media : EX-/EX (slight surface noise in some places, a few very faint, small hairlines that do not affect playback, A3: some crackling noise in parts)
An album released in 1983 by Thione Seck, a national singer/musician from Senegal, Africa, alongside Baaba Maal and Youssou N'dour. From Syllart Productions, which has released many high-quality African music works. The most amazing track is A3. This masterpiece includes A3, an emotional and spiritual Afro-dancer with a uniquely bouncy and complex percussion rhythm, sorrowful electric piano and guitar melodies, and gorgeous horn sections, as well as excellent tracks with colorful sound production that highlight Seck's vibrant and extended vocals, which inherit the roots of griot, the oral traditional music of West African countries such as Senegal and Mali. Highly recommended.
