Looks like another fantastic post – I’m particularly looking forward to hearing the Star Band’s treatment of those Cuban number. Could you check the mediafire link – it’s not going to the download page. Much appreciation as always – mambopete

Ooops, missed a symbol, it should work now..

Last week, I accidentally threw away my webstatistics history. A very stupid thing to do. I now managed to re-install a statistics counter but I had to start counting all the way from zero again, shame..
is there a way to get back my old stats ? who knows ?

een klapper moos dat was zeker ook de prijs van de lp!!! Utrecht kennende.

Ben niet geweest moest werken helaas.
Altijd leuk zeker op vrijdag en zaterdagochtend en lekker ouwehoeren met andere vinyl verslavenden.

Daan.

Very nice! I remember this band was my first meeting with African music.
About 15 years ago I lived some months in Groningen. There was a little record store/company there that published this music on CD. Forgot the name .. I was struck by the modest and tranquilizin’ tunes – so much played with passion and soul.
I was at the fleamarket in Rotterdam this afternoon. Best findings were records of the “Havenzangers” and “Corry and the Rekels”. Also nice .. :(
Some guys have all the luck ..

How do you like that ? I am investing for your pleasure, I must be crazy but still…
love to do it..

Nangadef!
I found this incredible LP this year in senegal… Mine has a stamp on the back: “Discotechnique Kasse – Rue de Reimes x Malick Sy – Dakar” Do you know if this was Ibra Kasse studio? (my LP would be Ibra Kasse own copy?!!!) Do you have info about this? (Moos, may be you have other LPs with such a stamp…).
Anyway, i dont really care, it’s really great senegalese music as I love… (senegalese latin rythms… including “Mane Kouma Khole Thiyove” hit).
For those who have chance to go to dakar and who love latin and african musics, i strongly advise “Pape Fall & African Salsa” in live; you would be hit by this unique mix of cubano integrating senegalese rythm and flavour (imagine a latino combo with sabar, and snengalese soulfull voices singing aproximative spanish!), perfect with atmosphere of old school dakar clubs…
(special bonus: as they are friends sometimes Pape invites for a set Bala Sidibe, ex-Baobab in late 70s).
Big up to Roger for his vibrating solos during last concert i saw (trumpet player from cameroun, ivory coast, now living in senegal … but that’s another story…)
Sunugaal bakhna!!!

(moos: global thank for all your posts, it’s my first comment even if i follow GG since a time, but it to encourage you to post more from senegal! ;-)

Thanks a lot for this beautiful music. I’ve got the Etolie De Dakar vols 1-4 and this is even better!
Cheers

Fantastic! 20 years ago I bought a copy of this album in a plain paper sleeve (cost me 50p in a well known vinyl exchange). Now I know what the sleeve looks like!

Moos, a few days ago I watched he film Xala of Ousmane Sembene, where we can see the Star Band, and we can relive the atmosphere of that time.

This album and the film forms a unique combination.

Many thanks for this extraordinary gift.

Interesting article you got here. I’d like to read something more concerning that theme. The only thing I would like to see on that blog is a few pics of some gizmos.
