Super Mama Djombo, the best known band in Guinea-Bissau, is currently in Iceland and will perform in a concert tonight in Reykjavík and tomorrow in Akureyri.
According to a press release, the legendary Super Mama Djombo dominated the music scene of their home country, Guinea-Bissau, in West-Africa in the 1970s.
Their lyrics reflected not only post-independence optimism but also the joy and worry of common people—and the new rulers, or camaradas, were not spared criticism.
Alongside these lyrics, Super Mama Djombo added the rhythms of gumbé, a fusion of Guinean Creole and traditional music with diverse ethnic origins. Iceland Review
