Anyone have nay info on this here record? Copped it today -- apparently produced by Fred Wesley (assuming the fred wesley)??? African joint, assuming early 80s, on Nkoussou Music.

Can't find any info on it online - curious to what it sounds like, etc.

    group is from gabon, playing their riff on congolese soukous.

    fast trebly guitars, drum machines, corny synths, aggressively happy horn section.

    not really my thing, almost certainly not your thing, pretty much nobody's thing except central africans and bald belgian men in djellabas. value: $6.

    ya, it's sealed, but also this was an on the road purchase, so I don't have access to record player.
