Although I have read that some people thought Les Safari may have been from Morocco, they were originally from Madagascar.
They moved to France in an attempt to have the same success as fellow Malagasys Les Surfs (who were not a surf band).
They released four records between 1965 and 1967. This record is the second of two singles that they recorded for the French Palmarés label. They would later record two singles for CBS. Before they changed their name to Les Safari, they were called C.C.C. Guitares.
Thanks to Stéphane Leroux-Lemeuier at Encyclopédisque for the information.
Catalog number 1010 M on Palmarés records of France, released in 1966.

Les Jockers were from the island nation of Madagascar which is in the Indian Ocean, off the eastern coast of Africa.
I have not been able to find anything about the band. If you have any information, please contact me.
