Об альбоме (сборнике)
Sekou Toure, the first president of the west African state of Guinea, is remembered more kindly by musicians than by his political opponents. He set up state-funded bands to write modern songs based on old styles. In this wildly varied double album, there's the celebrated Bembeya Jazz, mixing Latin and local styles in their joyful tributes to both the great guitarist Sekou Diabaté and the Guinean army. Then there's the griot Kouyate Sory Kandia with a reminder that Guinea was once part of the 13th-century Malian empire. And there's rolling, upbeat guitar and keyboard jazz from the Super Boiro Band, and even a track from South Africa's greatest female singer, Miriam Makeba. An intriguing compilation.
A 2CD overview of work from the years of Guinea's cultural revolution -- a time when the government sought to unify and direct the newly independent nation through a host of regional and national musical programs! Although potentially domineering, the rare effort was actually somewhat liberating - and allowed Guinean musicians to hit a whole new level of expression during this time - modes that weren't necessarily bound towards commercial aims, and which are filled with sophisticated rhythms, melodies, and horn passages that go far beyond some of their African contemporaries. There's many echoes of jazz amidst the tunes - and in a way, some of these numbers remind us of the more free-thinking moments in work by artists like Mulatu or Salah Ragab - especially in the way the horns interact. 2CD set features notes in both English and French - and a total of 25 tracks that include "Sassilon" by Horoya Band, "Armee Guineenne" by Bembeya Jazz National, "Tam Tam Sax" by Momo Wandel, "Bele Bele" by Kade Diawara, "Koulandian" by Ensemble Instrumental De Guinee, "Kadia Blues" by Orchestre De La Paillote, "Diere Lele" by Bah Sadio, "N'Fa" by Virtuoses Diabate, "Massani Cisse" by Quintete Sextete, and "Andree" by Sily Authentic.
