Just One Night by Kiki Gyan: A Funky Little Time Capsule from 1977 Alright, let’s talk about Just One Night, the groovy little gem dropped by Kiki Gyan back in '77. This Dutch funk/soul masterpiece is like that one friend who shows up uninvited to a party but ends up being the life of it. Released on P.V.P. Records, this album screams disco balls, bell-bottoms, and soulful vibes—all wrapped up in a sound so smooth it could butter toast. First off, can we just take a moment for “Chaka”? Yeah, I know—it’s not about the legend Chaka Khan (bummer), but don’t let that fool ya. The track slaps harder than your grandma’s Sunday pot roast. It’s got this infectious bassline that worms its way into your brain and refuses to leave. You’ll find yourself humming it while waiting for your coffee or stuck in traffic. And those horns? Oh man, they hit you right in the nostalgia feels, like finding an old Polaroid pic of your younger self looking fly as hell. Then there’s the title track, “Just One Night.” Now, if ever there was a song made for slow-dancing under crappy neon lights, this is it. It’s sultry without trying too hard, kinda like that cool bartender who doesn’t need to say much to make you swoon. The vocals are silky-smooth, and the rhythm section? Tighter than skinny jeans after Thanksgiving dinner. Honestly, listening to this feels like stealing a few hours away from real life—just you, the music, and maybe someone special…or at least someone with good dance moves. What makes Just One Night stand out isn’t just the tunes; it’s how effortlessly it blends disco swagger with soulful depth. Sure, some tracks might feel a tad dated now (hello, polyester era), but overall, it holds up better than most things from the '70s. Like, remember shag carpets? Exactly. So yeah, here’s the kicker: If you’re hunting for something fresh yet retro, funky yet soulful, give Kiki Gyan’s Just One Night a spin. Just don’t blame me when you catch yourself boogie-ing down in your living room at 2 AM. Oh, and hey—if anyone asks where you heard about it, tell ‘em Kiki sent ya. Or maybe don’t. Your call.

About Kiki Gyan

Kiki Gyan (born June 7, 1957, Takoradi, Ghana  died June 10, 2004, Ghana), also known as Kiki Djan, was a Ghanaian musician. He was the keyboardist of the band which was popular in the 1970's. He also recorded and produced a series of disco records. Hailed as Africa's answer to Stevie Wonder, Ghanaian multi-instrumental Kiki Gyan was a musical Wunderkind who in the 1970's rose from the lowly status of high school dropout to playing keyboards and touring the world with international supergroup Osibisa. Subsequently he enjoyed a lucrative tenure as an in-demand session player in the top recording studios of London - and all of this before his twenty-first birthday. Out on his own, he produced a series of highly ambitious disco records aimed at positioning him as an international star, but weighed down by the excesses of the era. He died impoverished, a victim of AIDS and drugs-related complications.
