Carthago: Rare Tunisian Disco Including Unreleased Instrumentals And Eight Page Booklet.
Carthago created some incredible music in the form of an highly infectious Tunisian take on disco music. Carthago was founded in the late 1970s as a fusion of Dalton and a second band called Marhaba Band. Both bands frequently played at hotels and night clubs in Tunis and Sousse. They had similar musical influences and despite the fact that they were competition for the most part, they came up with the idea to join forces for a new band. Musically Carthago kept on walking on the musical path of Dalton and Marhaba but incorporated disco music, a new style that was making its way to North Africa from Europe and North America. The band had quite some success on local radio and played a number of big shows with thousands of people showing up. The band's concerts were a mixture of their own compositions as well as cover versions of the hits of the time from Stevie Wonder to Chicago. At the end of the 70s they went to Paris to record their only, self titled album. Luckily they did not only keep a spotless copy of the Carthago album but also kept the master tape of the instrumental versions of the album which to this day were unreleased.
