1LP Vinyl – SMV03

Dibango displays his virtuosity on vocals, saxophone, percussions, and keyboards in a set that attempts to pick up commercially where Soul Makossa ended. Most recording artists releasing albums in the late '70s included a disco tune, and Dibango is no exception; "Big Blow," a mighty slab of African funk, is his contribution to the style. "Aloka Party" and "Bayam Sell'am" have the same driving force that propelled "Soul Makossa" up the charts. A favorite is the instrumental "Dakar Street" which is African fusion-jazz at its finest. The title cut "Afrovision" is the most unusual cut; the rhythms are different, complex, and indigenous to Dibango's West African roots.
