For today, I’d like to share with you “Mande Moin On Lajan, Pa Mande Moin Za Fe An Moin (My Business)“, an instant feel-good Island Boogie Zouk Funk from the French West Indies, taken from the 2nd and last album of “The Group NSI“, a band composed by the biggest figures of Guadeloupe & Martinique’s music of this era such as the brothers Georges & Pierre-Edouard Decimus (founder of the mythical “Kassav” band, that managed to blend all of the Caribbean musical influences) & members of the famous Desvarieux family.
The band was composed with :
Georges & Pierre-Edouard Decimus : Bass, Synthesizer, Guitar, Chorus, Handclaps, Production ;
Cida Desvarieux, Freddy Marshall, Marie Dominique, Patricia Erambert : Chorus ;
Gervais Nerva, Victorius Masse, Malachi Thompson : Trumpet ;
Charles Gassette, Gustave-Marie Catin : Saxophone ;
Jocelyn Mocka : Vocals, Chorus, Handclaps ;
Serge Bourgeois : Drums, Percussion ;
Francoise Lancreot : Alto Flute ;
Edouard Decimus : Accordion ;
Ramon Pyrmée : Synthesizer ;
Hard to find album, that I’d highly recommend as a like a musical imprint of that era, perfect musical blend – Hope you’ll like it, enjoy !
