Orchestre Abass – de bassari togo lp

De platen op Analog Africa verschijnen tegenwoordig in niet al te grote oplages en verkopen eigenlijk altijd snel uit. Dit is er weer zo eentje. Oplage 2000 stuks, alleen op plaat. Dit gezelschap uit Togo bracht in 1972 twee singles uit, veelgezocht in kringen van verzamelaars, maar pas toen er een tijdje geleden tapes met onuitgebracht werk boven water kwamen ontstond deze Analog Africa plaat. ‘It all happened in 2008 in Ghana.

Erg mooi Analog Africa produkt weer. ‘With their heavy, organ-led sound combining with the deftest of musical touches, these records were the work of a rhythmic powerhouse and we are honoured to be in a position to present the recordings of Togo´s funkiest Band.’  Niet te lang wachten, want zal dus snel uit verkopen.
