Antoinette Konan’s unassuming ahoko — the traditional instrument of the Baoulé people of the Ivory Coast, which is played by scraping a small piece of wood against a  thin, flexible stick, while a hollow nutshell at the end amplifies and controls the sounds — is surprisingly powerful alongside drum machines and synths, with its acoustic, earthy sound and Konan’s Baoulé vocals offering a pleasant counterbalance to the artificious 1980s staples. At times the 1986 album is a little saccharine (“Enfants Du Monde”, “Evignen”),  but well worth it for its charming dancefloor oddities.
