Bongo Joe Records, also known as Les Disques Bongo Joe, is a record label based in Geneva, Switzerland. It was established in 2015, and focuses on global music releases.

History

[edit | edit source]

Bongo Joe Records was founded in 2015 by Cyril Yeterian (who owns a record store of the same name in Geneva) and Vincent Bertholet.[1][2] The label is named after Bongo Joe Coleman, an American street musician.[3] Artists that Bongo Joe have released include Altın Gün, Meridian Brothers, and Yīn Yīn.[4]

In 2025, Bongo Joe released the compilation album 2015–2025 Les Disques Bongo Joe: 10 Years of Sonic Explorations to celebrate a decade since their founding.[5]

Reputation

[edit | edit source]

WOMEX named Bongo Joe one of the 20 top independent record labels of 2023.[6] In a review of Bono Joe's 10 year anniversary compilation album, Stephen Dalton of Uncut wrote that "much of Bongo Joe's catalogue also serves as valuable cultural archaeology, shining a contemporary spotlight on category-defying "post-world" music."[2] PopMatters wrote that "an inarticulate harmony and a tasteful eclecticism hold their discography together."[7]
