Nkotti François & Les Black Styl – Eyeo Me Ndi (Cameroun, 1980s, Editions Retro 2000)

Posted on by admin6800

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 !

This post is dedicated to Nkotti François, my Cameroonian father who sadly passed away on August 2021. Miss you so much my friend, but my pain is relieved, I know that you will now sing for the stars !
