Info:

A Really Well Done Compilation Ð The First Of What Looks To Be A Great Label From Dakar! This Well Researched, Fully Annotated Collection Brings Together Rare Work By Idrissa Diop Ð A Great Range Of Early 70s Material Done Before His Relocation To France, Lots Of It With A Great Blend Of Senegalese And Cuban Elements! The Rhythms Are Wonderful Ð Really Spinning Out In These Hypnotic Ways, And Often Encouraging A Bit Of Descarga-like Jamming From The Musicians, Especially On The Longer Tracks Ð And The Full Notes In The Set Really Helps Put The Music In Context. Titles Include -caridad-, -kaele-, -massani Cisse-, -fonkale Garape-, -gueth-, -yaye Boye-, -cintorita-, And -dioubo-.
