Recorded in New York and New Jersey (sound), and in Abidjan Studio JBZ by Francois Yaro (voice) with Amadou Balake (lead voc). Directed by Boncana Maïga.
Released in 2000 on:
Africando All Stars: Betece
(T: 5:01)
- ""Betece" makes room for a tres
and a piping charanga flute over a deliciously supple bass rhythm. Beefy,
below-the-belt horns cut in and out of the booming bowl of sound, and Amadou
Balake, Burkina Faso's pre-eminent musical artist, shines in this illustrious
company with an effortlessly soulful and very African performance." (Mark
Hudson)
