Volume One 1970-1979

This release compiles rare tracks from Mali's Sorry Bamba. Sorry's greatest legacy is his time as the leader of the Regional Orchestra of Mopti, which later became known as the Kanaga Orchestra, and it is this period documented on Volume One 1970 - 1979. Many of these songs are previously unreleased and most are highly sought after as originals are nowhere to be found. Alex Minoff and Ian Eagleson (both of Extra Golden) have worked closely with Sorry Bamba to compile and fully restore this collection of songs for official release. CD version comes in a 4 panel mini-LP style gatefold package with 4 page booklet of photos and notes. 2 x LP version is limited to 1,000 copies worldwide and includes art worked inner sleeves with photos and notes as well as a free download coupon. A second volume of archival recordings is already in the works.
