Here's a wonderful little slice of history from the tiny country of
Guinea-Bissau. From its beginnings in a boy scout camp, Super Mama Djombo
emerged to become one of the country's leading bands during the late '70s
and into the earliest part of the '80s. The 14 tracks here are the
product of their only recording session, in 1980, six glorious hours
that produced some amazing music, including the West African hit
"Pamparida," based on a children's song, a track that made them into
regional stars. But it's only one of the great things here. There's some
searing music, some beautiful singing, and a very electric atmosphere
throughout. There are also some unusual details, like the strange
whistling on "Pansau Na Isna," for example; it's jarring and completely
unexpected, but it works. Across the whole album there's plenty of driving
percussion, always understated, and the guitars offer a mesh of sound that
happily owes little to Congolese rhumba ù the fretwork is harder.
Inevitably, there are Cuban elements in the music, as in the opener,
"Faibe GuinΘ," but the African element is always highly evident ù
"Ordem Do Dia" couldn't be from anywhere else, with its gorgeous guitar
arpeggios and ineffable harmonies. Six of these tracks have never been
released before, making this a vital document of one of the most important
African bands of the late '70s.
