Orchestre Du Bawobab – Bawobab 75 (Buur Records – BRLP 001 - Sénégal - 1975)
€290.00 / Sold Out
5th album by Senegalese Afro-Cuban, "Son" and "Pachanga" band formed in 1970 as a multi-ethnic, multi-national club band they adapted the then current craze for Cuban Music (growing out of the Congolese Soukous style) in West Africa to Wolof Griot culture and the Mandinga musical traditions of the Casamance. Some superb afro-latin tunes like "Papa Njaay", "Am Saxul" or "Senegaal Sunugaal" but my favorite remains "Saf Mana Dem" the last track on this rare album that sounds a bit psych funk with the electric guitar and sax.
Record is strong VG+ / Sleeve is EX, close to NM
