African Hits Vol. 3

Here is No. III of our series of "African Hits" tapes from the 1980s Rwandan market.

This edition has a strong focus on Cameroun as Sam Fan Thomas came out with his well known hit album in 1983. We also have Tamwo Isidore and Moni Bile, both fron Cameroun, as well as Souzy Kasseya from Congo and Akendengue from Gaboun.

Enjoy!

African Hits Vol. 2

Here is the second tape of the African Hits series.

My questions along with my post of volume one remained unanswered. So, it seems that nobody can teel us where those tapes have been compiled and maufactured.

Here are Sam Mangwana, Theo Blaise Kounkou and Bopol Mansiamina with two tracks each.

Enjoy!

African Hits Vol. 1

Today I start to post a small series of tapes called "African Hits", which appeared on the Rwandan market during the 1980s. I don't know where they came from (probably Kenya?). But they were the only chance to get music from then Zaire.

Maybe one of my readers has seen such a tape (I have vols 1 to 7) and can add information about them, e.g. where they have seen them, who compiled them, where they were produced ..., was there another vol. above no. 7, etc.?

The quality varies but is partly quite good. It's definitely good for a Saturdaynight! So please enjoy!

Tracks are:
Side One:
1. Le téléphone sonne (Souzy Kasseya)
2. Yo yo yo (Asi Kapela)
3. Dédé Priscila (Lea Lignanzi)
4. Ma Coco (Lubadika Porthos)
Side Two:
1. Mariage forcé (Bopol Mansiamina)
2. Affaires du coeur (Pamelo Mounk'a)
3. Chérie Maguy (Fidèle Zizi)
4. L'argent appelle l'argent (Freddy Kebano), instrumental version
