Bongo Joe Records 

The Bongo Joe label is dedicated to exploring contemporary underground worlds and unearthing rare musical gems from both near and far. With a focus on instruments, voices, and machines, Bongo Joe delves into the furrows of time to bring you an eclectic selection of music. Whether you visit their shop in Geneva or browse their online store, you'll discover a treasure trove of unique sounds that span genres and cultures.

What sets Bongo Joe apart is their homage to the legendary American street musician George 'Bongo Joe' Coleman. Despite lucrative offers from established venues, Coleman chose to play on the streets for over 30 years. In 1968, he recorded his only album Bongo Joe in San Antonio with producer Chris Strachwitz of Arhoolie Records. This self-titled record embodies a pure DIY attitude and features music that was ahead of its time.

The family of George 'Bongo Joe' Coleman was thrilled when they discovered that a record store in Geneva had chosen to honor his name. The reissue of his album by Mississippi Records further solidified his legacy. Through their store and label, Bongo Joe continues to pay tribute to this remarkable artist while also introducing European music lovers to a world of captivating sounds.

Ndox Electrique results from the collaboration between François R. Cambuzat, Gianna Greco (also known for their work with Ifriqiyya Electrique), and the n'doëp community in Senegal. The project originated from the duo's quest to trace the origins of North African rituals, which led them to the Lebu community in Cap-Vert, an isolated region at Africa's westernmost point.

The album seamlessly blends the duo's electronically-infused avant-rock with the intense, ritualistic vocal chants and rhythmic percussion of the n'doëp community. It serves as a captivating bridge between these two musical worlds, capturing the essence of this cross-cultural collaboration.

The text also highlights the challenges of merging Western rock and experimental influences with the sensibilities of their Senegalese collaborators, ultimately resulting in a unique and powerful musical experience. "Ndox Electrique" transcends cultural boundaries, immersing listeners in the enchanting sounds and mystical narratives of Western Africa.&nbsp;
