Invasion
Records Everything started on the basketball court of Korofina, in 1998... The possy Fanga Fing was born. They attract attention and are appreciated in the underground. However no producer is interested by the young group of Rap. Yeli Fu (member of the group), then decides to produce the first single of Fanga Fing: "Bamako City", without suspecting that it was the beginning of Invasion Records. His intention was to produce a single to draw the attention of the producers. He does not know how to go about things. He asks for help, people make him understand that the production is a complicated thing. One day, on the famous basketball court of Korofina, Yeli explains the problem to his friend Aly Diarra. By a fortunate coincidence, Aly has a friend who works in MALI K7 SA (the largest distribution firm in Mali). The two friends go there and they are strongly disadvised to launch out in the production of Rap. However the work of producer is explained to them. Yeli Fu and Aly Diarra decide to produce and distribute the single "Bamako City". At the beginning, nobody considers them seriously, but very quickly, "Bamako City" becomes the best sale of Rap K7 at its release in 1999. It is a total success... "Bamako City" is a hit and Fanga Fing is from now on one of the best groups of Mali. Yeli Fu then decides to create his company of production: Invasion Records. He is helped by his uncle, Mr. Sidi Lamine Sissoko. Of course, he asks his friend to join him in this great adventure. From 1999 to our days... no company of production of Rap in Mali produced so many concerts, so many albums and so many clips as Invasion Records. It is thus not exaggerated to state that Invasion Records has enormously contributed to the blooming of the Malian Rap. (If God will), that is only the beginning. The Invasion started... and nothing will be able to stop it. |
