Reissue of one of the ultimate Soukous banger! Originally recorded in 1992 in Paris, Eki Bis is a party classic. The chorus became a common expression all over the world helped by the hypnotic guitars of the maestros Diblo Dibala and Rigo Star and a smashing up-tempo electro-acoustic drum beat. Le Cobra de Sundama is a famous singer from Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo) who composed more than 12 albums backed by great band such as Empire Bakuba, and was considered to have a voice like Kofi Olomide or Papa Wemba, mixing Lingala and French street expressions. After many concerts and tours all over the continent, he finally settled in Angola. The B-side features a DJ/radio edit with the addition of few electro synths. Produced in Paris by the great producer Jacky Toto and now officially licensed. Remastered by The Carvery and pressed on limited 500 copies.
