The Doudou Ndiaye Rose Family

• 2X VINYL LP GATEFOLD EDITION

The title's a bit stark, but it really gets at the sound of this wonderful record – a double-length set that's overflowing with spare percussive jams recorded in contemporary Senegal! The work is all based around the cultural traditions of the Sabar – but even without any cultural context, there's plenty here to enjoy – as the percussion work is stunning, and usually handled by a group with a strong sense of interplay – maybe a bit in the same territory as Brazilian batucada recordings, but with smaller groupings of players overall. The package features 21 tracks in all

Recorded at Lac Rose, near Dakar, in February 2020.
