Africando
Africando is a cross-country collaboration, uniting musicians based in New York
with Senegalese vocalists performing a merge of salsa styles from both sides of
the Atlantic, focusing primarily on the African tradition.
Initially brought together by producers Ibrahima Sylba and Boncana Maiga, the
group's first two albums 'Trovador' and 'Tierra Tradicional' gained great
success in Africa in the early 1990s. After continued success, the group invited
musicians from other countries further afield to form the Africando All-Stars.
This included the likes of Koffi Olomide, Salif Keit...
