Description
TERANGA BEAT proudly presents the ROYAL BAND de THIS in their first ever and entirely unreleased 1979 recording. Singers and composers JAMES GADIAGA & SECKA will guide you through the sweet melodies, wicked rhythms and vocal traditions of Senegalese music, in a fabulous performance that combines MBALAX with AFRO-JAZZ.
While many bands in the world claimed the title of Pacesetters none can stand next to ROYAL BAND de THIS. The 9-member band with its dynamite percussion and horn sections will twist you like tornado! Tracks like “HOMMAGE MBAYE FALL” will take you on a musical journey to the cultural crossroads of Senegal, West Africas meeting point of European, Latin American and African musical traditions. This real-time, two-microphone recording gives the impression that the group is playing live in front of you, making it hard to believe it dates back 33 years ago!
The liner notes of the double gatefold LP and CD booklet include more interesting details, outlining JAMES’s & SECKA’s musical careers along with the past and present of the band.
We hope you will enjoy!
