TOHON STAN - Le roi du Tchink system
The afro synth digital cover of his 70's winner "dja dja dja" with legendary Ernest Honny on keyboards, which was released on his first and very hard to get blue cover album, is surely a dancefloor hit, and it's a consistent afro synth / afro pop lp, check the deep melancholic "ounmin ounmin" & the hypnotic "ariwo ki kpa ina". One more thing : despite what it looks like with it's cheap 80's cover, it's definitely not an easy record to find, among his rare ones. Sleeve w/ minor wear but very thin pĂȘel off along top mouth & bottom front seam, record plays w/ very reasonable to no noise from light marks & unremoveable dirt, solid VG- to VG+
