afro- cuban music from senegal
popular african music figths the approaching cold days with the release of  three cds filled with hot salsa sounds from dakar, senegal. a double release on october 1st presents the latest album of super cayor de dakar and the first cd- release of  nicolas menheim & le super sabador. october 28th is the release date for a very special recording: los afro salseros de senegal en la habana. somehow - you have to read the booklet in order to find out - 16 musicians of senegal's top afro- cuban orchestras made it to cuba and into the famous egrem studios in centro habana.

pam 208 - ouza & ses ouzettes 1975-1990
this compilation  focuses on the early work of this outstanding singer / arranger / composer from senegal. in the mid seventies he created rhythms that preceded some drum and bass riddims by 25 years but remained pretty much unknown to the western world. on tracks like
guajira, gouye guy or senegal 80 he plays some very relaxed afro- cuban masterpieces and in walo he directly adressed the frech colonial army: "stop the thief!"

pam oa 209 - nicolas menheim & le super sabador - commandante ché guevara
nicolas menheim  was a founding member of africando - before he had worked as a singer with étoile de dakar and number one de dakar. in 1997 he decided to try his luck on his own and set "super sabador". in 1999 they record the 12 tacks on this cd in studio 2000. the songs were released only in senegal on two cassettes "néné chèrie" and "commandante ché guevara". super sabador play fresh interpretations of  classic songs by cuban composers, a new interpretations of tabu ley's "aïnicha" and naturally nico's own compositions.

pam oa 210 - super cayor de dakar - embouteillage (traffic jam)
super cayor de dakar's 2001 release features the tenorsaxophone of maestro issa cissokho (ex- bandleader of orchestra baobab). on top of the 6 songs on the original senegalese cassette you can hear two live recordings of the band.

pam 407 - los afro salseros de senegal en la habana
when i heard in april 2001 about plans to send a group of senegalese salseros to cuba i was very enthousiastic - and very doubtful. but it all happened - and the result is convincing. this cd presents the singers labah sosseh, pape fall, james gadiaga and mar seck. they are accompanied by musicians selected from dakar's leading salsa orchestras. arranger was yakhya fall, ex- bandleader and guitarist of number one de dakar. there is no keyboard, there is no drum kit, but there are two trumpets, issa cissokho' sax, lots of percussion and a grand piano in beautiful dakar tuning.
