Danson & Charanga Night, Dakar
Great party flyer, with DJs from the 60s-70s period in Dakar... latin records all night long!

At this time, big part of DJs selections was cuban music arrived from the 50s through sailors. (It remains easier to dig latin records than african records in Dakar now). Dakar danced deacades to this latin (and caribbean) rhythms, which influenced deeply local musicians and productions.
Big up to Duo Los Compadres...
