Orchestre de la Paillote - La Guinée moussolou. Syliphone SLP 1. 1967. From the Radio Martiko double lp Music for a Revolution Vol1

The Orchestre du Jardin de Guinée and the Orchestre de la Paillote were two of Guinea’s leading orchestras during the early years of independence. Both groups originated from the Syli Orchestre National, the first orchestra created by the Guinean government in 1959. In circa 1964 the Orchestre de la Paillote were renamed as Keletigui et ses Tambourinis, led by Keletigui Traoré on tenor sax. A multi-instrumentalist, Keletigui is a “founding father” of modern Guinean music, commencing his
career in 1950 as a guitarist. He later joined (as the first African musician) the house orchestra of
Conakry’s Hotel de France, and in 1956, at the age of 22, he formed his own group - Harlem Jazz. He
is renowned for introducing the flute into modern Guinean music, and his orchestra featured some
of the very best Guinean musicians. From their first LP for Syliphone, “La Guinée moussolou” pays
homage to Guinean women (in the language of the Mandé, “moussolou” translates as “women”).
During the presidency of Sékou Touré, gender equality was upheld as a central pillar of the
government’s platform, and the nation featured at least three all-female orchestras. To a stately and
dignified tempo, the magnificent Linké Condé - one of Guinea’s electric guitarists par excellence -
delivers the first solo, followed by Keletigui on tenor sax.
