Pre-Order Thread

Some big African reissues coming up. Top of the shop is a true Holy Grail - K Frimpong released two of my favourite ever albums but this may be even more special. Only seen one decent copy of it sold and it went for €1000!

I must have seen you post about this record a while back. I heard Orchestra Baobab for the first time a few years ago on the Day of the Dead comp and loved them, so I checked them out. I don't remember seeing this album available for streaming at the time, so I've been listening to just Bamba from 1993, I think, which seems to have a lot of the same tracklist. Can you explain what the difference is? Was it tacked on to another release in '93 for some reason?

Yes, the CD release Bamba is almost two albums spliced together - first five tracks are from Mohammadou Bamba (OG has six in total) and last five tracks from this Baobab Gouye-Gui De Dakar* - Viva Bawobab S1 / Si Bou Odja I have the OG of this but only the record, not the cover. Either way, I can't recommend this release enough - the first two songs are as good as Orchestre Baobab made (and they made quite a lot, all of amazing quality). Here is Spotify link to the compilation

Gotcha, thanks! Yes, that's the compilation I've been listening to for the last year or so. Gonna check out the OG Mohamadou now and potentially get that pre-order. Really love these tunes. Thanks for introducing me!
