Alafia - Assanssan Picture Disc on USA Import Records betweenThe fifth release on Canopy continues to up the ante and expand on the tropical Techni colour palette already set out by the label. Alafia was a studio project from the mid 80s in Paris. Masterminded and written by musical maverick Phil Han Mandounou and bringing together musicians from Benin, Cameroon and the French Antilles. The project is a superbly orchestrated and expertly delivered exploration of funk and afro off beats with 80s synth leanings.
