"I never tire of those retro sounds of urban Senegal - that era when the city was a melting pot of mbalax, with its babbling tama and snapping sabar, Afro Cuban rhythms and falsetto vocal lines, sultry brass, sparkling Congolese guitar riffs, ringing rhythm guitar, raw Wolof and Manding praise-singing vocals, James Brown swagger, watertight funky basslines and frankly wayward guitar and Hammond organ solos. And with Senegal 70 we have a truly smoking '60s/'70s selection, taken in part from Teranga Beat's Adamantios Kafetzi's digitised collections of reel-to-reel tapes (...) and from some obscure vinyl collected by Analog Africa label boss Samy Ben Redjeb ... Features previously unreleased material from some of the seminal bands (...) and it just fizzes with creativity and euphoria".
