with heavy basslines, traditional percussions, funky guitar riffs, nice horns section, and lyrics in Beté. The song "Demonde" is inspired by harmonies of the famous "Dance To The Drummer Beat" by Herman Kelly. Those two rare records were found by Afrobrazilero, aka Djamel Hammadi, and never appeared on the vinyl market. It's almost impossible to get information about this singer and composer, or the musicians involved in the recording sessions. Most of the recording sessions were lost by the labels Hot Casa licensed the tracks with here. Unique! A must have for all the Afro funk lovers. Remastered by The Carvery.
