丹念な調査に基づいた確かな選曲と資料性の高さで、ワールドミュージック・ファンの注目を集めているレーベル「OSTINATO」、北アフリカ沖カーボベルデ島の音楽をフィーチャーする7inchシリーズ第二弾。今回の主人公はポルトガルのリスボンで結成された  Conjunto Jovens Africanos で、オリジナルは1984年のFunanaのリズムと、ColaZoukのスタイルを、サイケデリックなシンセとギターを隠し味にブレンドさせた土埃舞う底抜けにトロピカルな2曲を収録。
Continuing Ostinato's series of Cape Verde 45s showcasing diasporan bands that are staples in Europe's Cape Verdean communities, Ostinato Records presents timeless dance music for the summer by Conjunto Jovens Africanos, founded by Ze Orlando, a respected producer originally from São Tomé. Formed and originally based in Lisbon, the band fused raw Funaná rhythms from the Cape Verdean island of Santiago with syncopated electric guitars, raucous synthesizers, relentless percussion, and addictive vocals that kept their compatriots on their feet across little known Krioulu nightclubs in Europe's major cities. First released in 1984, Conjuntos Jovens Africanos' "Nhu Jhon" and "Volta Pa Terra" are stellar representations of modernized Funaná's endless energy.
