A double shot of vital Soukous / Coup� D�cal� hybrids out of Abidjan & Paris. Check!!

"Nassima" is a deep hybrid of Soukous and Highlife, recorded in Abidjan in 1975 by the mysterious Bazar� D. Pablo. Thumping percussion, intricate guitar, ethereal vocals and a solid bassline add up to a perennial Sofrito classic.

B Side:
Atalaku 8 - a Paris-based Ivoirien/Congolese group operating out of the legendary Kos studio - lay down a seriously funky house-tempo Coup� D�cal� track, topped off with a Siwo dub instrumental.
