Some of the most important music to come out of Senegal was made by this band in the 1980s, and this 2 CD set captures the epic original release as well as adding a second disc of unreleased material.

"The group seems to play so effortlessly and gracefully, and they form an instant, seamless groove that will satisfy for many, many listens. Indeed, the original release proved so popular (yet difficult to obtain) that it earned the moniker "Pirate's choice". Six tracks from this session were originally released by World Circuit in 1989 and have now been remastered and re-released... This CD set will not disappoint and will undoubtedly become a true classic. It's an absolute must for all lovers of African music. - Graeme Counsel, RootsWorld ( Read the full review)

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.
