Celi Bittsu – Matinda, Sacodis

One of Europe’s biggest recordfairs takes place in Utrecht twice
a year, this weekend is the next edition and I already had the
chance to pick a couple of gems from the enormous offer out there.
Go_here_to find_out_more. You can put it on English.
The first LP I want to share with you is this one, it hit me as soon as I
played it and recorded it straight away. I could not find any information
on Celi Bittsu on the web and ask you to fill me in on the subject.
Does the name concern a person or a group ?
It is released on the Sacodis label from Abidjan but the music sounds
Congolese, is it ? The language is quite certain Lingala, do you agree ?
A year of release maybe ? Track #3 is called after Sacodis’ great producer
Aboudou Lassissi who did this album too of course. I am sure you’re
gonna love this wonderful rarity, I certainly do, get it while you can.

tracks;

1 Matinda
2 Consalation
3 Lassissi
4 Okomi ndenge

    Surely this must be Celi Bitshou, OK Jazz bassist? (AKA Francis Bitshoumanou). Very unusual, beautiful cover art!

    Further to this: Celi was the composer of my all-time favorite OK Jazz song, “Infidelite Mado.”

    Oh Gonzalez, btw, good thing you don’t show up at the fair…this town ain’t big enough for the both of us..no but serious, many stands are not open on friday, some 50% I think. That one bag I can carry out already makes me poor and leaves heaps of stuff for buggers like yourself. Better go next time..
