The album, Resurrection Los Vol.
1, was completed in only a few days. There would be no Volume 2. The
music that emerged during the Mango Bar sessions was the culmination of a
fifteen year musical bond between Gabari and Martin, and what was
supposed to be a comeback album ended up being a last testament — Gabari
would die only a few years later and Martin, without his foil, would
never find the same level of musical success. Even at the time, these
two titans of Cameroon's music scene seemed to realise it would be the
last time they would ever work together. The resurrection of Los
Camaroes was short-lived … but it produced a masterpiece.
The Analog Africa Dance Edition reissue of "Resurrection Los" was
designed by Kathrin Remest and remastered by Frank Merritt at the
Carvery and comes with a wonderful poster housed in a deluxe gatefold
sleeve featuring the story of the band as told by original keyboardist
Mbambo "Johnny Cosmos" Simon, as well as new interviews with the
production team who supervised the now legendary Mango Bar sessions.
This essential slab of Cameroon's musical history, previously unreleased
outside of Africa, is available on LP for the first time since 1979.
