Gatefold double LP version. Includes download code. Teranga Beat proudly presents the second volume of previously unreleased early-'80s recordings by Senegalese band Dieuf-Dieul de Thiès, demonstrating their ability to move from Mbalax to Afro-Cuban and Afro-jazz ballads without losing any of their original psychedelic sound and unique identity. Five out of these seven tracks feature Bassirou Sarr, a truly exceptional singer. Whether he's singing a ballad or some explosive Mbalax, his voice is always full of emotion. One of the two other tunes, a great Latin cover sung by Assane Camara, shows the true skill of Dieuf-Dieul; the other, a powerful Mbalax track sung by the great griot Gora Mbaye, displays his strong links to the tradition of Senegal. These three singers, together with bandleader and guitarist Pape Seck, combined traditional rhythms from all the regions of Senegal with fuzz guitars, horn sections, and hallucinatory percussion to create an explosive mixture of electric psychedelia and the wisdom of local musical traditions. Aw Sa Yone Vol. 2 includes the rest of the recordings from the early-'80s session featured on Vol. 1 (TBCD 017CD, 2013), plus three tracks from a lost 1981 recording. Mastered and mixed from the original tapes. At the time of this release, Dieuf-Dieul are back together for the first time since 1983, preparing for their first international tour to prove that their fame is not merely an urban legend. Bassirou Sarr: vocals; Assane Camara: vocals; Gora Mbaye: vocals; Pape Seck: guitar; Cheikh Ndiaye: drums; Ibou Diallo: bass; Doudou Leo: rhythm guitar; El Hadji Diouf: percussion; El Hadji Ngom: percussion.

Teranga Beat proudly presents Dieuf-Dieul de Thiès in their first-ever edition. Three singers Assane Camara, Bassirou Sarr, and Gora Mbaye, together with their chef d'orchestre and guitar player Pape Seck (an ex-member of Guelewar) compose traditional rhythms from all the regions of Senegal, with fuzz guitars, horn sections and hallucinatory percussion. The result is an explosive mixture of an electric psychedelic sound with the wisdom and superiority of the musical traditions of the region, a crossover of Afro-manding and Afro-jazz, in which each singer guides the 13-member band in a different direction. Even today, this 32 year-old recording sounds futuristic and it is really rather weird that Dieuf-Dieul de Thiès never had the chance to release an actual album. Aw Sa Yone Vol. 1 includes the biggest part of their second recording and included in the package is a booklet with photos and liner notes outlining the group members' careers. There was no other group in Senegal with such a variety of cultural background and a strong identity. Senegalese music at its best.
