We are delighted to be presenting ‘Radio Masoda’, the brilliant new album by the Cameroonian master musician and composer Franck Biyong. Produced as an inter-African ‘dance’ record and with an impressive list of international collaborators that includes the late Tony Allen, Sandra Nka...

Cameroonian musician Franck Biyong, leader of the band Massak, is the creator of the "Afrolectric" sound. Afrolectric weds Afrobeat to vanguard jazz and electro-driven funk.

As Franck explains – “We conceived this album as a tribute to the classic/golden age of African music, and how Congolese rumba served as a bedrock for artists and musicians all across Africa. There is also an “Afro music library” aspect to the record as it presents influences of many of the African music originators and legends.”

Dedicated to his mentor Manu Dibango, ‘Radio Masoda’ masterfully blends Central Africa’s widely influential Makossa magic with Afrobeat, Congolese rumba and soukous, Ghanaian highlife and other regional styles to create something that sounds both familiar and fresh.

A highly prolific artist, with over nineteen albums released, Franck has explored decades of African music styles with an historian’s detailed eye and an artist’s need to reinvent. His deftness at cherry picking what he needs from traditions and blending them together with contemporary production techniques makes this a record for now.
