mmoonn This album is perfect

vinieux Afro-rhythms with a disco-funk flavour. Love the laid back lilt and the trippy bass on Konya. Favorite track: Konya.

Catsley's Cornucopia // Lubey Lu It's trippy and trance-like and makes me think of roadtrips and the sun setting over the sea. Favorite track: Konya.

Rebel Up SebCat psychedelic disco power from Ghana, for those who want their disco with a lot of funk & groove. Homowo and African Soul Power are the best dancefloor tunes and much more to discover, A side songs. Favorite track: Homowo.

about

One of Ghanaâ€™s most sought-after LPs emerges from obscurity as a high quality reissue on the new Vintage Voudou label from the Netherlands. First released in Nigeria in 1979, this LP (also known as Basa Basa Experience - Together We Win) is a unique collaboration with Themba â€˜T-fireâ€™ Matebese, who propelled Basa Basaâ€™s sound, inspired by Ghanaian traditional music, soul and afrobeat, into another dimension, adding disco elements, synthesizers and the production aesthetics of the next decade. Contains extensive liner notes and fold-out poster.

The new Amsterdam based label Vintage Voudou focuses on re-releasing a carefully picked selection of rare tropical music on vinyl, paying special attention to sound quality and print work. Vintage Voudou was founded by Alex Figueira (FumaÃ§a Preta / Conjunto Papa Upa), originally as a club night in Amsterdam dedicated to vintage tropical dance tunes. In 2013 he joined forces with Edo Bouman (Bombay Connection), opening the Vintage Voudou record shop in the heart of the Red Light district in Amsterdam. Basa Basa is Vintage Voudouâ€™s first release, and is a collaboration of Edo Bouman and Thomas Gesthuizen aka DJ Gioumanne.
