Cosmic Soukous




Esa was a danceband from Cameroon who blended electronic sounds and disco bass into their soukous (African rumba) sounds. 14 musicians participated in the creation of this first record, released in 1986. Stephan Dayas Nguea, who produced and provided vocals on this album, is still carrying on as a solo act and still using the Esa id. This is my favorite from the Esa discography and a hard one to find, so a good one to share. Hope you enjoy.
