ANGELIQUE KIDJO & MIKE STEIPHENSON

Fantastic Afro-Pop hit from Angelique Kidjo, coming from her 1992 album ‘Logozo’, which is well worth looking up. As is the very hard to track down ‘Jungle Club Mix’ of this track, off the 12″.

In 1967 Sevac Ekian recorded a ceremony of Ingoma Tribe in the East African State Burundi. Back home he developed the idea to arrange a “musical marriage”(mariage musical). Therefore he asked the producer Mike Steiphenson to create a fitting tune to those absorbing drums he brought.
In 1971 the track was published under the pseudonym Burundi Black and is considered by some to be the first disco track (though I’d debate that).
