BELLE EPOQUE-BAMALAMA-1978-THE FIRST PRESS OF SWEDEN-CARRERE-7C062-18299. A rare Scandinavian original of the second album of the famous disco band. Bamalama is the second album by the French disco project Belle Epoque, released in 1978 by the French company Carrere. The album Bamalama was recorded in October-November 1977 at New York's Sonyland Studios, and mixed in London. Bamalama appeared on sale in akurat for Christmas, a favorite marketing technique, because during this period people are overwhelmed by the irresistible itch of shopping. The Bamalama album contains almost all the material of their own composition - Evelyn Lenton and her brother Albert Weyman, with the exception of short quotes from rock and roll classics in a Bamalama medley. The album and the single Bamalama were a great success in Europe and Asia. In the States, the band was still not promoted at the record level. Belle Epoque was popular in the disco clubs there thanks to the trendy DJs, who sometimes even signed up the band to perform live in the most famous clubs and discos in the USA.
