Nord Cameroun Rhythms - Lamido/Astadjam Dada Sare


I was shown this Afrobeats type ensemble the other day, however I've been finding it very difficult to find any information on the group; other than that the singer is possibly Hamad Kalkaba and that it was recorded on the label Sonafric while Kalkaba was recording with "Le Grand Orchestre de la Garde Republicaine de Cameroun". The record only contains two tracks, and unfortunately the quality of the mp3's isn't very high, if I can acquire a different copy I'll reupload it at a later date.

The music is very funky and is a good addition to anyone's Afrobeats collection, it reminded me a lot of Orchestre T.P. Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou upon first hearing it. Highly recommended. In fact here is a link to the second track on Youtube:
