Amadou Balaké Vol.3,
Sacodis 1979



















Another West-African musician with a strong tradition in
blending with latin styles is Amadou Balaké. He was born
in Burkina Faso but started his career in Ghana. His break-
through however came in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire where he worked
with Aboudou Lassissi and Sacodis for years, 70's & 80's. Nowadays,
Amadou is a full member of the Africando All Stars. This one
is from 1979 and very mellow. 'Kanan n'djanfa' is like a long
African style guajira, listen.

1 Kanan n'djanfa
