– Analog Africa present Pop Makossa, a compilation featuring the makossa style popular throughout Cameroon.
– The rhythms of the Sawa people — ambassey, bolobo, assiko and essewé, a traditional funeral dance — collided with the rhythms of Cameroon cities — merengue, high-life, Congolese rumba, and, later, funk and disco — to create the modern makossa.
– Some of the greatest makossa hits incorporated the electrifying guitars and tight grooves of funk, while others were laced with cosmic flourishes made possible by the advent of the synthesizer.
– Double LP version comes in a gatefold sleeve with a 20-page LP-size booklet; 140 gram vinyl.
