While music has been one of the most poignant methods for unleashing his creativity, Senegalese artist Mor Thiam is a much deeper character than just your everyday Afrobeat musician. Aside from being a magnificent drummer, the man is also a cultural historian, and has been heavily involved in the wider entertainment industry since the 1970s. Dini Safarrar (Drums Of Fire) is his debut album from '73 and, until Jazzman did us this beauty of a favour, has been a sort of mirage for many record collectors, making this an even more special reissue to have on our shelves. Much like the works of Sun Ra, this album has everything; from fiery, psyched-out ballads, to deeper and more jazzy moments, it really is a work of rare breed. What we love most about it is its haziness, a subtle coating of distortion and rawness that completes every sound, every horn, and every drum roll - the latter being the most prominent and singular aspect of this album. A very special and highly recommended release - be quick!
