Les sources de la musique Cubaine viennent de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, l'on retrouve ses rythmes de percussions et de claves dans les tambours et les cloches des musiques ancestrales des cérémonies animistes. A l'époque de l’esclavage, les Africains ont apporté ces rythmes en Amérique et aux Antilles. Les musiciens Cubains de New York ont ajouté les cuivres pour créer la salsa, appréciée et dansée depuis longtemps par les Sénégalais. Dans les années 60, Ibrahim Kassé forme le Star Band pour animer le Miami, son club de Dakar. A cette époque c’est la musique afro-cubaine qui fait danser les dakarois et tous les pionniers sénégalais de cette musique feront leurs débuts au sein du célèbre Star Band, Laba Sosseh, Pape Seck, Rudy Gomis, Balla Sidibé, Barthélemy Attisso, Thione Seck, Pape Fall ...

PAPE SERIGNE SECK a giant of African popular music, died of liver cancer in Dakar, Senegal on February 2, 1995. He was a master vocalist, a pioneering musicians' union leader and an irreplaceable keeper of the flame.

Pape Seck was born on July 20, 1946 in Dakar, Senegal. He is survived by his wife, Isseu Niang, a "Grande Artiste" who is Senegal's most beloved movie and television commedienne, and by their two children.

During his early career, he rode the crest of the fever for Latin music that swept the great port city of Dakar. Recordings by such artists as Eddie Palmieri and Johnny Pacheco were readily available. The Senegalese bands' covers of this material were performed in phonetically learned Spanish and they replaced the original string and flute arrangements of Cuban charanga with guitar licks. When independance was achieved in 1960, Ibra Kasse formed the Star Band de Dakar at to play at his club, the Miami Bar. At a young age, Pape Seck was co-lead vocalist with Labah Soseh of this trailblazing group and also sang in some of its later permutations. Although Star Band was known for its Latin repertoire, Pape Seck was one of the first musicians to incorporate local instruments and flavors into his sound. Later on, Youssou N'Dour passed through the band and went on to fine-tune this recognizably Senegalese popular music, which became known as mbalax.

In the late autumn of 1992, I was working for the U.S. branch of Stern's Music and our London office informed me of an impending project. The plan was that Ibrahima Sylla (the John Hammond of Africa) would come to New York to make a African-Latin cross-over record with three singers from Senegal and the Malian flute whiz and arranger, Boncana Maiga. Upon arrival, Mr. Maiga set about engaging some of the best session men in town. As Latin music had evolved largely from the African roots of the slaves who ended up in Cuba and other places; and various musicians back on the continent, notably from Senegal and Zaire, had re-Africanized the rumba and other forms, the time was ripe for a large scale encounter. The recording was meant to re-seal the circle, source to source; and was released in two volumes available on the Stern's label by a group called Africando.
