Wow! Nice one .... what a cool blog. All the best African music just comes out on tape .... apparently there's tons of Youssou/Etoile albums that are utterly unlike the rubbish he puts out internationally but you can only get them on tapes in Dakar.

So after spending a few hours trawling the net for Super Rail Band De Bamako recordings i get a smack in the face to find out they played last week in...in Sandycove Seafront....in Dublin.....

This could be a notch above Awesome tapes from africa for its Hi-life/Afro-beat content, opposed to ATFA's more trad based records.
