Sonodisc

Sonodisc (a contraction for Société nouvelle de distribution de disques), or simply spelled SonoDisc, was a French record label established in 1970 by former Ngoma's staff members Marcel Perse and Michel David in Paris.

It distributed albums and cassette tapes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Egypt, Algeria, the Republic of the Congo, the Caribbean, Armenia, Tahiti, India, Latin America, Italy, and other overseas territories.

Between 1991 and 1998, SonoDisc transmuted the entire Congolese vinyl catalog into 103 CDs within the African label in the 36, 500 series.

[16][10] In 1994, Marcel Perse expressed concerns about the decline in revenues in Africa because of rampant cassette piracy.

[10] However, the company faced financial insolvency in 2005, leading to its acquisition by The Adageo Group, specifically, Suave Music/Redbay.
