Jo Tongo Paris, France
Jo Tongo was born and raised in Douala, Cameroon.
In 1977, he produced and recorded his
debut self titled Jo Tongo in both French and his native Duala language, for the Fiesta imprint. The record is a perfect example of 70's Funk meeting Afrobeat with African folk flavors.
Jo now spends his time between Paris and New York and is currently working on new material.

Claims to be from Mali, but the cover, auto tuned rhymes, and glitchy beats hint at another time and space.
