Rising from the Super Eagles: Ifang Bondi and "Salimata"

Ifang Bondi brings us our random tune for today, called Salimata. A band from The Gambia, Ifang Bondi (the band's name means "Be Yourself") formed in the early 1970s from the band The Super Eagles and at first concentrated on Western pop music. Later, they began to exhibit a more African sound with vocal harmonies accompanied by kora, guitar and keyboards. One of their band members is internationally known artist and ritti player Juldeh Camara. You can find Salimata on their 1998 album Gis Gis.
