K. Frimpong and His Cubano Fiesta
Me Da A Onnda

Since his introduction in the 60’s, Roger Damawuzan has lit stages on fire, whether it be with The Rickers Orchestra or with The Melo-Togo Orchestra (taking home 2nd place for the first National Festival of Tologese Music). His first 7" vinyl Wait For Me is a holy grail for diggers all around the world. It was such a hit that Togolese music is and will forever be stamped by Roger Damawuzan. He was principal in introducing Gazo, Akpesse and Kamou rhythms to modern day soul music. Relentless and unstoppable, Roger Damawuzan is now making a comeback with a heavy funk 7 inch! This release contains an unreleased single from the album Seda , which will be available on October 14th 2022. Such a force of nature, this album could have been only captured, if not mastered, by one studio. Such mission was accomplished by the legendary studio OTODI (Office Togolese of Disks) by utilizing solely analog equipment to translate and to breath all of Damawuzan’s soul into this album. Roger Damawuzan could have been supported by only one group. Led by Peter Solo, the members of the Vaudou Game and Lomé’s most talented musicians are at Damawuzan’s disposal for this new soul DJ friendly vinyl.

Another killer Roots/Reggae reissue by French imprint, Jamwax !!!

After Sweet Sweet Dreams album, Jamwax is very proud to finally release D'Hardest on its original maxi 12'' format.“D'Hardest” was recorded at K.H. studios in Trinidad in 1980 and another version/mix was released on the Wake Up album. This song is everything, thanks to Winston Bailey aka Shadow and all his team.

It was July 26th 1979, following a meeting with the group The Meditations in the Madison Square Garden area, Kingston Jamaica, Dervin Dawes and Donald Marshall paid close attention and exchanged ideas in turn learning much more from an already established group with their hit song ‘Woman Is Like A Shadow’. Ansel Cridland (The Meditations) brought some more talent to the D’Nations by suggesting meeting and talking with Anthony Hill who can sing very well. The Meditations would show the D'Nations good lead vocals and having harmony in sync together in order to develop a better sound for the determined trio.Channel 1 Records Studio on Maxfield Avenue, West Kingston Jamaica; in that era was the top of the line and one of the most prestigious recording studios. There, the D'Nations met and impressed the producer Bunny Hylton from London, who was residing in Jamaica at the time. He provided them with studio time enough to produce the first two songs from the trio ‘See Me in the Park’ and ‘I Am Not Good At Proposing’, released in England in late 1979.In 1989, after good vibes with the most famous backing-band at this time Fire House Crew, the D'Nations composed with them 'Vibes Version' at Music Works studio and then move to Creative Sound Studio on Mountain View Avenue to record the vocal. The result is a monster digital lover tune that will mash up all festivals this summer.
