A real legend of the game! Jean Philippe Marthély has a huge discography, and since 1981 has been part of the legendary zouk band Kassav'!

The influence of this super-group on music not only in the Caribbean, but also across West Africa and beyond cannot be overstated. The pioneering collective of incredible Antillean musicians basically founded the zouk genre, and Jean Philippe has been a choice vocalist for decades.

This edit I dedicate to my grandmother Lulu. With the title and vocals to me sounding like "To Lulu" especially in the call response chorus, this was immediately the first thought that came to mind. Just like this track she had incredible positive energy and was a force to be reckoned with, may she rest in peace. Thank you to Hunee for the continued inspiration!

I hope you like it - as always if you're reading this and listening to the track.. a huge thank you to you all x

A marvellous piece of makossa from 1988. Charlotte Mbango's amazing vocals carry the track along with hypnotic guitar riffs, baselines and euphoric horns. Some sections have been cut as they wander into happy soukous territory, whereas this track shines best when it's deep and bittersweet in my opinion. Hope you enjoy!

Charlotte Mbango - Konkai Makossa (JOSH FB / Discothèque Tropicale Edit)

A litte edit of this fantastic disco interpretation of Bolero. Extended and spiced up by the voice of the late great Hans Villius to add to the histotical feel. If you are in Stockholm the 2 of august, join the History disco party in the woods!

A quick edit of this fantastic track from Anoman Brouh Felix:-). Parts of the housy beat i have added is from Dj gregorys "Damelo". If you understand the lyrics please comment and make a translation. I have cut away big parts of it so im not sure it makes sense anymore. Hope you like it!
