Product Description

? This 2CD set "Authenticite - the Syliphone Years" features gems from their catalogue, most of which are on CD for the first time, and gives you an insight into the incredible energy of the times. All the great bands are here, with key songs from such legendaries as Bembeya Jazz National, Keletigui et ses Tambourinis, and Balla et ses Balladins. Also here are rare recordings from their contemporaries such as Syli Authentic, and Kebendo Jazz; groups that battled for honours against more than 30 others in Guinea's renowned arts festivals, where a 1st Prize could launch a band to stardom. "The 28 songs collected on this double album range from delightful to downright mind-boggling, testimony to how well musicians can subvert specifications. " JON PARELES The New York Times "an absolute blast " David Hutcheon Mojo Winner of Froots 'best packaged album 2007' Visit Sterns' blog to find out more about the Syliphone label Also for sale as digital download atemusic amazon uk amazon us itunes uk itunes us

By David Johnson VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
A treasure trove of Guinean music. This stunning double CD cronicles the era of the national orchestras in Guinea in the 1960's and early 1970's. You'll find everything here from soulful wistful laments to up tempo funk numbers from the vaults. Bembeya Jazz National are present along with a plethora of other fine artists. The beats shift and change in seconds - Guinean music is characterised by congos, tinny drums and those light, transcendal guitar solos. Brilliant liner notes tell you about the background to the music and the history of the groups.
If you like the music of Orchestra Boabab this will be right up your street.

First-class African guitar music from Guinea 6 Jan 2008
By DJ Joe Sixpack - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is a stunning 2-CD set of Guinean guitar music from the 1960s and '70s, a golden era for West African pop in general, and Guinean music in particular. The music comes from the vaults of the legendary Syliphone label, which recorded the best bands of the time, including first-line bands such as Bembeya Jazz National, Camayenne Sofa, and Pivi Et Ses Balaldins. If you're not already familiar with this music, you should definitely pick this up -- the electric guitars will blow your mind. Great stuff; great collection. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Music Guide)
