Sami Kamara and his Black Diamonds – Songs and Rhythms from Sierra Leone, Afro Request

Sami Kamara, front

Sierra Leone is a country of many languages, part from Creole,
wich is spoken in the capital Freetown and is based on ‘Pidgin
English’, there are also ‘Mende’ and ‘Timini’.
On this album by the Black Diamonds we hear all those languages.
Bandleader Sami Kamara claims that he invented the band’s name
when he thought he tripped over a rock that appeared to be a
Diamond. Great coverpicture, the ladies are singers and drummers
in the group. And how about Sami with his kazoo.

    Thanks for this, Moos. You wouldn’t happen to have the LP listed on the back of the sleeve by the “Biafran Freedom Fighters,” would you? I’ve been looking all over for that one.
