Sam Fan Thomas is a Cameroonian musician associated with Makossa. He began in the late 1960s and had his first hit with Rikiatou. His African Typic Collection would be an international hit in 1984 and is perhaps his best known album.[1] Thomas got his musical break as a guitarist in the Cameroonian band Tigres Noires in the early '70s but left the outfit in 1976 to pursue a solo career. He recorded a remarkable hit with "Afric Typic Collection," a dance number that incorporates a variety of West and Central African rhythms. ~ Leon Jackson, All Music Guide
