Notes:

[From the liner notes:
The recordings on these 2 CDs were originally released on cassette in Senegal in 1982. Some time later the six tracks contained on CD 1 were released as a vinyl album in France. It was this record that became something of a Holy Grail for fans of African Music, and it was these same six tracks that World Circuit released for the first time on CD in 1989 under the title Pirates Choice. This new edition also includes the remaining six tracks from the original sessions, again for the first time on CD. All twelve tracks are now presented with improved sound, re-mastered from the original session tapes.
