Some words on this issue: BEMBEYA JAZZ NATIONAL: “La Continuite” (Editions Syliphone Conakry – SLP-61) Original 1977 pressing on the highly renowned and collectible Editions Syliphone label. Bembeya Jazz National is Guinea's most famous band and a giant in West African music. Bembeya Jazz National plays strongly Cuban-influenced music impregnated with infectious Afro-pop rhythms. This Cuban-influence in West African music came about because the slaves sent to Cuba came, in all likelihood, from the Manding area of Guinea and Mali. The rhythmic patterns of the music lie close to each other and Cuban music is hugely popular in West Africa to this day. These players listened to contemporary Cuban rumbas as well as Motown and funk, and drew from both, adding the rumba rhythms and funky orchestrations to a stew of sub-regional traditional music that featured long vocal lines, call-and-response techniques, and eloquent lyrics that drew from a long tradition of using music for moral instruction. But to describe Bembeya Jazz National in those dry terms hardly gets to the meat of the situation. To hear Bembeya Jazz National is an inspiring journey through an exciting musical landscape. Many rate Bembeya Jazz National as one of Africa's best ever bands and rightly so as this recording here proofs.
