Guelewars Band of Banjul: "Tasito" (Gambia, 1980)


I post today a gift from Jammagica blog, the second album from the Guelewars from Gambia. A band which plays afro-fusion, jazz, pysch, funk and mandingo music cocktail sprinkled with senegalese sabar and tama percussions. The singer and composer is Moussa N'Gom and his music is really singular. I also love the psychedelic cover.

Je poste aujourd'hui un cadeau du blog Jammagica, le second album des Guelewars de Gambie, un orchestre au puissant cocktail Afro-fusion, psuch, funk, jazz, mandingue arrosé de percussions sénégalaises tama et sabar. Le chanteur et compositeur est Moussa N'Gom et sa musique est vraiment singulière. J'aime aussi la pochette complètement psychée.
