Title: Ballakè - Bembeya Jazz National 1973
Added: Jul 26, 2008
Author: AboubacarSiddikh
Duration: 8:20
Description:
Possibly late 1972. April 5th, 1973, singer Aboubacar Demba Camara would die in an automobile accident near Dakar. Rumour has it that sabotage by opponents of Sékou Touré might be the cause, but we'll never know for sure. The dynamics of Demba's voice and of the recording are enormous, so if you are not going to play this at the highest volume possible, better to not play this at all...Hear the depth!! Or at least, what YouTube compression left of it.
