We are a record label, specialising in re-issuing outstanding African Music. Stand by for quality releases. Its early 2015.

Welcome to Africa Seven. We are a new record label. We may be based in Paris and London but our hearts firmly rooted in the universal motherland. We love African music, we want everyone to hear it and we want to spread the love. We are a collective of crate diggers, afro music-heads, label spotters and vinyl buying obsessives. We don’t have any particular musical release agenda apart from, “is it

of African origin, does it have a beat?, do we like it?”. For the first few releases on Africa Seven we are exploring a rich seam of creativity and groove from the 70’s. Stand by for re-issues from Manu Dibango, Jake Sollo, Jo Tongo, Pasteur Lappe and Tala AM to name but a few.

Launched in early 2015 by a collective of crate diggers, Afro music-heads and vinyl-buying obsessives, Africa Seven's aim is to spread the love and knowledge for African music in all its forms. In the wake of this effort, Afrosonique Vol.1 is the ideal first installment of a series of compilations bridging African songs from the '70s and '80s with the most talented artists of today into a remix and re-edit series.

Compiled by the legendary UK producer Tony Thorpe (Moody Boyz, KLF), one of the most important figures of the UK dance underground movement, the album brings together a rich ensemble of producers and artists from different genres and music scenes.

In 2023 we had the pleasure of visiting .bebey.amayajazz (Son of Francis Bebey) in the south of France, to personally pick up a large collection of 1/4" tapes stored at his house, which had been gathering dust.

After having dinner with his wife, we were discussing names around the table for his late fathers new compilation album. Whilst setting up his Revox tape machine to listen through the collection
The french word "trésor" (translates to "treasure" in English) came up. This is exactly what we found hidden in the magnetic iron oxide particle layers within the tapes. Thus the album title was created - Trésor Magnétique.

22/04/2025

We are excited to announce the upcoming release of Francis Bebey's Trésor Magnétique, coming May 23rd. This album brings together a collection of unreleased tracks and archival gems, capturing Bebey’s innovative blend of Afro-funk, electronic sounds, and Cameroonian rhythms.

An underground afro-boogie essential!

Originally a Cameroonian actor and artist, Momo Joseph only released one album — and it’s a stone-cold classic. A fusion of funky Parisian synths, deep Afro rhythms, and boogie grooves that still sound ahead of their time.

With standout cuts like "War For Ground" and the cosmic "Love Africa Soul", this LP channels the energy of 80s Paris nightlife with unmistakable Cameroonian flair.

Africa Seven proudly reissued this rare gemz
A one-album wonder, and what a wonder it is.

Born in Douala, Cameroon, Jo Tongo left for Paris in the '60s to study pharmacy… but music had other plans.

By 1968, under the name Jojo L'Explosif, he was releasing fuzzed-out funk and collaborating with legends like Manu Dibango, Tala A.M., and more.

In 1977, he dropped his self-titled debut Jo Tongo — a masterpiece of Afro-funk, Duala rhythms, and Parisian groove, co-produced by the great Slim Pezin. From the irresistible "Jangolo" to dancefloor gems like "Piani" and "A’Muna", every track slaps with style and swagger.

Reissued by Africa Seven in full glory.

Jo now splits his time between Paris & NYC — still making magic, still way ahead of the curve.

Cameroonian multi-instrumentalist and cousin of Manu Dibango, Charly Kingson delivered a standout Afro-disco LP recorded in Munich. Produced by Klaus Weiss, the album blends analog synths, funk-infused brass, and soulful rhythms. The title track pays homage to African musical legends, encapsulating the album's vibrant energy. Reissued by Africa Seven, this essential record is available now.
