Sam Fan Thomas – Makassi Again – Vinyl Album
Brand new, never played and still sealed in the factory plastic seal
Celluloid 1990

Thomas got his musical break as a guitarist in the Cameroonian band Tigres Noires in the early ’70s but left the outfit in 1976 to pursue a solo career. He recorded a remarkable hit with “Afric Typic Collection,” a dance number that incorporates a variety of West and Central African rhythms.

Makossa is a type of music which is most popular in urban areas in Cameroon. It is similar to soukous, except it includes strong bass rhythm and a prominent horn section. It originated from a type of Duala dance called kossa, with significant influences from jazz, ambasse bey, Latin music, highlife and rhumba. While the makossa style began in the 1950’s, the first recordings were not seen until a decade later. Artists such as Eboa Lotin, Misse Ngoh and especially Manu Dibango popularized the style outside of Cameroon in the later 1960s. Makassi is a lighter style of makossa. Sam Fan Thomas developed and popularised this variation in the mid-1980s and made makossa potentially more marketable.
