Su viaje desde la ciudad portuaria de Douala hasta la capital de Yaund\u00e9 lo puso en contacto con las vidas y las historias de muchos de los m\u00fasicos que hab\u00edan dado forma al sonido de la m\u00fasica dance de Camer\u00fan en su d\u00e9cada m\u00e1s f\u00e9rtil. <\/p>\n<p> De hecho, todos los temas de Pop Makossa son una revelaci\u00f3n. El comp\u00e1s que mantiene todo unido tiene su origen en los ritmos folcl\u00f3ricos del pueblo Sawa; Ambassey, Bolobo, Assiko y Essew\u00e9, un tradicional baile f\u00fanebre;  <\/p>\n<p> Pero no fue hasta que este ritmo lleg\u00f3 a las ciudades de Camer\u00fan y choc\u00f3 con la Rumba congole\u00f1a, el Merengue High-Life y, m\u00e1s tarde, el Funk y el Disco, que naci\u00f3 la makossa moderna.  <\/p>\n<p> Makossa tuvo \u00e9xito en parte porque era muy adaptable. Algunos de los mayores \u00e9xitos de makossa incorporaron guitarras electrizantes y ritmos ajustados de funk, mientras que otros se combinaron con florituras c\u00f3smicas que fueron posibles gracias a la llegada del sintetizador. Sin embargo, mucho se reduc\u00eda al bajo; y desde el ajetreo gomoso que sustenta &#8216;Yaound\u00e9 Girls&#8217; de Mystic Djim hasta las luminosas l\u00edneas disco l\u00edquidas que impulsan el &#8216;Movimiento Sekele&#8217; de Pasteur Lapp\u00e9, Pop Makossa demuestra por qu\u00e9 los bajistas cameruneses se encuentran entre los m\u00e1s venerados del mundo. <\/p>\n<p>  Sin embargo, al final de todo, todav\u00eda quedaba un misterio final que enfrentaba el equipo de producci\u00f3n de Analog Africa: \u00bfc\u00f3mo iba a comenzar esta compilaci\u00f3n de sonidos asombrosos de Camer\u00fan? <\/p>\n<p> Muchos meses y cientos de diferentes \u00f3rdenes de ejecuci\u00f3n m\u00e1s tarde y todav\u00eda no parec\u00eda encajar&#8230; hasta que un d\u00eda se encontraron con una poderosa canci\u00f3n titulada &#8216;Pop Makossa Invasion&#8217;, grabada para Radio Buea, una melod\u00eda tan oscura que ni siquiera en Camer\u00fan se hab\u00eda lanzado. De repente, toda la compilaci\u00f3n encaj\u00f3. &#8216;Pop Makossa Invasion&#8217; hace su debut aqu\u00ed y se une al pante\u00f3n de canciones que conectaron el estilo makossa de Camer\u00fan al mundo moderno.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viene en una portada desplegable con un folleto de 20 p\u00e1ginas, un p\u00f3ster del tama\u00f1o de un LP y una tarjeta de descarga. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Varios misterios se cern\u00edan<a class=\"read\" href=\"https:\/\/wpguerssen-test.odoo.rgbconsulting.com\/es\/producto\/pop-makossa-the-invasive-dance-beat-of-cameroon\/\"> (...)<\/a>","protected":false},"featured_media":213689,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[23258],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-215990","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-afro-funk-afrobeat-es","7":"pa_artist-various-artists-es","8":"pa_format-2lp-es","9":"pa_gender-afro-funk-afrobeat","10":"pa_label-analog-africa-es","11":"pa_location-africa-es","12":"pa_other-filters-vinyl-only-es","14":"first","15":"instock","16":"taxable","17":"shipping-taxable","18":"purchasable","19":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>VARIOUS ARTISTS - Pop Makossa.

How did bandleader Eko Roosevelt go from Cameroonian prodigy to chief of an idyllic seaside village? And who exactly was Mystic Djim, the dreadlocked producer and mercurial hit-maker whose wizardry on a simple home four-track recorder could outshine even the mighty studios of Cameroon's National Radio station? #nl# The Makossa adventure had started in 2009 when label founder Samy Ben Redjeb first travelled to Cameroon for an initial assessment of the musical situation of the country and had returned with a compilation that was patiently brewing and waiting for the right time to be explored. #nl# \"Le coup de grace\" was infringed when DJ and music producer D\u00e9ni Shain was then dispatched to Cameroon to finalise the project, license the songs, scan pictures, interviews the artists and remove the question marks hanging over our heads. His journey from the port city of Douala to the capital of Yaound\u00e9 put him in contact with the lives and stories of many of the musicians who had shaped the sound of Cameroon's dance music in its most fertile decade. #nl# Indeed, all the tracks on Pop Makossa are a revelation.
