horoya band national @ 45tours



I believe the very best Syliphone stuff is on the singles, so here's another collection from far and near. Some sound clean, others nasty, but they're all here, including five consecutively-numbered singles from 1974 and three tracks from annual Discotheque collections that were not released as 45s. For the like-minded, check out this bootleg cassette with what seem to be Syliphone outtakes. Great ones. Flinstonian sound quality, but still..!

Beautiful, beautiful post. Keletigui, Kaloum Star, Balla and now Horoya 45s... I don't know how you manage to do this, but I hope you're having as much fun as I do listening to the results! Thanks a million.

My efforts are rewarded by listening to the results. These guys are amazing, these long lost treasures proving that they're equal to any of the better known Syliphone outfits. Tell your friends.

I am Oumar, from Guinea. Thank you a lot for this colletion. The songs recall me my childhood in Conakry in the late sixties and early seventies. Horoya Band's lead singer Lansiné Kanté passed away on July 2011. Fodé Dioubaté, the second singer died tragically 1982 in a car crash.

dusty discs, lusty sounds, rusty needles, trustworthy compounds from the vinyl alchemists

thanks and praises!

Fabulous, just fabulous! Great to have all the singles - and especially great as they are such wonderful songs! Thanks for your gold-mining, these 45tours sets from Guinea are just wonderful.
