Album US 1998 on Palm Pictures label
(Calypso, Jazz-Funk, Ska)
Printed in U.S.A. ℗ & © 1998 Palm Pictures, Inc. Recorded at Pyramide Culturelle Studio 2000 in Dakar, Senegal. Mixed at Click Recording Inc., Yorktown Heights, New York. Mastered at Soundmasters. * A note to audiophiles: On this recording no effects other than minimal reverb were used. "Minuit", "Haayo" and "Midagny" were recorded in a large room. This room was used on the other selections for the Sabar ensemble, the drumset and the Balafon. Another room was used for the guitar, the Kora, the Hoddu, the Bass and the vocals. In order to keep a warm live sound the music was mixed using a vintage 24 track Neve board onto analogue tape. Hence some of the inherent nostalgic hiss. Enjoy! Issued in a standard jewel case with a 12-page booklet. Total playing time 70:20.
