Dieuf-Dieul De Thies
Unlike a calendar year, a musical year never really ends. For many of us, the search goes on as we continue to seek out
missed hits and lost treasures from days and decades gone by. A new discovery for me last year, albeit one that only gained a
full release for the first time in 2013, is 'Aw Sa Yone Vol.1' by Dieuf-Dieul De Thies. This fusion of Senegalese rhythms,
impassioned vocals, Afro-Jazz brass and dense fuzz guitars was recorded in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but wasn't made
widely available at the time. The nine long tunes are a fabulous, often hypnotic trip and this wonderful album comes with my
highest recommendation. Here, as a taster, is a short edit of the opening track, 'Na Binta'.
