What have we got for you today ? A rare Senegalese album by
Orchestre du Bawobab ( Boabab ). Strange thing about this LP is
the fact that side one contains 5 tracks while the sleeve only speaks
of 4. Now I don’t understand a word of Wolof or whatever language
they sing in here. Listening really good made me gamble a bit.
Track 1 & 2 are most certainly tagged as they should. In track 5,
I think I hear the word ‘Wango’ a few times so that leaves 3 & 4.
One of those tracks must be ‘Sama xol bul dem’ and the other is
unknown. I just gambled and suggest track 4 is the unknown factor.
I might be wrong, if anyone can clear up this matter, that would be great.
If I mistake you should all rename the tracks in the right order and so.
One way or the other, this is a fine piece of Senegalese music history.
P.S. I found a tracklist on the web that tells us track 1 is called
‘Seeri Takama’, a name that does not appear on the sleeve at all.
Could that be the missing track ?
Hope you enjoy !

Hmm, well, the second cut (“Adduna Jarul Naawo”) appears to be the same song that is called “Dée Moo Wóor” on the Nonesuch disc Specialist in All Styles (2002).
That’s not much help, is it?
Also, cut 3 (“Sama Xol Bul Dem”) is the same song as the one called “Sama Rev” on the Africando disc Tierra Tradicional.
This album was posted with eight songs by Oro, after comparing it, trying to find the mysterious track.
I find that one theme stuck after (Adduna Jarul Naawo) sung in Spanish and Wolof is (Bul dem Sama Xol)
If I’m right “Sama Xol bul dem” My heart I will not leave you, and then comes the theme (Yanfa Magni) in Mandinka, something like the grudge is bad.
Just to say track 4 is called “Kanoute”, I shall check the other tracks and let you know.

Just to let you know the rest are what you say they are.
And what a fine album from a band at the top of their game.
Wonderful stuff.
Toto
