Murder By Contract (Various Artists)

• Track Listing

Noir C'est Noir second volume - special issue: garage, psych, and prog! A deep exploration of the vast archives of all across Africa for a series of selections of dynamite fusions that have barely been assembled together previously, such as soul, jerk, psych, beat, garage, and others. All cuts reissued for the first time. Noir C'est Noir series hopes to bring joy and satisfaction to the fans of the lost music from all across Africa, from north to south, from east to west. Congo, South Africa, Benin, Tanzania, and so on - up to 11 different countries from the continent are represented. These recordings were made during the '60s and '70s from a time when African people were willing to celebrate the Pan-African identity within their own conception of music. This second volume of Noir C'est Noir concentrates on garage punk, psychedelia, and prog genres... But there's a lot more to be heard. All the 14 songs reissued here appear to the international public for the first time. Features: Wrong Notes, Narma Samith, Orquestre Veve, Os Rebeldes, Sunny Blacks Band, Vum Vum, Simiao, Tall Enma & His Skipper, Os Impacto, Gino Garrido e Os Psicodelicos, Teta Lando, Os Inflexos, Shar' Habeel, and H2O.
