jacob f. desvarieux: anthology pt 3

The third and final part of the Jacob F. Desvarieux anthology on Endless Flight brings two more hot productions of the fabled French zouk veteran with roots in Guadeloupe. "Rifyx" is taken from Desvarieux's 1985 album Oh Madiana and delivers arresting jazz-funk and zouk-suspense enlarged with touching horns, synth-enthusiasm, and longing female vocals. The second song comes from the Paris-based, West Cameroon-born singer Tala, produced by desvarieux for Tala's album Mother Africa (1982). Japanese producer Kuniyuki edits "Rifyx" and turns it into an epic, soulful, eight-minute-long dream house anthem.
