Sami Kamara and his Black Diamonds - Songs and rhythms of Sierra Leone
From Global Groove
Sierra Leone is a country of many languages, part from Creole, wich is spoken in the capital Freetown and is based on 'Pidgin English', there are also 'Mende' and 'Timini'. On this album by the Black Diamonds we hear all those languages. Bandleader Sami Kamara claims that he invented the band's name when he thought he tripped over a rock that appeared to be a Diamond. Great coverpicture, the ladies are singers and drummers in the group. And how about Sami with his kazoo.
