Following to this former article, I wanted to share with you for today, I wanted to share with you “Deliver Me“, a splendid bewitching Island Soul track from Guadeloupe (French West Indies) with Jazz flavors, taken from the first album of the Guadeloupean pianist, composer & arranger Roland Louis, and driven by Jocelyne Beroard’s angel voice (singer of the mythical West Indian band Kassav).

This now cult & ultra hard to find album includes some of the best musicians of that era from the French West Indies & France, such as :

Roland Louis : Keyboards ;

Jocelyne Beroard (from the band “Kassav”) : Vocals ;

Jean-Pierre Coco (from the band “Bozambo”) : Percussion ;

Serge Marne (from the band “Laser”) : Drums ;

Julien Tarquin : Bass, Vocals ;

Henry Bedin : Guitar ;

Cherry on the cake : this gorgeous artwork painted credited as from a mysterious “Joyce”… Maybe from Jocelyne Beroard herself ?

Hope you’ll like this new unearthed musical gem, Enjoy !

For today, I wanted to share with you “Diongoma“, a mesmerizing Afro Synth Funk Soul track from West Africa, composed by the mythical Senegalese musician “Youssou Madjiguène Ndour” and former singer of legendary African bands such as “Etoile de Dakar” or “Super Orchestre Rail Band du Buffet Hotel de la Gare de Bamako”.

This album was the first released by the artist out of Africa (it was recorded & mixed at the “Family Sound” recording studio in Paris in 1983 by Abdoulaye Soumare & Amadou Doukoure), and features great African & Caribbean musicians such as Moussa Cissokho, François N’Guessan, Roger Mballa, Roland Louis & Bruce Henderson.
