about

Introducing the 1st Volume of Super Biton of Segou’s Afro.Jazz.Folk collection, led by Malian conductor Amadou Bah, also known as “The Armstrong Malian”. Mieruba is thrilled to present this collaboration with Deviation Records, showcasing the diverse musical roots of 1970s Mali, combining Afro-Latin percussion, Mandingo songs, jazzy brass, and funky guitar.
.
.
The Super Biton orchestra has been around since the 60s. Like Ségou, the Super Biton orchestra has always set itself apart from what was being done in Bamako and other major African cities.

Ségou is a crossroads between the Bambara, Peul, Mandingo and Somono cultures, and Super Biton has drawn on all these traditions to create a repertoire that is extremely rich in rhythms and lyrics.

The Ségou orchestra developed and integrated amplified instruments that mingled with brass instruments, in particular electric guitars, symbols of modernity at the time. It opened up to Cuban music, with congas and bongos completing the orchestra's sound, as some of the musicians had completed their training in Cuba.

The group developed a unique sound, a perfect balance between tradition and modernity, thanks to its modern, sophisticated compositions.

As a result, Super Biton triumphed at the 1972, 1974 and 1976 National Biennials and has become the best-known and most sought-after Malian orchestra outside the country's borders.

Afro Jazz Folk Collection presents previously unreleased tracks by the legendary orchestra that have been confided to Mieruba by members of the orchestra in order to bring them back into the limelight.

The obsessive searching (in all the best ways) and crate digging pay off once again for the Analog Africa crew! This compilation is a veritable gold mine of crazy good funky riffs with horns aplenty. As with most AA offerings, the music appears to originate from various sources and time periods but the underlying quality of all the tracks is undeniable. Drop the needle and get ready to be enthralled!! blixa00
