Onkwe, Onkwe A, Nkwe Opce Na / Nkweni Y Lah Tu A Nah Ngen

Released on the Sonafric label during the 1970s, this record is a quintessential example of the vibrant Makossa and highlife-influenced sounds emerging from Cameroon during that era. Isaac Monthe utilized the label's platform to contribute to the West African music scene, which was experiencing a period of significant cultural synthesis, blending traditional rhythmic structures with modern instrumentation such as electric guitars and brass sections.

The production reflects the characteristic Sonafric house style, which sought to capture the energy of local dancehalls for both domestic and international markets. Monthe’s work on this release fits into the broader movement of African musicians who sought to modernize traditional sonic landscapes, focusing on rhythmic complexity and socially relevant lyrical themes. The record is now primarily sought after by enthusiasts of the 1970s African funk and pop movements for its raw, authentic production quality.
