Aby Ngana Diop—Liital
Face A
Dieuleul-Dieuleul
Ndame
Yaye Penda Mbaye
Face B
Liital
Sapaly
Ndadje
In lieu of that new cassette deck I am posting something special, which was sent to me by a loyal reader. His laid back assurance that "it's a good tape" might be the understatement of the moment.
The first song conjures drum n' bass circa 1993 lurking in the shadows of the most brutal Senegalese sabar drums Dakar has to offer. And the rest of the tape just gets more astounding. Don't even get me started on Face B. All highly frenetic and joyous and brilliant.
This is the kind of tape for which I reserve a certain level of enthusiasm, one that is so good and left-field that I don't know whether to shout from the rooftops or bury the thing in my backyard.

M.I.T.'s Professor Patricia Tang has also made at least one presentation regarding this genre, and specifically talking about the "Dieuleul" song. If I remember correctly: "take it, take it, take it; if you want it, take it." Those with a scholarly inclination (and the interest) can surely find the published version of that brief paper. Lest I forget to mention: the music is, not just great, but kick ass!

The first track - Dieuleul-Dieuleul is sampled and slowed down at the start of NWA – Express Yourself.
This tape is out of control! Great blog. I think of it often as I wander the tape markets in India. I haven't given into the urge to start digging yet though. I really should buy a tape player soon. peace.

Burn it, bury it kill a chicken and pour its blood over the dirt where this is buried so it never, never comes to life again.

Amazing stuff. I actually have my own copy found in a Senegalese shop on 116th St. in Manhattan (if I recall correctly) a few years ago which I've played on WFMU. I'm not a music blogger but I'm amazed at what unlikely artifacts from my collection are turning up in the blogosphere these days. But this is definitely the right place for this one - one might say definitive (as in awesome)!
She's commanding me to do something, but I don't know what it is. Creepy, hypnotic, the perfect music for my pizza delivery gig. THank you.
