{"product_id":"bambay-gueej","title":"Bambay Gueej","description":"Personnel includes: Cheikh Lo (vocals, guitar, drums, percussion); Oumou Sangare (vocals); Habib Faye (acoustic guitar, bass); Oumar Sow (guitar); Richard Egues (flute); Thierno Kouyate (alto \u0026amp; tenor saxophones); Pee Wee Ellis (tenor \u0026amp; baritone saxophones, Hammond B-3 organ); Daniel Ramos, Yanko Pisaco, Yaure Muniz, Raul D'Olivera (trumpet); Joe De Jesus (trombone); Bigga Morrison (Hammond B-3 organ); Pathe Jassy (bass); Badou N'Diaye (drums); Carlos Gonzales (bongos); Williams Cumberbache (congas); Samba N'Dokh M'Baye (tama); Thio M'Baye, Babacar Faye (percussion).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Jololi Studios, Dakar, Senegal, Africa and Youssou N'Dour's Studio, Senegal, Africa.\u003cbr\u003eCheikh Lo has been cultivating his infectious West African pop vibe for more than a decade. BAMBAY GUEEJ, the follow-up to his acclaimed 1996 debut, punctuates the Senegalese songsmith's earthy Afro-folk and sweet, reedy voice with funky horn blasts and a buttery brew of American R\u0026amp;B.\u003cbr\u003eCheikh's Dakar-based band--featuring talking drums, percussion, acoustic\/electric guitars and bass--gets a groove lift from a horn section led by James Brown alumnus Pee Wee Ellis. The brassy hits and stop-on-a-dime breaks of \"Jeunesse Senegal\" conjure images of the JBs passin' the peas at a juju party, while the title track shifts the Godfather's \"Soul Power\" into tama-fueled overdrive. Elsewhere, influential Cuban flautist Richard Egues floats through the passages of \"M'Beddemi,\" underscoring Cuba's deep African roots, while Malian singer Oumou Sangare lends her striking voice to \"Bobo-Dioulasso,\" a moving duet sung in the Bambara language. Produced by crossover king Youssou N'Dour, BAMBAY GUEEJ is heady and danceable world fusion into which Cheikh Lo stirs a sense of musical mystery and heartfelt spirituality.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46568875032863,"sku":"769233005724","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/9418a56abc1337f531ba3cb14d3b3266_d33858e5-925c-40e2-97e1-941e3913c57d.jpg?v=1777963564","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/bambay-gueej","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
