JO BISSO – Dance To It

Highly sought after collection of Afrobeat originally issued in 1976 on Disques Esprance. The album opens up with the title track “Dance To It”, a tough slice of Funk. Part 1 is all about the driving catchy groove which is layered with downtown funk. Part 2 brings in Jo’s spoken vocals in his native language and English, setting the tone of the album to come. “Disco Madonna” introduces a Latin flavour with Spanish vocals, a rumba groove and darting percussion. “Ramaya” melds a playful, summery, euro melody with Jo’s throaty, fun-loving vocals and a nascent use of synthesizers.
