Les Maxel's Le Retour de Toto

Atangana Records’s back with its second release, once again a long-awaited reissue, once again digging into the Caribbean music with a classic track from Les Maxel’s (from Guadeloupe), “Le Retour de Toto”. As usual, the remastered tune comes with a remix and a B2 “just” coming with the remixer’s add parts.
Originally out in 1976, “Le Retour de Toto” on Disques Debs International is a brilliant dancefloor killer, magnifying the cross-world between zouk and latino music, biguine and calypso. You can hear from the prominent hi-hat all the energy of the dance moves you could improvise on that kind of joint. With a lot of break, wonderful horns and backing vocals, “Le Retour de Toto” will enjoy all the summer dancefloor and airwaves for some time…
Deni Shain says : “When we discovered this gem with my friend Likkle Ben, over a night of digging, it’s mainly the keyboard break that drove us nuts! We were already hearing the edit that we’d make for our gigs… It didn’t take long for me to contact the family of Henry Debs, introducing Atangana’s project. They loved it, and at that time I went to studio with my friend Papastomp to start remixing it… I love how we added step by step the addparts, giving respect to the original tape… “
