Guelewar Band of Banjul - LP : Sama Yaye Demna N'Darr / 1980 Valérie VAL 001
Guelewar Band of Banjul has been further developing the afro-manding sound of Ifang Bondi during a short period in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With strong percussion, a psychedelic tinge, prominent keyboards and saxophones, Guelewar's music is an "Aha-Erlebnis", but surprisingly enough, not a single album has ever been reissued on CD, whereas their LPs are sometimes offered at horrendous prices.

Band members on Sama Yaye Demna N'Darr:
Njok Malick Mike Njie bass;
Oussou Ndiaye drums;
Moussa Njobdi Njie guitar;
Laaye N'Gom keyboards, backing vocals;
Adu Salla percussion;
Alive Badara Cham N'Gom percussion;
Koto Suno Icoto N'Gom percussion;
Bas Lo Fara Biram saxophone [Alto];
Laaye Sallah Ombor saxophone [Tenor];
Moussa N'Gom vocals
