2006 release. Syllart Productions releases the second volume in their African Pearls series of compilations -- a unique 2CD collection of Guinean music circa 1957-1986. "Guinean music was in the vanguard of African music -- it was the musical beacon of Africa." These words by Maestro Mitoura Traoré beautifully reflect the importance and influence of the renowned Guinean bands of the 1960s and `70s. Traoré was a trailblazer as the leader of Horoya Band National, one of the first Guinean bands formed after independence. Horoya Band National, as well as other bands such as Balla et ses Balladins, Kélétigui et ses Tambourinis, and Super Boiro Band were forerunners of the "cultural revolution," whose official objective was to modernize traditional Guinean music and to restore national pride and dignity. This cultural revolution, like many other radical events in Africa during the 1950s and `60s, found its roots in the fight for independence. A diverse collection that includes Kouyaté griot Sory Kandia, female singer-in-exile Miriam Makeba, legendary Guinean saxophonist Momo Wandel, and so much more. Includes a 24-page booklet with full-color photos and notes in English and French.
