MUSIQUES DU PAYS LOBI
MUSIC FROM THE LOBI COUNTRY
Disques OCORA/ORTF, 1970, OCR 51
This is another album that didn't make it to the present Ocora catalogue. Charles Duvelle (1937-2017) recorded these musics in the field in 1961 in what was called at the time Upper Volta now Burkina Faso.
Side A focuses on Lobi music with three tracks of elong xylophone and singing plus one track with women singing. Side B presents some Gan, Dagari and Birifor music.
As usual the notes are informative enough to understand what's happening.
A very nice album with some exciting and powerful music on the xylophone well recorded.
Text in English (and French).
