Owawa/Camp Luka - Fiesta 51.042 (1970)

This 45 is quite rare. Neither 'Owawa' or 'Camp Luka' appears to have been released on CD or LP.
Both are Franco compositions. 'Camp Luka' is a funky rumba with two sections, the first has some speaking, the early version of rapping maybe?

'Owawa' is in a beautiful and more traditional Congolese style called a 'Polka-Piket.' It has an interesting spoken introduction.

It is also labelled Editions Populaires No.17

Side A

  1. Thank you for the interesting songs. Never heard them before.

    Some feedback:
    Is it possible for you to check the quality of the picture of the front sleeve before posting? This one was very blurry and impossible to read.
    I'm also missing the 160 Kbps bit rate you used before.
