Roger Bekono – Roger Bekono

Roger Bekono has even been allowed to compose for the Pope: in the 1980s, he was one of the most important musicians in Cameroon. With the album »Roger Bekono«, he made the Bikutsi sound known beyond the borders of the country using driving tresillos over a steady, electronically based »four-to-the-floor« basic beat, refined by Bekono’s smooth voice. Awesome Tapes From Africa re-released this classic this year.
