Offizielle AFRODELIC-Wiederveröffentlichung des extrem seltenen Debütalbums von Tunde Mabadu. Ursprünglich 1978 auf dem Blackspot-Label (DECCAs Westafrika-Abteilung) veröffentlicht, unterscheidet sich Bisu, das das supergroovige Red Jeans enthält, vom späteren Viva Disco-Album von 1980 durch einen viel reineren afrikanischen Stil.
Sales Information:
Official AFRODELIC reissue of the ultra-rare Tunde Mabadu's debut album. Originally released in 1978 on Blackspot label (DECCA's West Africa division), Bisu, which includes the supergroovy 'Red Jeans', differs from the later 1980 'Viva Disco' album by a much more pure African style.
A beautiful and soulful production in which Tunde's deep voice and sax move on the excellent horns arrangements, percussions, the wahwah rhythm guitar and weird keyboards and synths (at times psychedelic as in the 'Blue Bird' 9 minutes).
As wrote on the original liner notes of the era "His music will mesmerize you from the first track. A dedicated Musician especially to his African Roots with so much to offer Musically".
Repressed for the first time. Limited Edition.[info sheet from distr.]
