    Brilliant, bombastic and beautiful, this recording of Aby Ngana Diop's only cassette is one of the most unique recordings I've ever heard. Senegalese music that combines mbalax, tassu (rap-like traditional stylings) and a dash of what sounds like drum n' bass.

  • Cassette + Digital Album

    Limited edition pressing high bias tape of this very surprising and powerful recording from Senegalese tassukat Aby Ngana Diop. Released in 1994, this cassette completely floored me when I first heard it many years later (a radio dj on the eastern seaboard mailed it to me a few years ago and i blogged about it).
