The sensemble says of itself:
Hands-down, the world's leading African-Hungarian jazz band. "Dallam" means melody in Hungarian and "Dougou" means land or city in a bunch of West African languages, such as Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. Raul & the band are thrilled to release this new collection of African-Hungarian classics.
The elected officers of Dallam-Dougou are:
Raul Rothblatt: (cello & bass), mayor and groundskeeper
Abou Sylla: (balafon), ambassador to Guinea and America, Director of Verbal Communications (i.e. Blah Blah Blah)
Kálmán "Öcsi" Magyar: (fiddle & kontra), ambassador to New Jersey and Hungary, CEO of Legal Affairs for Dancers from Central and Southern Europe, Sub-Assistant to Csenge
Tsafrir Lichtenshtein: (drums), Director of Funny Bandanas
Avram Fefer: (clarinet & alto sax), ambassador to jazzworld, Director of Philosophy and Propaganda

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
