Following this previous post, I wanted to share with you for today “Eyeo Me Ndi“, a bouncy frantic Afro Disco Funk Makossa track, taken from one of the first LP (probably the third ?) from the mythical Cameroonian band “Les Black Styl” from the city of Douala, that included the finest musicians of that era such as Toto Guillaume, Emile Kangue, Guy Lobe & Mouelle Jean and leaded by the legendary composer & musician Nkotti François.

Recorded in Paris (France) in the early 80s, this album is one of their hardest to find – Personal dance floor filler, hope you’ll enjoy !
