Africando All-Stars - Mandali

The Africando All-Stars are an interesting grouping of New York Salsa musicians with Puerto Rican and Senegalese backgrounds.  Salsa was a term invented in New York in the 60's/70's but its roots go back to African rhythms and Son Cubano and Son Montuno.  In other words, New York was the pivotal sphere of Salsa music for many years in its combination of cultures.  So Africando, formed in 1990, is right up that thread.

Salsa has been a popular musical form in Central and Western Africa for decades, and the Senegalese style is notable for the beautiful traditional vocal harmonies that are incorporated in.  Dancing or moving to this group is irresistible and really why the fuck would you want to resist it anyway?
