Oche, Ray Stephen -& His Matumbo-

Interpretation Of The Original Rhythm

...RHYTHM'. Reissue on 180 grams vinyl from this fantastic Afro funk and jazz album by the Nigerian Ray Stephen Oche! Ray Stephen Oche is a singer, drummer, flutist and -mainly- trumpet player from Nigeria. From the late '50s on he's spent time in Ghana where he met famous drummer Guy Warren, who supposedly taught him the secrets of authentic African rythms". He also toured in Sierra Leone with the Outer Space band, and went to Senegal and Gambia. He arrived in Paris in 1965 and played in Europe, where Oche worked with ORTF. Matumbo, the name of his band, means in Angola "gifted with various talents". This LP was recorded in Paris with musicians from Congo, Togo, Guinea, Gambia, but also Brazil and the so called French West Indies. The whole album is rootsy and groovy afro-jazz, full of percussion and energetic African singing (in the Idoma language).
