Chakacha is a furious Afro-Rock funk bomb from this fantastic group, vocals by Kasim Kombo. Flip it and you have another unique track called Mungwana, wait for the horns to kick in ! Both tracks officially licensed on our inhouse label. Comes in tasty Afro7 sleeve with original label design.

These days, Hamad Kalkaba is a retired Army colonel and track and field athletics administrator in his native Cameroon. Yet back in the mid 1970s, he was a musician with dreams of potential super-stardom, trying to update traditional Cameroonian "Gandjal" music for the funk generation. To that end, he recorded a small number of singles and EPs alongside his backing band, the Golden Sounds. It's those thoroughly obscure and overlooked releases that make up Hamad Kalkaba & The Golden Sounds, a retrospective of his pioneering work. Sitting somewhere between Afro-beat, Afro-funk and Afro-jazz, with a distinctively Cameroonian rhythmic swing, the music showcased on the album is undeniably special.
