Ive been looking for this album for about 25 years! have it on a very well used tape and whislt not the worlds greatest afficianado of African music, though i like a lot and have quite a bit, this to me has everything, but particularly the wonderful rhythmic slant and guitar sound and melody like no other. Hurrah for the re-release!
