"Paris - Brazzaville - Kinshasa - Abidjan - Douala. A celebration of the underground Pan-African music scene centered around Paris in the '80s featuring never-before-reissued productions and dance floor sure-shots taking in new forms of dance floor-ready Rumba, Bikutsi, Soukous, Boogie and more. In the early '80s a perfect storm of social, technological, political and cultural developments brought about a unique music scene centered around Paris, away from the major labels and pop charts. Musicians, ideas and styles flew between the small independent studios and labels of the French capital and Francophone Africa and the Caribbean, experimenting with new technology and drawing in a dizzying array of influences to soundtrack clubs, bars and radio stations. Comes with 28-page magazine format booklet featuring previously unpublished photos from the archives of photographer Bill Akwa Bétotè as well as interviews with producers Cyriaque Bassoka and Rigo Makengo, musicians Michel Alibo, Denis Hekimian & John Jongos and Studio Caroline owner Jacky Reggan."
