Assiko Golden Band De Grand Yoff
Magg Tekki
Boomkat Product Review:
Glorious, swingeing cause for celebration by Dakar, Senegal’s 17-piece band, led by griot poet Djiby Ly (Wau Wau Collectif) and hard on the mark somewhere between Count Ossie, Fela Kuti & Tony Allen, and Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force
‘Magg Tekki’ introduces Assiko Goldne Band de Grand Yoff on record for the first time, and supplies the only documentation of their verve beyond grainy cellphone footage online. They are staples of Dakar nightlife, regularly fuelling all night wedding sessions, illicit parties and political rallies with their massed polyrhythms and chants, found here subtly overdubbed with chops on sax, accordion, and faithfully rhythmelodic percussion by Karl Jonas Winqvist and pals back in Sweden, where his Sing A Song Fighter label co-operated with Portland, OR’s Mississippi Records on this, the band’s international debut.
The band hail from a downtrodden part of town, Grand Yoff, and function not just as party starters but also a mutual aid group for the community, with Djiby Ly acting as mellifluous spokesperson preaching syncretic messages of hope derived from Islamic Sufi teachings of the Mouride Brotherhood, Christianity, and indigenous animist beliefs. No matter if you can’t tell what he’s saying; his enchanting cadence and infectious music clearly conveys their hopeful rhetoric and mood in abundance between the slicing shuffle of ‘La Musique Du Cœur’ and wooden churn of ‘Borom dare’ for anyone listening.
In a similar, but more subtly altered, manner to Mark Ernestus’ dub rendering of Ndagga Rhythm Force, the music is also finely overdubbed with saxophone, accordion, kora, bells and effects in Stockholm in a way that doesn’t distract from their original energy, and perhaps places them in a lane adjacent recent sides by Sweden’s Goat. It’s simply a joyous affair, spotlighting the West African diasporic roots of sounds that would shore up Jamaica and inspire the rest of the world between the air-stepping lilt of ‘Magg Tekki’, the rolling bustle of ‘Baye Ndongo’, and the ebullient atmosphere to ‘Mix Louange’.
