4.0 out of 5 stars
Good old-fashioned African guitar pop heaven, June 12, 2003
This review is from: Bembeya (Audio CD)
One of the most significant African guitar bands of the postcolonial era, Bembeya Jazz has re-formed with nearly fifteen years since their last album. On this new recording, the veteran Guinean supergroup prove themselves as capable and sweet-sounding an Afropop band as any out there today. This new set, featuring several older players along with some new recruits, isn't as eerie or electrifying as their signature work from the 'Sixties and early '70s, but it's still pretty darn good. Recommended, particularly for fans of the cascading, melodic guitars of bands such as Orchestra Baobab, et al.
