This delightful slice of Senegalese vinyl has no year of
release, but I suspect it to be from somewhere around
1980. Loved Etoile de Dakar ever since I first heard them ..
01 – Thiapathioly
02 – Diankha demal
03 – Footane
04 – Dagotte
05 – Diandioly
06 – Soula sadoome toogne
Likewise for sure. A game changer indeed. Thanks
You’re a mind reader… I was looking for this exact record yesterday over here. Many, many thanks
This is an amazing record. You just make me wanna buy it in the near future.
In a sad note, I don’t know if you heard the news, but Rudy Gomis whose real name is Rodolphe Clément Gomis from the Orchestra Baobab has passed away from a long illness.
May he Rest In Peace.
It seems to be 1980 or 1981:

Sad to hear about monsieur Gomis. We can only hope the great baobab diaspora have it in them to do another tribute set to another lost talent.
