Description

Orchestre Régional de Segou

(self titled)

Pioneers of the 'Afro-jazz' sound, Orchestre Régional de Segou was part of the same Malian explosion that gave rise to the Super Rail Band, Orchestra 'A', and others. With its music inspired by the Afro-Cuban sounds first popularized in the 1940s, this strain of Malian music combines this mature Afro-Latin sound with traditional Malian instruments and styles, building upon the Mande Griot praise singer tradition, along with Bambara and other Malian and Guinean musical traditions. The distinctive sound came from combining electric guitar and jazz horns with soaring Mandinka and Bamabara lyrical lines, African and western drums, and local instruments such as the Kora and the Balafon.

A very hard-to-find and sought after record, this copy is in beautiful condition.
