SalamSalam - Salam [WM016] (June 18, 2005)

Salam was founded in 1998 in Zichuinchor, Senegal.
At that time Thierno Barry played at cultural evenings and at the Alliance Franco/Senegal, together with another guitar player.
Thierno wanted more, however, so he started an adventurous journey, alone with his guitar. He moved to Abéné, a small village near Casamance river, where he met a fabulous percussion player. A new Salam was born.

Current members of Salam:
Thierno Barry : vocals and guitar
Diakass : percussion and vocals
Ajji Boj : guitar and vocals

African folk
Salam is inspired by the sounds of the Casamance.
The rich musical traditions of the Mandinka and Diola tribes have a large influence on the style of Salam. A style they call “African folk” themselves.

Salam fight for world peace through their music,
they warn us for the dangers of drugs
and they sing about love…
Peace and love, oneness of heart and soul for everybody.

Subject: Genial!
Eine wirkliche nette "African Folk"-Veröffentlichung aus Senegal. Die fünf Titel kommen lediglich mit Perkussion, Gitarren und Gesang aus, wobei der Gesang leider an manchen Stellen leicht übersteuert ist. Trotzdem ein tolles Album, das nach mehr Schreit und unter den Netzveröffentlichungen Seltenheitswert haben dürfte.

It's nice to hear an 'ethnic' release in the netaudio community. There so much good talent in this field of music and it rarely gets exposed beyond live, local gigs. Keep it up WM!
