Several mysteries were hanging over Pop Makossa, Analog Africa?s explosive new excavation of funk, disco and Makossa sounds from Cameroon.
What had happened to Bill Loko, the teenage super-star whose monster hit ?Nen Lambo? caused such a sensation that he was forced to flee to the other side of the world? How did bandleader Eko Roosevelt go from Cameroonian prodigy to chief of an idyllic seaside village? And who exactly was Mystic Djim, the dreadlocked producer and mercurial hit-maker whose wizardry on a simple home four-track recorder could outshine even the mighty studios of Cameroon?s National Radio station?
The Makossa adventure had started in 2009 when label founder Samy Ben Redjeb first travelled to Cameroon for an initial assessment of the musical situation of the country and had returned with a compilation that was patiently brewing and waiting for the right time to be explored.
?Le coup de grace? was infringed when DJ and music producer Déni Shain was then dispatched to Cameroon to finalise the project, license the songs, scan pictures, interviews the artists and remove the question marks hanging over our heads. His journey from the port city of Douala to the capital of Yaoundé put him in contact with the lives and stories of many of the musicians who had shaped the sound of Cameroon?s dance music in its most fertile decade.
Indeed, all the tracks on Pop Makossa are a revelation. The beat that holds everything together has its origins in the folklore rhythms of the Sawa people; Ambassey, Bolobo, Assiko and Essewé, a traditional funeral dance;
But it wasn?t until this rhythm arrived in the cities of Cameroon and collided with Congolese Rumba, Merengue High-Life, and, later, Funk and Disco ? that modern makossa was born.
Makossa was successful in part because it was so adaptable. Some of the greatest makossa hits incorporated the electrifying guitars and tight grooves of funk, while others were laced with | | | No. of tracks: |
