Frank Valmont & Synchro Rhythmic Ecclectic Orchestra - Malere (Creole jazz, 1975)

(Moshe Naim Records - MN 30.023). 

Here's a promo copy of a Frank Valmont track "Malére", perfectly balanced between west indies unique rhythms and 70s modern jazz.

Synchro Rythmic Ecclectic Language (Black Atlantic jazz from France, 70s)

(SONG RECORDS SR 04).


This atypical afro-caribean jazzfunk band includes great musicians as George Edouard Nouel (keyboard), Louis Xavier (bass), Jo Maka (sax). A really groovy blend of influences...

Bonga / Tiao / Jo Maka - Racines (Angola+Brazil+Guinea, 1978)

(Playa Sound SF202).

A kind of "Black Atlantic" musical mixture is here well represented with this album from Bonga (Angola), Tiao Tocha Perazzo (Brazil) and Jo Maka (Guinea). Slaves from Benin, Angola and Congo were transplanted in brasilian Nordeste. From these african roots, afro-brazilian generations developed both sacred music (candomble) and popular music (samba). This beautiful album is a nice way to meet up again musically.
