Henri Guedon – Vulcano (Martinique, 1974, Epic)

For today, I wanted to share with you “Vulcano“, my all time favourite West Indian Guaguanco track, taken from the legendary “Cosmozouk Percussion” album recorded in 1974 by the martinican musician & painter Henri Guedon.

That record never leaves my DJ bag, each track of this LP is a dancefloor burner – Enjoy !

Les Rapaces – Journée Dans Mon Pays (Comoros, 1980, Piros)

Les Rapaces” was one of the few bands from Mayotte (one of Comoros archipelago islands, in the Indian Ocean), whose musical scene is too little known.

They released one album and a few singles at the end of the 70s, and I decided to share with you for today “Journée Dans Mon Pays“, a tropical uptempo blend of Cadence & N’Gondro (Comorian musical style), personal favourite and that never leaves my DJ bag – Enjoy !
