André-Marie Tala (Cameroon 1973) - Hot Koki

Uploaded by Dirty4Harri on Nov 29, 2010
This track is a lesser known example of plagiarism by an American musician of an originally African tune. Tala, a well known singer in early 70's Congo, made a demo of this song and passed it to James Brown when he toured Cameroon. Seemingly the Godfather liked it a lot, because he re-recorded it and released it as his own song, the single 'Hustle'. In doing so, he took all credit for composing. Tala got wise and sued Brown, and he actually won the case! Another well known example of plagiarism plus succesful court case is Michael Jackson's use of a Manu Dibango phrase ('Mamase mamasa mamakosa') in the early 80's.

Songs like this brings back memories of a childhood spent on the foothills of mount Cameroon. I had a delicious serving of Koki corn only last week at my aunt's in exotic Dagenham, a million miles from the ancestral home of this dish, San Nzoh where the ethnic Mbo tribe have perfected this staple for a millennia. Tala may be blind but his taste buds betrays his penchant for good food. Bravo Tala

Talla is from Cameroon and actually my tutor's neighbor in Bandjoun, the Western Province of the Country. Something that James Brown didn't get about the song is that talla in this song, Talla is valuing the "hot Koki" ( a Local meal from the West Cameroon)comparing to their non organic spaghetti or MacDonald's that make people fat
