Pure tribal beats intersected with vocals .......2004-09-02

If it's pure tribal beats intersected with vocals you seek, take a listen to Brice Wassy's BALENGU VILLAGE.
 This is the music of West Cameroon: and who better to demonstrate its range than Wassy, who grew up as a boy surrounded by traditional village rhythms, picking out his own on handmade instruments.

A subtle masterpiece.......2000-11-13

This is African Jazz-the sound of Balengu Village, West Cameroon, through the ears of an Afro-Parisian in London. Brought to you by Brice Wassy, the drumming heartbeat of Salif Keita (Soro, Koyan), Manu Dibango, Talking Heads, Toure Kunda, Jean-Luc Ponty, Miriam Makeba, Graham Haynes, Francis Bebey, Joe Zawinul, David Murray, Wally Badarou... This is a highly personal record, recorded in Wassy's hometown in Cameroon, with additional recording and mixing in Paris. I feel the only honest way to evaluate a recording is by how many times you play them. I'm sure Balengu Village was my most played CD in my collection last year. Favorite track: Manga Blues.
