Afro.Jazz.Folk Collection Volume 1

With the Super Biton de Segou, we literally go back in time we meet in the sixties and seventies : Louis Armstrong in 1960 and Duke Ellington in 1967 during their African tours which marked and gave vocations to countless musicians, the beginnings of amplifed music, RadioBrazzaville and Congolese music infuenced by Cuban percussions or the national artistic and cultural biennials which rewarded the best orchestras in Mali. This frst volume, entitled Afro.Jazz.Folk Collection, brings together a total of 8 emblematic Super Biton titles recorded over the years between 1970 and 1980 and published on his vinyl or cassette albums. Remastered by Raphael Jonin, they represent the trademark of Super Biton, namely a well- balanced mix of electric modernity and enhancement of Bambara cultural heritage while being open to other infuences, such as Cuban music for example.
