At last, here's a reissue of the third album by the Guelewar Band Of Banjul, a group that presented a new approach to the traditional Sene-Gambian music, known today as the Afro-Manding-Sound. The album was first released by the French Discafrique label in 1981. An explosive mix of soul and funk with local rhythms like Boogaraboo and Ndaga combined with a defiant insistence on singing in their local language Wolof. They certainly blew a young Youssou N'dour away as he cites them as his biggest influence.
Also available: WARTEEF JIGGEN (CD).

VISITORS (NIGERIA) - MY GOOD FRIENDSThe least known name - but arguably one of the best bands - on Ben Ononkwo's Clover Sound label was The Visitors. For a short, sweet time between 1975 and 1978, The Visitors created the most righteous sounds in the east of Nigeria. We're talking deep Afro-funk with generous ... read more » |

SOLLO, JAKE - COMING HOMEIn 1977 Jake Sollo returned to Nigeria to record his first solo album 'Coming Home'. His long-term band The Funkees had imploded in London and his big break with the Afro super band Osibisa was cut short when he went on strike with Kiki Gyan and promptly got sacked. 'Coming ... read more » |

DANDY, TREVOR - DON'T CRY LITTLE TREEA gentle album full of consoling tunes, more or less in the vein of Cat Stevens' 'Morning Has Broken', but with a bit more soul (although this association might be caused by the insistent use of piano on this record). This ultra-rare pearl of funky gospel music was the ... read more » |

KELENKYE BAND - MOVING WORLDReissued on CD, 1974's 'Moving World' is a holy grail of Ghanaian groove alchemy. The title track and 'Brotherhood Of Man' are hard, grinding funk outings, while 'Jungle Music' has a more soulful groove. There's also a bit of reggae in 'Dracula Dance' and old-skool highlife ... read more » |

GYAN, KIKI - FEELIN' ALRIGHTKiki Gyan's star didn't burn long, but it burned bright. Drafted into the Afro funk super group Osibisa at age 15, he was millionaire by 18 and regarded as one of the best keyboardists in the world by 21. In 1983 he dived head first into the New York party scene. He took a ... read more » |
