Super Mama Djombo - Super Mama Djombo: 4.5 stars


Apparently, they recorded only once - six hours of material at the same time in Lisbon. This compilation includes three from Na Cambanca (one with a different title that I can't quite match up with Na Cambanca, "Seiango," and their big hit "Pamparira 79," here titled "Pamparida"), one from Festival, one from Mandjuana, and two from A Memoria De N'Famara Mane. The album is rounded out with six previously unreleased tracks, plus a live introduction. The six hours of recordings appear to have been put out in part on five original albums from Cobiana, four mentioned above. The other, Sol Maior Para Comandante, appears to be one long track, split into two ~18 minute sides. I will listen to all of these Cobiana releases.

Incidentally, other than the five Super Mama albums, Cobiana only appears to have put out one other album, by Ze Manel & 2M G-B, which I will also evaluate.
