#3 - Mathey

The music of this full-breasted lady from Ivory Coast sounds a bit like Monique Séka, but is more special. For me in particular. I remember when I bought it in Cocody, Abidjan, when I took a walk with my Ivorian girlfriend in the summer of 1996. Well, the relation didn't last long, but some years later I found another album of Mathey in Bruxelles, called Clépo. Still I find this old cassette Anzi sounds better than her later work. That counts for the visual on the pochette too.
