Released in 1981, Warteef Jigeen marks the third album by the pioneering Guelewar Band Of Banjul, renowned for their role in revitalizing and transforming traditional Sene-Gambian music. This influential group, also credited as Orchestre Guelewar De Banjul, helped shape what is now celebrated as the "Afro-Manding-Sound," blending folk traditions with modern influences.
On Warteef Jigeen, Guelewar Band Of Banjul delivers an electrifying fusion of soul and funk, seamlessly intertwined with local rhythms like Boogaraboo and Ndaga. Their defiant commitment to performing in their native Wolof language imbues each track with authenticity and cultural pride, making this LP a standout example of dynamic, forward-thinking West African music.
