Senegal 70 - Sonic Gems & Previously Unreleased Recordings from the 70s
by Various
supported by 28 fans who also own “Cry Laughter”
What a wonderful surprise it was to hear the Cuban song "El Carretero" on an album of Senegalese music! I'm familiar with the song from a modern hiphop-ified version on Putumayo's "Latin Groove" CD but this older, more traditional recording is pretty special in its own right. There are so many other great songs here, too.
