Since we received many messages from US customers who couldn’t order through Bandcamp (because of tariff issues), we decided to make a small part of the Foots 45 stock available through and .

They both handle US shipping, so no one misses out on this 1984 original pressing FOOTS 45. Still available on our Bandcamp for other customers.

This is why we do what we do ❤️
Nemessio holding his ‘Hey Hey’ 45, freshly reissued 45 years later.
Such a kind soul! And this release even gave him the spark to start writing new songs again at 82 years old. Music comes full circle.

Bandcamp exclusive - 1984 original pressing!

We’re proud to present FOOTS, an Ithaca, NY band formed in the early ’80s. They cut their teeth at Cornell frat parties and local clubs before self-releasing their only 45 in 1984. A blend of funk, boogie & smooth yacht rock with a Steely Dan touch that sold locally but never reached beyond their scene.

Now, 40 years later, we’re offering the authentic original 1984 pressing at a fair price, exclusively through our Bandcamp. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. ⏳

‼️ Please note: due to tariff restrictions, we can’t ship to the United States anymore.

Meet Nemessio, born Víctor Nemesio Lerma in Buenaventura, Colombia (1943).

In 1979 he released Hey Hey and here’s how Nemessio described the moment that inspired the song:
“On a trip to my hometown, I saw a beautiful Afro-descendant woman walking gracefully to the rhythm of marimbas and cununos… I asked her to dance, she smiled, and said the sweetest ‘Hey Sí’ I’ve ever heard. That moment stayed with me and I wrote Hey Hey for her.”

✨ 😎 Swipe to see Nemessio in the 70s, at the peak of his career.

🌴 A hidden gem from Colombia’s Pacific coast ! 🇨🇴

Nemessio’s Hey Hey, originally released in 1979, finally gets a proper reissue, licensed from the artist himself.

A funky slice of tropical Afro-Latin fusion, backed with a brand new disco rework by Barcelona’s GarcyNoise : more drums, juicy guitars, synth solo and extended breaks.

Collectors & DJs, you know what to do.
