$12.00
Catalog #:
AF 010CD
2007 release, restocked at a new lower price. "A fantastic new label, their first release highlights the many sounds from Yorubaland from the '30s to the early '50s. Yorubaland is a huge area of tribal land covering western Nigeria. The songs on this CD give a strong hint of the music to come from this rich and diverse nation. CD comes packed with historical data and photography."

Title:
Ouaga Affair: Hard Won Sound Of The Upper Volta 1974-1978
Label:
SAVANNAPHONE (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
AF 012CD
Now available as a CD, featuring all 15 tracks on the (now deleted) 2LP and a 20-page booklet. Stunning collection recovering releases from CVD and Volta Discobel, two of the Upper Volta's (now known as Burkina Faso) first indigenous record labels. Features the outstanding Super Volta (with singers Cisse Abdoulaye and Sandwidi Pierre), the prolific Harmonie Voltaique orchestra's blistering Latin-Mossi track "Nwendaramba" and the downbeat moral tale of "Kulig Runde," the unparalleled voice of Amadou Ballake and his group Les 5 Onsuls, the heavy rhythms of Super Mande, and more. An essential document of the raw, eccentric sounds of the Upper Volta's golden age, produced in the turbulent environment waged by the country's oppressive government.
