Requested albums: Carrousel La Vie est un Mystere [1982], Guadeloupe Reflexions Un Jeudi [1980], VS Quartet A Pot Zou [1986]

 

All of these were requested, and please, go ahead and make more requests because they turn out to be treasures I never heard of oftentimes. 

This stuff is all afro beat jazz from France, 1980s.

Carrousel - La Vie est un Mystere 1982, info here. A long description of this work can be found on that page that begins:

Loy Ehrlich, a multi-instrumentalist, was invited to Reunion in 1977 to join the Caméléons. This group, made up of René Lacaille, Alain Peters, Bernard Brancard, Joël Gonthier, and Hervé Imare, was in charge of the recordings and productions of the Royal studio in St Joseph, which had just been set up at the time.

In 1979 the group Caméléons ceased its activities and, under the motivation and the musical direction of Loy, the group Carrousel was born at the Etang St Leu with Alain Peters on bass and vocals, Loy Ehrlich on keyboards and vocals, Bigoun on drums, Joël Gonthier on percussion, Bruno Leflanchec on trumpet and Zoun on flute.
