Guelewar Band of Banjul - LP : Sama Yaye Demna N'Darr / 1980 Valérie VAL 001
Guelewar Band of Banjul has been further developing the afro-manding sound of Ifang Bondi during a short period in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With strong percussion, a psychedelic tinge, prominent keyboards and saxophones, Guelewar's music is an \"Aha-Erlebnis\", but surprisingly enough, not a single album has ever been reissued on CD, whereas their LPs are sometimes offered at horrendous prices.
