Super Biton De Segou

Afro-jazz-folk Collection, Vol. 1 (2lp)

The Super Biton has existed since the '60s. The orchestra developed and incorporated amplified instruments that mingle with brass, in particular electric guitars, symbols of modernity at the time. It opened up to Cuban music, and congas and bongos made the sound of the orchestra complete. The group drew a unique sound from it, a perfect balance between tradition and the modern. The Super Biton has been the best known orchestra from Mali for years and their LPs are very sought after. Ségou is a crossover between Bambara, Fulani, Mandingo and Somono cultures and Biton has drawn on all these traditions to create a repertoire extremely rich in rhythms and words.
