Release Date: 2011

Label: Kora Sons

Recorded in April 1956 on the cliffs of Bandiagara by François Di Dio.

From the liner notes:
"First Issued in 1957, these recordings appeared on Les Dogon (SOR 1 & 2), a 12 page booklet with two (10") discs produced not for sale by SORAFOM (Société de Radiodiffusion de la France d’Outre-mer, what would later become Ocora). Later, the first commercial version came out with a 16 page booklet and one LP (Les Dogon: OCR 33) produced under my direction by Ocora. This album being out of print for years, François Di Dio and I decided to reissue on CD all recordings from both versions." - Charles Duvelle, 2011
