Surboum Africaine - Vive Le Togo!

Founded around four musicians from the independent scene (Tiny Scalp, Bantam Lyons, Moskou, Fairy Tales in Yoghourt), the band delivers a melodic, sensitive and nervous set. Influenced by bands like Deerhoof, Honey For Petzi, The Flaming Lips, Polvo or Television,Classe Mannequin serves a hybrid music, betwenn the playful immediacy of pop and the noisy tensions of math-rock and noise.Classe mannequin played with nationals and internationals bands, like The Weeding Present, Half Moon Run, Clara Clara, Gum Takes Tooth, The French Cow Boy, Hyphen Hyphen, Jesus Christ Fashion Barbe, etc…

There's naturally much to enjoy on the latest volume in Africa Seven's A7 Edits series, which pairs original - and usually obscure - old Afro-disco and Afro-boogie gems with fresh 21st century edits. This time round, the A-side is all about Kemayo & K System's piano and horn-heavy disco-funk jam 'Biram', a two-minute blast of dancefloor exuberance that Phillip Lauer cleverly re-imagines as loopy, locked-in chunk of Afro-disco/disco house fusion. Over on the flip there's a chance to savour Afro National's heavy, low-slung stomper 'Push Forward', a cut that brilliantly adds chanted vocals and Hendrix style guitar solos to a sweaty, non-stop groove. Al Zanders does a great job in ratcheting up the tension and heaviness on his accompanying club-ready extension.
