Les Grands Succes des Editions Vévé, vol.2 -
Various Artists, Sonafric 50040, 1977



















The track by Orchestre Kiam on number 3 of this album, was
also on Their LP with the title 'l'Afrique Danse avec Sakumuna'.
It is called 'Kamiki 1&2' on that one and 'Bamo kangi' on this one.
Then on track #4 we find Verckys doing some funk, let's say he
was experimenting something new. I like his own sound better.
Rumba or funk, it's another piece of history, directed by Verckys,
with four of Africa's greatest groups ever, check that out.

tracks;

1 Orchestre Kamale - Ayidjo
2 Orchestre Lipua-Lipua - Bongisa maloba
3 Orchestre Kiam - Bamo kangi
4 Orchestre Vévé Star - Bassala hot

Thanks Moos. "Basala Hot" was the B side of a very popular Orchestre Vévé song but I can't remember which. Alas, the fleeting years take their toll on memory ...

Thanks Moos for these Jewels...At long last we have "Basala Hot" and hot indeed it is!!. Wonderful experimentation on Vercky's part. Thanks again and I hope we shall soon have "Kalala" Promax..Nairobi.
