Well recorded, powerful drumming and singing from Senegal
Description
Sabar - The Soul of Senegal CD, by Omar Thiam:
The Soul of Senegal CD offers refined yet powerful drumming and singing that is uniquely Senegalese. The Sabar drum ensemble is quickly establishing itself as a dominant sound in the exciting music of West Africa. This is the first digital CD released to focus on the Serer ethnic tradition and the first to provide well recorded Sabar singing. Omar Thiam, leader of the ensemble Jam Gugum, is one of Senegal's finest Serer artists.
Reviews: Matt Levoi, world music buyer, HMV records, Cambridge Square, MA: “Sabar - The Soul of Senegal in the best Senegalese percussion CD available. In term of performance, authenticity and recording quality, it may be one of the best recordings to come out of West Africa."
