Quick Overview

Jamm is the first new album in five years from one of Africa s great musical mavericks, Senegalese singer & multiinstrumentalist Cheikh L . This is his most distinctive and personal album since his groundbreaking, Youssou N Dourproduced debut Ne la Thiass in 1996. On Jamm, L s infectiously funky mbalax rhythms are given a subtle pan-African slant, shot through with elements of highlife, Afrobeat and Congolese rumba, with more eclectic touches bubbling away - a reggae lilt, an Afro-Cuban swing and some deliciously weird Afro-surf guitar! Crowned by L s inimitably affecting vocals.
