International relevance: -
Ahmadu Jarr (sometimes Ahmadu Jah) was
an in-demand Sierra Leonean drummer and percussionist, appearing on a
myriad of Swedish 70's albums by Egba, Splash, Pop Workshop,
Sundance, Folk Och Rackare and others, plus as many by 'commercial'
artists. (He's also father of Swedish singers Neneh Cherry and Titiyo
Jah.)
”En dag i Afrika” (”a day in
Africa”) is a children's album of sorts (featuring children) on which Jarr sings and plays
traditional music from Sierra Leone and explains the songs' place in his native country, often with a political twist. No progg content; the album is included here only because of
Jarr's tight connections to the scene.
