"Latin music, is it really foreign to us Africans? I don't think so. Listen to the drums, to the rhythm. It all seems very close to us ' it feels like it's our own culture,' declared enigmatic singer Amara Toure. If Toures intention was to create the most sensual music ever recorded in Africa, he might very well have reached this goal. The musicians on the recording sound like they are playing in a smoky, poorly lit juke joint, where dark rum was sipped ever so slowly, and the pulse of the music took up a life of its own. How many couples have danced, swayed, and melted together to the distinct sound of Amara Toure Nobody can say for sure ... Double LP pressed on 140g vinyl, includes unlimited streaming of Amara TourÈ 1973-1980 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more
