Super Jamono de Dakar – Ndaxami, MCA

If you take a look at our Senegal section ( below left ), you’ll
find that we have some albums by Super Diamono de Dakar. We also
have one by Super Jamano de Dakar. It seems to me, the band’s name
was first Super Jamano, then Super Jamono and finally Super Diamono.
Looking for the release date of this album on the web, I found that
most auction-sites claim it was 1984, one page said late seventy’s.
My instincts say 1979 or 1980, what do you think ?
Nice element on this LP is the use of harmonica, something I like
very much, highly original sound.
And that sweet voice, is that Omar Pene ?

tracks;

1 Ndaxami
2 Yaraal sa doom
3 Mame coumba
4 Souma demee balay jin
5 Jalia
6 Baila

  1. Moos you are a magician, less than a week ago,I discovered that this cassette was also released on vinyl and I was sweeping the web without success to locate it.

    Listen again the album, the unknown voice is Ismael Lo and of course his harmonica.

    Someone of Senegal told me that Endo’s discography many errors in dates, I will ask him to help me and adjust dates.

    And of course thankss you very muchhhh¡

  3. Grumpy is right. I have this cassette with 1984 on the sleeve. I love so much when Omar Pene & Ismael Lo sing together (Yaraal Sa Dom & Mame Coumba are must). I listen this music for years & years (22) and it’s always a great pleasure. Definitely one of my favourite band. Thanks a lot for this rare vinyl version.

  7. Hi, Moos.
    According to my Senegal friend Diamono supporter from the beginning,do not think that 1984 is the year of the first edition of Ndaxami.
    Super Diamono then recorded several cassettes a year, but not as many as listed in the discography of Endo.
    He confirmed with certainty that Volume-Baol and Volume-Casamance came out in 1984 in Senegal.

    Believing remember that Ndaxami cassette was released in 1982 and People in 1983.

    In 1984 they released several albums in Europe and we have a confused chronology, of course the cover of the original cassette Ndaxami is a photo of the group, not the one showing 1984 with the same image of the LP.

    P.D.
    Jamono or Diamono means Generation in Wolof.
