Following to this former post, I wanted to share with you for today “Yumbeye“, Β a deep bouncy 70s West African Psychedelic Mbalax Fusion Jazz Funk track from Senegal with crazy organ parts, taken from the first album of the Senegalese band “ππ πππ₯π𦔠founded in 1965 by the songwriter & guitarist Sakhir Thiam.
By the time, the members of the group have changed several times, including legendary artists as Idrissa Diop, Cheikh Tidiane Tall and Thierno KoitΓ©.
This LP includes the following musicians :
Georges Dieng (solo Guitar) ;
Sanoussi Sidibe (Rhythm Guitar) ;
Serge Alvez (Bass) ;
Henry Guillabert (Organ) ;
Moussa Diongue (Vocals) ;
Ibrahima Conudoul (Vocals) ;
Xalifa Cisse (Congas, Vocals) ;
Abdou Mboup (Percussion);
Prosper Niang (Drums) ;
Tonia Lo (Saxophone, Vocals) ;
Cheikh Diop (Trumpet) ;
Jean-Pierre Gandour (Guitar, Vocals) ;
Recorded live in June 1975 at “Le Sangomar” night club in the city of Thies, you can really feel you can really feel a special energy emanating from this beautiful album.
And we didn’t mention this gorgeous cover !
Highly recommended album from start to finish, hope you’ll like it, enjoy !
