Dead Land LP

Efiem Lily

Safari Ambiance, France ???

I have been listening to this so much that it feels like a classic to me. But a classic it is not. I'd say this was largely forgotten until two or three years back when it sold on eBay. Efiem Lily a.k.a. Oyana Efiem Pelagie put out 3 records, however this is the only that departs from a modern soukous sound. Dead Land favors a digital funky style while maintaining some "traditional" elements.

Efiem sings in both French and what I am guessing could be Gabon's "second" language, Fang. All of her records were pressed in France, but lately she was featured on a compilation of female Gabonese musicians. So anyway, with this record you can't really go wrong. Please listen to the clips and you will likely agree. "Prends Courage" is my personal recommendation :)


This one is graded Very Good Plus in both vinyl and sleeve. A solid copy. Images and audio clips are from the copy for sale.
