Dur-Dur Band - Somalia 3LP
Dur-Dur Band - Somalia 3LP
Analog Africa (Germany)
This triple LP reissue of the band's first two albums – the first installment in a three-part series dedicated to Dur-Dur Band – represents the first fruit of Analog Africa's long labours to bring this extraordinary music to the wider world. Remastered from the best available audio sources, these songs have never sounded better. Some thirty years after they first made such a splash in the Mogadishu scene, they have been freed from the wobble and tape-hiss of second and third generation cassette dubs, to reveal a glorious mix of polychromatic organs, nightclub-ready rhythms and hauntingly soulful vocals. In addition to two previously unreleased tracks, the music is accompanied by extensive liner notes, featuring interviews with original band members, documenting a forgotten chapter of Somalia's cultural history. Includes unlimited streaming of Dur Dur - Volume 1, Volume 2 & Previously Unreleased Tracks via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
