FRANCK BIYONG & THE AFROLECTRIC ORCHESTRA

featuring MELISSA JAMES

“We Shall Overcome“

Hot Casa Records

This week’s S.O.T.W. brings us back to a french scene that doesn’t seem to have limits these days, while exploring the countless sides of the groove. Remember Patchworks sitting at this place two weeks ago on what was a brilliant incursion into the hi-life jazz territory ? Well, Biyong and the likes, including locally well known keyboardist, Olivier Emsellen go even further back to the roots with this pure trip leading us to the very depth of easygoing african cool tempo. A genuine piece of music dubbed with an instrumental version on the flip that could have easily been put out back in the daze of seminal afrocentric groove. Better check out dis’one asap as it’s a very limited 7inch edition.
