RELEASE DESCRIPTION

For the Sun Explosion album, we are off to 1978 in Paris. Six years after his international breakthrough with the track Soul Makossa, Manu Dibango is on a roll after scoring a couple of films.

The previous year Manu returned to the studio with long-term collaborator and producer Roland Le Couviour and the engineer Claude Achallé to work on an artist album.

This Sun Explosion album features four tracks, which are all lengthy, straddling a series of styles from the lazy, reggae-jazz of opener Anty, to the more traditional afro-funk-jazz sound of Matumba for the A-side.

Keeping in mind that Disco was in the air in 1978, it’s now time to spin the records over to the B-side and to hear the sounds of the times that have made their way into the epic-funky strings of Motapo and the driving brass and funky xylophone of Sun Explosion.

A record that sounds surprisingly at home in today's current musical climate.
