On his Touré Jim’s Records label, bassist Aladji Touré is the king of the makossa medley. He debuted twins Epée and Koum this way, and the recipe also applies to Nostalgie by singer Charlotte Mbango. For once, she abandons the backing vocals and finally takes center stage (which she will henceforth shine on a regular basis). After a first side of covers of Emile Kangue and Dina Bell hits, the next opens with a long, irresistible medley, featuring titles by Ben Decca, Geo Masso, Toto Guillaume, Pierre de Moussy and many more. Nearly ten minutes under the imperial groove of the master of the house, accompanied by Rigo Star, Toto Guillaume, Jean-Pierre Coco, Guy Bilong… In short, this Makossa Non Stop has become a standard in its own right!
