4 years in the making, in partnership with Teranga beat the current leading label for Senegalese music, Analog Africa proudly offer an insight into the musical adventures that were taking place in the major Senegalese cities during the 60s and 70s. This compilation, reflects the unique fusions of Funk, Mbalax, Cuban Son and Mandigue guitar sounds that transformed Dakar into West Africa's most vibrant city.It all started in 2009 when Adamantios Kafetzis travelled from Greece to Senegal with a brand new tape machine that he used to digitise the musical treasures he had discovered in the city of Thiés. These treasures took the form of reel tapes, and had been recorded by sound engineer Moussa Diallo, who had spent the previous four decades immortalising, onto magnetic tape, the bands that would perform in his club, the legendary Sangomar.
300 Senegalese songs that nobody had ever heard before were discovered - five of them were selected for this compilation.
Thanks to its history of outside influences, Senegal - the western point of Africa - had become a musical melting pot. Cuban and American sailors had brought Son Montuno from Cuba, Jazz from New Orleans and American soul tunes: sounds that were swiftly embraced and adopted by urban dance bands and intuitively merged with local music styles.
One band in particular excelled at this fusion. 1960 marks the formation of Star Band de Dakar, a milestone that left an indelible imprint on Dakar’s musical landscape. Indeed, the whole country was soon grooving to their intoxicating mixture of Afro Cuban rhythms and Wolof-language lyrics.
The 1970s brought a new generation of stellar bands; Le Sahel, Orchestre Laye Thiam, Number One de Dakar, Orchestra Baobab, Dieuf Dieul de Thies and Xalam1 who fused traditional Senegalese percussion instruments such Sabra, Tama and Bougarabou with organs and keyboards, giving birth to new hybrids. Merging the folkloric and the experimental, these sounds, embraced by the youth, took centre stage and gave the previously dominant Cuban music a run for its money.
With this burst of musical and artistic creativity, driven predominantly by the modern vision of President Senghor, Dakar began attracting international stars. The Jackson Five, James Brown, Tabou Combo (Haiti), Celia Cruz (Cuba) and an array of African stars like Tabu Ley Rochereau (Congo), Manu Dibango (Cameroon) and Bembeya Jazz (Guinée) joined in with the local scene, improvising jam sessions and bringing new flavours to a music scene that was always open to new inspirations and influences. Johnny Pacheco immortalised his passion for the city with a song called "Dakar, Punto Final".
The comprehensive booklet that comes with the CD - 44 pages and with the Double LP - 12 pages LP size - is a precious document attesting to the decades of transformation that led to modern Senegalese music. Featuring biographies of music producers and a legendary record cover designer, as well as the life stories of all the groups represented here, the booklet also includes a fantastic selection of photos that have never seen before.

Engineered PERFECTLY!!!
Size: Queen, Style: With Headbroad
So the reviews are pretty accurate, this bed is UGLY!!! A bright ugly orange hahaha! BUUUUUUUT, if color is not an issue for you (like it wasn’t for me), THIS BED IS SOLID!!!
Solid wood, solid build, solid product!!! Also I want to add that the way it’s designed, it’s very hard to mess up when building. They engineered this bed that all pieces fit perfectly together when the correct pieces are placed in the correct spots. If the holes are off, switch the pieces around until the holes match perfectly! I am in love with this bed!!!

Great bed frame solid wood
Size: Queen, Style: With Headbroad
I read other reviews about this product and someone said that it was sort of orange in color and yes it was I might try and stain the wood a different color not sure but it still looks okay I am not sure if I follow the directions correctly I installed the head board with the hardware showing from the front but I switched it to the back and it looks much better now great value seems well built easy to put together the only problem I had was with the sides I had them switched the boards that are attached go to the top not the bottom other than that it went easy to follow the directions

Too good to be true
Size: King, Style: With Headbroad
Very orange, wish i would’ve read the reviews better. The two cross bars are too long so we had to drill our own holes into 2 of the 14 and make it work, one if the feet didnt have threads and i’m pretty sure when my mattress arrives it’ll hang over the bed.

Sturdy Big Kid Bed
Size: Twin, Style: With Headbroad
My son loves his new bed! He is in this "big kid" bed now and he has adjusted well. I built this with my husband and the instructions are easy to follow. It helps to have a power drill to drill the screws in quickly for the platform. The bed is very sturdy and stable and has a very classic look to it.
