PS:Magiska rytmer på cd:n Bamba med Orchestra Baobab, blir lycklig av att lyssna. Läs här vad några recensenter skriver om dem:
Orchestra Baobab (om cd:n Bamba)
The most sultry, unbelievably voluptuous band in Africa in the seventies had to be Baobab. With swirling guitars that sound like they are buried in layers of honey, saxophones as sweet, and a rhythm section that just never lets up, this Senegalese crew made a series of recordings in the late seventies and early eighties that have become something of a legend. This is the legendary Afro-Latin psychedelic band at its peak in 1980.
"Baobab is the band that best shows the trans-oceanic link between west Africa and Cuba, sounding more Cuban than most of the Caribbean bands of the era, right down to the timbales and shakers, but with a classic guitar sound that is all African. The sound is so true to its Cuban roots one of radio WPKN's Latin music freaks refused to believe it wasn't a Latino band. Their fusion of rhumba with African drums and Afro-pop is irresistible, each murky guitar riff more enigmatic and enchanting than the last, each squeak of the saxophone more endearing." - Cliff Furnald, RootsWorld
Men jag har ett "svenskt" afrikanskt favoritband också..de heter Makonde och spelar ibland på Fasching. Det är ett band med både afrikanska och svenska medlemmar och leds av Sammy Kasule som i sitt tidigare hemland Kenya var stor stjärna. Min arbetskamrat Christina är deras sångerska. Missa inte deras nästa spelning i Stockholm nu i höst. Jag kommer meddela här när det blir!
