Kat Mandu

Denis LePage and Joe La Greca were the brainchild of this Canadian disco group. First LP included the disco classic "The break", which was so popular it continued to be played well into the 1980's and was remixed several times. This was originally issued in the US on T.K. Disco records although the original release was on Canada's Unidisc records. This first album also includes disco classics "Don't stop keep on", "There's only been a few" and "Djaga boogie woogie". Backing vocals included Cissy Houston.

Second album followed in 1980 which was more downtempo and funky, and included the title track "Get crackin'". We also like "Time to get down" and "New world break". This album featured orchestration by Ritchie Rome of the Ritchie Family, who also co-wrote two of the tracks.

The third album Kat Mandu album includes "Hot wax" and was released on Brass records.
