Star Band de Dakar - Psicodelia Afro-Cubana de Senegal (2019-Senegal)


 

"Some of the mightiest Senegalese Afro-Cuban tracks the world has ever heard" BBC 

2019 marks the 60th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, when the Cuban way won hearts, minds, and ears across Africa. This album is the soundtrack to a time when Cuban music was the future for 1970s Senegal. Changüí, Guajira, Salsa, and Son mingle with cosmic Mbalax guitars, Sabar rhythms, Afro-Latin horns, and Spanish vocals spiced with a Senegalese twang. The finest gumbo of Cuban and Senegalese sounds. With just two microphones and a four-track Revox tape recorder, Star Band recorded their entire catalog in Dakar's iconic Miami nightclub. Each album contained one stand-out Afro-Cuban tune. Six of Star Band's most psychedelic Afro-Cuban tracks, an ode to their finest hour, are selected here. Check the  "Andado" & "Le Lolaye". Link

Wayne Wallace Latin Jazz Quintet - Bien Bien (Patois Records, 2009)


The music with clave that began with Machito’s “Tanga,” and George Russell’s “Cubana-Be Cubana-Bop” has come a long way. With clave in his soul, trombonist Wayne Wallace proves yet again on his record Bien Bien! that the cheer of the music is truly infectious. Wallace is rare among musicians who can “swing” as well as he can “clave.” He has that and all kinds of shuffle rhythms and backbeats bubbling under the skin. This is why he can produce such glorious music even with just a few notes on his ‘bone and this record is full of it. 2010 Grammy Nominee for Best Latin Jazz Album!
