Observations:

“This album was originally released in 1970.
The name of the band that recorded the tracks on the B side was Orchestre Saf Mounadem. The one in the A side was Orchestre Laye Thiam , both of them formed from former members of the Star Band of Dakar.
This split album was recorded and released by Ibrahim Kassé.
Orchestre Saf Mounadem was later known as Orchestra Baobab, so these tracks can be considered their first recording.”

Observations:

Djibril Diop Mambéty is heard on the track “Djibril” describing his creative process,

It’s very simple. You must close your eyes.
Have you closed your eyes?
You see points of light. Close them tightly.
Each time that you want to see the light, you must close your eyes.
