Yta Jourias – Pouvoir Noir (Sonafric – SAF 50006 - France - 1975) SIGNED COPY

Sold out

First album by modern togolese music pioneer, Germaine Adjovi Amékou aka Yta Jourias. This album released on the great label Sonafric includes some beautiful hybrid tracks between jazz-funk and highlife, rumba & boléro "Metsa Volomiye" and "Pesse Mi Buntare" are both great exemples of the quality of this album. "Allah" is a deep religious song with killer afro spiritual jazz background. "Pouvoir Noir" is a nice pop song sung in french. The particularity of this album is that Yta sings in several african languages like Bambara, Haoussa, Ewe, Amina and also Russian & French !
Still pretty much overlooked album in my humble opinion !

Record looks and plays NM mostly flawless / Close to perfect sleeve signed by Yta Jourias on the back sleeve (Check the actual audio on instagram).
