Francis The Great – Ravissante Baby (Negro Phasing)

2015 Reissue.

Deluxe Lp including interview, photos. 

Rare funk & Avant- Garde soul from a seven years old kid singer featuring best of French and cameroonian musicians , recorded in Paris in 1977. 

The album contains two nicely dramatic tracks . 
“Look Up in the sky” ( Negro nature) is a stretched funk groove with psyche synth by Michel Morose , bubbling bassline by the great Victor Edimo , the famous Toto Guillaume on guitar , and a brilliant poetic song by Francis the great who at that time studied in Menilmontant (Paris) . 
“Ravissante Baby” ( Negro Phasing) is a long hypnotic funky soukous track with a tremendous lead guitar with a long spoken word and soulful kid vocal about the beauty of nature . 

One of the most amazing Afro Funk album ever !
