Afro Swing (1999)

" Afro Swing is some avant-garde Guinean music. Take the spirit of American jazz classics like John Coltrane or Ornette Coleman and then throw it away for traditional West African instruments and influences. Then, add some vocals that sort of sound like between Tom Waits and Louis Armstrong, but are still unique in its own way. Shake it all up and you might get an idea of what to expect. Or not."
