This record is no doubt, at least in parts, an attempt to try to reproduce something of the magic from the fantastic Burundi recordings by Michel Vuylsteke from 1967 published by Ocora. In the Inanga e canto it is not up to its predecessor "Chant avec inanga" from the Ocora OCR 40. I will post that record a little bit later. The 17 drummers on this recording are good but the drums are more powerful and the atmosphere is more dense in the tight performance of the group of drummers on the Ocora.

Thanks for sharing yet another rare record, bo! There aren't too many commercial recordings of music from Burundi, so anything we find is most valuable.
Well some years ago there was a bit of a hype with the royal court drummers of Burundi. But else, yes, there is very little to find. I'll see if I can find anything more!
Possible to re-up ?
