Archimedes Badkar and Afro 70 - Kila Mtu (Afrojazzfunk from Sweden, 1978)

(MNW 91P).

This swedish band led by Patrick Pama Balisidya (guitar, vocals) and Bengt Berger (drums) plays ethnic jazz and delivers some serious afrofunk on Kila Mtu (which means "everybody"). Great example of high level production realised in Sweden at that time.

Cora Funk (Fred Wesley and Lamine Conte, 1978)

(Eboni ER-00005).

The introduction of cora and djembe in an american disco-funk production is not always easy to achieve coherently, but here the blend of influences works pretty well, with strong african influence, thanks to top class musicians involved:

African Soul Band - Nande (Obscure afrogroove from France, 70s)

(MD 001).

Rare private production realised in France. It cannot be considered as african music while listening to the  "occidental-sounding" arrangements including violins... but the singer may be from Senegal (he's singing a melody probably inspired by "lale kouma", a senegalese traditional song). Anyway, a really nice funky fusion tune by African Soul Band, which is the same band playing with malian singer  Niama Makalou on another obscure afrodisco 7 inch (here).

Abel Lima e Les Sofas cantam Nos Bida (Afrofunk form Cabo Verde, 1977)

Abel Lima is a singer from Cabo Verde islands, forced to clandestine imigration by boat at age of 13 to escape the totalitarian regime.

JM Tim and Foty - Douala by Night (Afrodisco classic from Cameroon, 1977)

(Disques Esperance ESP 155029).

Duo from Cameroon (playing together from 1977 to 1982) gives here an idea on how funky the nights are in Douala... A disco flavored classic. 

Ondeno - Mayolye (Afrodisco from Gabon, 1980)

(Disques Ledoux ASL 7017).

Ondeno Rebieno is from Gabon, recorded probably in Paris this LP, produced by Abou Sylla and supervised by Alphonse Marie Toukas a RFI journalist from Congo and musician (who created his 1st band "Sympathique Jazz"  in 1959 in Brazzaville).
