Trovador Vol. 1
Released
It was this album that introduced the now legendary afro-Salsa supergroup Africando to the world in 1993. The group formed in New York in 1992 and brought together salsa musicians and West African singers, and over the years their ever-changing lineup has included some of Africa’s biggest names (such as Tabu Ley Rochereau, Koffi Olomide, Salif Keita). Arranged by Malian flutist Boncana Maiga, and with the voices of Senegalese Star Band members Pap Seck and Medoune Diallo, Trovador offers a fresh, original approach to Afro-Cuban music.
