Star Number One (Senegal, 1976)


Orchestra "Star Number One" was founded in 1975 by Papa Serigne Seck. Papa Seck is known to be the godfather of M'Balax. This album has been released in 1976 and the title "Jangaake" is pure diamond.


En 1975, Papa Serigne Seck décide de quitter le célèbre orchestre Star Band de Dakar, fondé en 1964, pour rejoindre l'orchestre Star Number One. Il fût le premier à introduire des instruments traditionnels sénégalais comme les sabars et tama (talking drum) dans la musique afro-cubaine. Auteur, compositeur, saxophoniste et chanteur, Papa Seck, amoureux de latin-jazz et connu pour avoir inventé le style M'balax. Cet album est sorti en 1976 et le morceau "Jangaake" est une pure merveille.

Un grand merci pour cet album Pour moi Liti Liti est un classique il tourne en boucle depuis une heure lol il a plus ou moins la la même couleur que Dée Moo Wóor d'Orchestra Baobab pour ceux qui connaissent.
Un grand merci en tout cas pour nous permettre de découvrir ces perles rares.
