BAMBA, SORRY - SORRY BAMBA DU MALI (1979)

Catalog no.: ASVN0000035
Item ID: 440325
In 1979 Sorry Bamba produced his third LP for the Paris based Sonafric group. Long out of print, that LP is now reissued at last. This six track masterpiece opens with 'Mayel', blending Afro-space grooves, cowbell and swirling organ with psych guitar and punchy horns. 'Kanaga 78' was named after Bamba's band of the time. Sounding as fresh (if not more so) in 2016 as it did in 1979, the hypnotic bass, expansive drums, twisting organ and snakelike fuzz-guitar all combine to create a masterpiece of African psychedelia.
Also available: SORRY BAMBA DU MALI (1976) (LP), SORRY BAMBA DU MALI (1977) (LP).
