Sam Mangwana et l’African All Stars, Celluloid 1982

Sam Mangwana started out in the early 1960’s with Vox Africa and
Festival des Marquisards before joining Tabu Ley’s Afrisa. In 1972
he switched to OK Jazz for three productive years before returning
to Afrisa. Eventually he set up a splinter group in West Africa called
African All Stars, with whom he developed a pan-African sound with pop
and Caribbean rhythmic undertones, which has been the basic for a
successful globe-trotting solo career.

    Catching up with these Mangwana uploads from the last re-up…! What a fantastic album this one is – cover vaguely reminds me of Yellow Submarine, but I’d rather play THIS one again & again instead!
