Self-released in France in 1986 by Moloungue Bahonda, an unknown percussionist believed to be from Congo. The title Tam-Tams seem to pay homage to an informal event where percussionists, dancers, and others gather every week during the warm season at Mount Royal Park in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where the official language is French. Total 6 tracks, including "Tohu-Bohu", which has an obscure feel that carves various polyrhythms and slow sticky groove "Ethiopie". Under the radar and cover is also amazing.
コンゴ出身と思われる詳細不明のパーカッショ二ストMoloungue Bahondaによるフランス産86年プライベート作品。タイトルのTam-Tamsは公用語がフランス語のカナダ・ケベック州モントリオールのマウントロワイヤル公園で温暖な季節の間に毎週行われている打楽器奏者、ダンサーなどが集まる非公式イベントの名でそこに敬意を示した作品だと推測されます。様々なポリリズムを刻むオブスキュア感覚”Tohu-Bohu"、ゆったりと粘着グルーブを刻むエチオピアの輪舞”Ethiopie"を含む全6曲。ジャケも最高。
A1 - Promenade Au Son Des Tam-Tams
A2 - Ethiopie
A3 - Pharafina
