Afro.Jazz.Folk Collection Volume 2

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 second volume of the Afro.Jazz.Folk Collection brings together 11 unreleased vinyl titles recorded by Super Biton between 1970 and 1980. Remastered by Raphael Jonin, these compositions represent the trademark of Super Biton, namely a clever dosed mix with electric modernity and promotion of Bambara cultural heritage while being open to other infuences, such as Cuban music for example.
