DESCRIPTION
Janka Nabay is the world’s undisputed king of modern Bubu Music. Janka’s Bubu Music, which has its roots in the tribal music of his native village in Sierra Leone, is a frantically paced and rhythmic dance music played with a combination of native and electronic instruments. As war raged in Sierra Leone, Janka recorded one last batch of bubu songs at Forensic Studios in Freetown, then boarded a plane for New York. Some of these recordings are found on this ep.
