Various – Cameroon Garage Funk 1964 - 1979

2x Vinyl 12"

Cameroon Garage Funk 1964–1979 captures the raw, vibrant sounds emerging from Cameroon during a period when recording facilities were scarce. Centred on the thriving music scene of 1970s Yaoundé, the collection reflects an era when bars and neighbourhood venues were alive with music, yet underground artists often had few opportunities to preserve their work on record.

With professional studios largely unavailable and the national broadcasting company prohibitively expensive for many musicians, recording a song could be an adventure in itself. The resulting tracks capture the energy and resourcefulness of Cameroon’s musicians, offering a fascinating window into the country’s garage, funk and underground sounds between 1964 and 1979.
