Disco legends
Don Ray and
Cerrone teamed up in 1977 to become their version of
Kongas, which was a revolving group of several collaborators that would change the face of disco music. In that same year they released the classic funk-disco LP,
Africanism. This amazing album featured great disco-funk songs like "
Tattoo Woman", "
Dr. Doo-Dah", the title track "
Africanism" which leads into their cover of
Spencer Davis Group's "
Gimme Some Lovin'". This record was released on the early French Disco label
Crocos Records along with the more mainstream major,
Polydor. I didn't know how I felt about this album on first listen, or should I say first couple of listens, however the more I listened to it, the more I fell in love with it. And now I can't seem to stop listening to it. The album contains some solid funk-disco music with a little bit of "tongue-and-cheek" vocals which I sort of love. I should state that I now love this album so much, that I went to ebay and purchased a copy. All I can say is "take it in", and you might be hooked.
Here's my personal favorite song on the record:
Kongas - Tattoo Woman
