Authentique 80 [LP]

Authentique 80 is the debut album by Zani Diabaté's Super Djata Band, one of the biggest orchestras in 1980s Mali. The 14-piece group mixes Wasulu hunter music, griot praise songs, Senufo pastoral dances and Fula and Mandingo traditions with Western psychedelia, blues and Afrobeat. Its six long, guitar-led tracks move between party funk and protest psych. Reissued by Numero Group on black vinyl or limited Authentique Red (Sundried Tomato) colored vinyl.
